Hi! Me again...back with another card creation for the weekend. I've been in the craft room all day and now I'm watching the red carpet for the Golden Globe Awards. I definitely like the red carpet better than the actual show! I love looking at all the gowns and jewels and I like listening to the banter between everyone. It's been a mellow day around our house. The hubs is watching football...and Buddy is...what else...sleeping! I hope you've had a great weekend.
Today I'm sharing a card I made for a friend who moved into her new home this weekend! I'm so happy for her and hope that she has many good times in her new place! She likes antiques and pretty things, so I made her a shabby chic creation using one of my favorite stamp sets from PTI - Love Lives Here - and the matching dies. Hope you likey!
I had so much fun cutting out these tiny houses and picking out the different papers! I put some pretty pink pearls in the middle of the hears.
Here's my supply list... The beautiful pink roses and pearls came from my sweet pen pal Holly in The Netherlands! Like I said, I adore that stamp set. I picked out some 6x6 paper pads and used some of each.
Here is the card and envelope. I also stamped the inside...but I forgot to take a picture of it!
Thanks for spending a part of your day with me! Have a good week ahead!
What a wonderful card, and envelope. Love how you did those houses. You are making this set jump back onto my wish list.

The more I look at this card, the more I love it! I came up with a little inspired re-creation of these little houses for a masculine card, if that seems possible. Lol. Yours is just so lovely and feminine.... *smile*

I was able to see this card "in person" this weekend and it is even more BEAUTIFUL than what you see here. But that is because the persons making and receiveing the card are both beautiful women!
Oh and btw I like the new blog photo!
