Good Morning!
My friend and Jbelle teammate, Jill, has asked us to spread the word about a little boy who is in his last stages of Neuroblastoma Cancer. Noah is only 5 years old.... Noah's family is celebrating Christmas next week and Noah has requested Christmas cards to come in the mail. Please, if you can, send a Christmas card to Noah at this address:
Noah Biorkman1141 Fountain View Circle
South Lyon, MI 48178
You can read all about Noah HERE. Have a tissue nearby....
I have a couple of cards to share with you today that I made using Verve's new Believe stamp set. Don't forget that for EVERY Believe stamp set Julee sells, she will donate $10 to the Susan G Komen for the Cure fund. What a generous thing for Julee to do!
The base of this card is Whisper White and is 5" square. The next layers are first, bottom up, Pink Pirouette, Basic Black and Whisper White. I then added black brads to each corner. Can you BELIEVE that I actually TILTED something!?!?!? Oh my gosh, this is definitely a first for me!!! LOL!!! I am so ridiculous, my projects are ALWAYS straight, not crooked unless I screw up and I always tell you all that I screwed up!!! LOL!!! The tilted panel is first Basic Black and then an old piece of polka dot paper by KI Memories. The strip is Whisper White which was punched using my EK Success tiny scallop punch and then a piece of pink decorative paper by Bo Bunny (again, kindof old, like me!!!! LOLOL). I stamped the sentiment directly on the DP using Basic Black ink. The darling little flowers are by ZVA and can be found HERE! I tied the flowers together using the black and white gingham ribbon and then adhered the flowers to the card using a glue dot.
My next card was SUPER easy!
The card base is Basic Black. I added a Daisy D rub on which is an old one I have had for YEARS!! I then added the pink Heidi Swapp rhinestones down the side and added a few randomly on the rub on. The sentiment (from the Believe set) was stamped on Whisper White using Basic Black ink and then cut out using my Sizzlets Lots of Dies. I added a couple of the same rhinestones, adhere it using dimensionals and then added another rub on included in the package. See how easy that was?!?!?!
I hope you have a GREAT day and thank you SO much for stopping by!
