His Grace

His Grace is a set of 7 cling stamps you can find on page 30 of the Occasions Mini from Stampin' Up!  
What if you want to use this set for other than Easter, well, that's easy-the flower designs are great for a birthday, sympathy, or thinking of you card.  A great buy for just $20.00
Recipe:

• The base is an 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece of Merry Merlot.
• The 5 1/4 x 6 3/4 piece of Grapefruit Grove is scored at 2 3/4. 
• The Whisper White layer is 5 1/4 x 4.

Tin Tile & Forever Lovely for a Hostess Club Project

My friend, Retha Fulp, who by-the-way, is very talented and super crafty, helped me design this beautiful card using a creative tin tile technique for my March 28, 2019 Hostess Club project.  I just know all of my very dedicated and loyal members will enjoy making it.

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Mossy Meadow scored at 4 1/4. 
• The Soft Sea Foam layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The 5 x 3 3/4 layer of Whisper White is dry embossed with the Tin Tile folder.  Before you put the cardstock into the folder, coat the inside of the folder (the side that has the words Stampin' Up!) with Crumb Cake ink and a Sponge Brayer.
• Then using sponge daubers rub Pool Party and Mossy Meadow ink on the white embossed piece.
• Rub very lightly a Versa Mark ink pad across the inked piece, and heat emboss with Copper Embossing Powder.
• Adhere to the Soft Sea Foam with Tombow Liquid glue, and wrap the 5/8" Burlap around these pieces.  Adhere these two pieces to the Mossy Meadow card base.
• Cut out two ovals, one with Copper Foil, and one with Whisper White card stock using the Layering Oval Framelits dies.  Stamp the words from Forever Lovely with Mossy Meadow ink on the white oval.  Adhere with dimensionals.
• All done, and remember to decorate your envelope.

Pressed Flowers for a Hostess Club Project

I like to offer all of my Hostess Club ladies two technique projects each month, hence, embossed pressed flowers.  So easy, and beautiful.

Everyone who comes to club this March 28, 2019 will have the opportunity to make this beautiful card.  I'm excited.

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Smoky Slate, scored at 4 1/4. 
• The Blushing Bride layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The 5 x 3 3/4 layer of Basic Gray is stamped with Versa Mark ink, and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.  The flowers are from the set, Pressed Flowers, and the words from Dandelion Wishes.
• Once the images have dried, they are colored with Stampin' Blends.
• The ribbon is some Blushing Bride that I have had forever, and it is retired.  Sometimes we have to use up our retired stuff, right?  Just sayin'
• All done, and remember to decorate your envelope.
