Gina's Little Corner of StampinHeaven

Boy does my little corner of StampinHeaven miss me!  Luckily I've got a few cards in my stash I haven't shared, so although I've been sitting at softball fields and NOT in my craft room I still have a few things to share so my poor little blog is so lonely. Here is a card I created a while back.  I was inspired by this sketch from Paper Trey Ink -                                                         My card didn't quite come out with the angle I intended like the sketch above.  When I saw the sketch I knew immediately that I wanted to use our new Chantilly textiles (Z1819) and the Hollyhock Zipper Lace (Z1826) .  I used Chantilly paper (X7163B) for this card because it reminds me of Spring! (Which I wish would come SOON!).     To create my layers I cut the fabric in 1/2" strips.  Then ...

Ah!  I've neglected my blog for over a week!  That is so unlike me!  I went to our annual retreat at Petticoat Junction last weekend so you would think I'd be sharing tons of creations!  I did get some things done but I was working ahead preparing for upcoming club projects and Stamp of the Month Artwork.  So, those things I will share a bit later.  I like to use the retreat time - especially the one in the Spring to get ahead because starting this week, my evenings will be filled with softball games for the next 2 months!  We had our first home game last night and it was pretty darn windy and cold!   I do have a card to share that I made a few weeks ago.   I have been using our new textiles lately trying out different techniques.  I couldn't wait to try a ruffle with the new Hollyhock Lace Zipper.  I used the lace zipper to hide my stitching for the ruffle.    Recipe: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 White Daisy Card Stamp: ...

It's been a REALLY long time since I've created a baby card. When I saw the challenge on The Paper Players to create a baby card with buttons and bows I thought it sounded fun!  I have the new Chantilly textiles and have been anxious to do something with one of the fabrics.  So, I pulled out the Buttercup pattern paper from the Chantilly paper pack and the pear print fabric from the textiles. Using the sketch from Retro Sketches I created this 6x6 card: RECIPE: Chantilly Paper (X7163B) Chantilly Textile (Z1819) Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon (Z1732) Stamp: New Arrival (C1501) Clear Buttons (retired) Pear Ink Black Ink Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge I used the pear fabric on the edge of the buttercup pattern paper.  For those of you that don't like to sew, I didn't use my sewing machine!  I wanted to show how easy it is to add fabric without sewing! First I cut a strip of fabric 3/4" wide.  Next, I used my ATG tape to add adhesive...
