You Are Loved

Today I am posting a card from one of the stamps retiring soon. It is clean and simple and I  also did it for a challenge for VC Rocks. The stamp set is You are Loved. So what better way to use it than in a Thinking of You card.  Enjoy!

Have a great Monday.

Thinking of You

Today I made two  Thinking of You cards one in Early Espresso and the other in Midnight Muse. Around here everyone liked the Midnight Muse one better. I was visiting Kay Katlhoff blog here and saw these cards and fell in love with them, and guess what I cased them.! Kay also has a step by step video if you would like to make some of your own. Thanks Kay for inspiring me to go outside my box.

Here is my card using Early Espresso

Here is the Front and inside of my card using Midnight Muse



Supplies I used for these cards:

Stamp Sets                        Thinking of You (Spring Mini), Word Play
Card Stock                        Very Vanilla, Daffodil Delight
Designer Series Paper       Tea for Two
Stampin Ink                        Midnight Muse, Early Espresso
Framelits                           Window Frames  Collection
Brads                                 Glimmer Brads (I used Pumpkin)

Directions

1. I place one of the larger framelits on top of the Very Vanilla piece (51/4" x 4") and ran through my Big Shot to give the cut out,.
2. Then I stamped the image on top and then I used the framelit that fit what I stamped and ran that through the Big Shot this way they fit into each other.
3. You can see Kay's step by step video here, she explains it better than I do.
4. I then cut the chevrons from the Tea for Two designers series paper and placed over the framelit.
5. Next I placed the Brad at the top of my stamped image, then adhered that on top of the chevrons.  Very quick and easy card to do that makes a statement.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Designs by Jackie.  Let me know which one you like? Early Espresso or Midnight Muse?
