New Custom Blog and Best Wishes Vellum Card

Hello blogging friends!  I know it's been a few days since my last post but I am so excited about the New Custom Look on my blog!!  What do you think?  I absolutely LOVE it!!!  I have to give a HUGE Thank You and Shout Out to my dear sweet friend Michele Ciola!!!!  She is the one who designed this Beautiful custom blog for me.  I love it (oh did I already say that--LOL) it's my happy place. :)  Michele is Amazing at Blog/Web Design and HTML codes!!!  Michele is currently in the process of updating her own blog so you might be seeing some changes going on over there but if you would like any information or to contact her click HERE to go to her Contact Us page on her blog Creative Mayhem.   Michele will still be tweaking some stuff on the back end of my blog and adding a couple more elements but everything should be done in the next day or two.  Again a HUGE Thank You Michele--I LOVE IT!!!!! ♥

Today, I have a card to share with you using the beautiful Majesty Vellum from DiscountCardstock.com.  

I used the E3D-006 Framed Labels Eighteen 3D Embossing Folder from Spellbinders Paper Arts® to emboss the Majesty Vellum 27#.

Next I used Crafty Power Tape from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® along the left side of the vellum and then attached it to the card front.  

Then I stamped the sentiment from CR-03640 Spring Words stamp set from JustRite Papercraft on to Simply Smooth White paper from DiscountCardstock.com using Memento Tuxedo Black ink from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineo.  I used S4-310 Labels Eighteen die template to cut/emboss the sentiment and create the label.  To create the leaves I used Herbal Garden paper and S5-129 Foliage Two die templates.

Here is a close up of the card.  Once I had the label on the card front then I added White Satin with Grosgrain Edge Ribbon and Noelle White Crochet Lace Trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I also added some pink and lavender roses and Kaisercraft Lavender Pearls to finish off the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

I hope everyone has a Happy and Safe Holiday weekend!!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi

New Year - New Look!

Hello! Just a quick post--and yes you are on the right blog--LOL!! It's a New Year and I thought it was time for change and a New Look! I created the my new banner this afternoon and then I went in search of a background. I found this pretty background on Cute 'n' Cool Blog Stuff by Itkupilli. She has some Amazing designs on her site--fun, fresh, shabby, vintage and artsy--LOVE it!! I hope you will love the new look as much as I do! Ok, now I have to get back at it--CHA is fast approaching and I am working on several projects---I will be able to share them soon but not just yet. *wink*

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Don't forget to stop back here for the last day of the Spellbinders To Die For!! WINTER RELEASE Blog Frenzy!! Julie Overby and I will be showing the last reveal--January 17th--Day Eight!! Hope you have a Fantastic weekend!

Hugs & Smiles,
Heidi

A New Look

Edit~I have already changed the banner (twice)
Heidi~~who can't seem to make up her mind. *wink*

Hello and Happy Saturday! It looks like it's going to be a Beautiful day here in MN, the sky is blue, the sun is out and it's going to be in the high 40's! Come on Spring!!

So what to do you think of the New Look? I made the banner from a picture I had taken at the butterfly garden. I'm still not sure about the colors?? I tried several colors for the title and even though I'm not a huge fan of yellow it looked the best out of all the colors. So I also decided to try a really pale yellow for the background. I think I'm going to let it be for a few days and see how I like it. It might still change, who knows. I wanted to get away from the black and go with something new and fresh for spring but also to have something that is easy on the eyes. So let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a Terrific day!!
Smiles!
Heidi
