Happy Easter to everyone!!
A day of rebirth and renewal! We celebrated a lovely Easter Vigil Mass at our church last night, followed by a Resurrection party. Wonderful service. Wonderful evening. Truly He is Risen!
And on that note - one of my friends used the He Is Risen stamp set to create this beautiful card. She is an amazing lady who, in addition to being my friend, happens to be the very first recruit I ever got. Although, to be honest, she is a craft genius and I did not "recruit" her through any of my own merits. She wanted to capitalize on the Demonstrator Starter Kit Special last summer, and I was lucky enough to be her upline of choice. I am very thankful that she chose me and I have been extremely blessed in getting to know her better ever since.
At any rate, Michelle gifted me with this stunning Easter card that I am sharing with you today.
Pear Pizzazz, Perfect Plum and Vanilla all come together beautifully in her creation. The lilies from the He Is Risen stamp set were selectively coloured with the Perfect Plum Stampin' Write marker, then the leaves and stem were coloured in with Pear Pizzazz. The sentiment is stamped on Very Vanilla in Perfect Plum, punched with the Wide Oval punch, and layered on a Plum backing made using the Decorative Label Punch. All three pieces of cardstock making up the front of the card were cut using the Adorning Accents Edgelit Die, and the vanilla piece was also embossed with the Adorning Accents Embossing Folder.
Some Pleated Satin Ribbon and Basic Pearls finish off what I am certain you will agree is an absolutely beautiful card.
Serene. Peaceful. Elegant.
Like the card's creator.
And, come to think of it, her Creator!
I pray that everyone enjoys a Peace-Filled Easter and basks in the glorious gift Our Lord and Saviour gave us. He is Risen Indeed!
God Bless you all, ~Cynthia <><

Triple Treat Thank You - Another Fast & Fabulous Friday
I am so excited to share today's card with you. Honest to goodness, it only took a few minutes to make. And that's a good thing since I have 35 of them I am planning on making today!!
I used Concord Crush and stamped the Triple Treat Flower (one of the Sale-A-Bration freebies) on the white card base, and also onto a piece of scrap white card. The 5-Petal Flower Punch was used to punch out the inner flower and it was mounted onto the card using a dimensional.
The Thank You (from Thank You Kindly) was stamped onto the bottom right of the card. And here's the really "interesting" part....I used the new scalloped-edged embossing folder (Adorning Accents) to emboss a scalloped strip...but only 2/3 of the way across the card. Doesn't that just set the whole Triple Treat Flower off and balance it marvelously?!
A few Itty Bitty punched blossoms and the addition of some Basic Rhinestones and my Thank You card is good to go. It really took no time at all. But let's face it ladies, we all know that the length of time it takes to create a card is NOT an indication of how much we admire or appreciate the recipient, right? It really is the thought that counts. So remember all my fine and wonderful friends - when you receive a hand-stamped card, it was created for you with heartfelt gratitude to say thank you for blessing my life so richly!
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! God Bless, ~Cynthia <><
