Cuttlebug Perfect Perennials Folder

Hello! Happy Friday...if you are like me, I live for Friday! I know...that is really wishing my life away! Well today I have a very very simple card to show you. This card was created using the Cuttlebug Perfect Perennials folder. I just love the embossing that this folder creates! This is one of the newer cuttlebug folders that embosses and  cuts all in one swipe...although you may not be able to tell in the picture, there is a window cut out on the card...I put a gorgeous gold sticker in that window. I offset the embossed panel a little so I had an edge on the left hand side of my card...I used a Krylon Gold Leafing Pen to create the gold strip on that edge. I had picked up this pen way back in June and was delighted to be able to use it. I hope to use it more when I create my holiday cards. Well, I thank you again for stopping in to see me today. I will surely visit all of you as well! Have a blessed day today!

HUGS!

Autumn Blessings

Good morning!! And it is Glitterbabe Challenge day! Our challenge this week is sponsored by Jennifer at JLJ Designs. Please stop by and check out her shop and images! Thanks so much for sponsoring us Jennifer! The winner of this weeks challenge will get three...yes THREE digi images and a paper pack from her store! Be sure to include your BLING as that is the main requirement from Glitterbabe! We were also challenged to frame the image we used. I chose to use the pumpkin image....printed it in 3 sizes...colored with copic markers and layered it. For my frame, I created a ring of leaves. I used the Martha Stewart leaf punch to create my leaves and punched them out of glittered card stock for my bling. I stamped and embossed my sentiment on a Spellbinders tag and added a couple of buttons. I received an awesome assortment of fall colored buttons from my daughter in law...I just couldn't wait to use them. Thanks so much Melissa! Well that is all for me for today, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for hanging with me during my absence! I will be out to see all of you later on today to see what you have been up to! Have a blessed day!

HUGS!
