Special Reason in Bermuda Bay

When the Sale-a-bration free items included a variety pack of Glimmer Papers, I knew I wanted to create with the bundle, Special Reason in Bermuda Bay.

I used my 2-1/2" Circle Punch (now retired) to munch out four circles of Glimmer Paper to place behind this Whisper White panel die cut with this die from the bundle. I attached it to the back of the panel with Tear and Tape adhesive, and it helped to attach to the embossed piece later.

The Card Corsage is made with Bermuda Bay sequins, Mint Macaron 5/8" Mini Striped Ribbon, and a Mint Macaron leaf out of one of the other Glimmer Papers in the pack. The leaf is another die from the bundle! I layered them and attached with the Hand Held Stapler stapler (no longer available), only on the white panel, not through any other layers.

I used more Tear and Tape adhesive to attach the white panel to the Bermuda Bay panel I had embossed with Soft Petals embossing folder. When I was happy with the way it turned out, I attached the assembly to a card base also out of Bermuda Bay.

This card didn't start out in my head this way. In fact, I wasn't happy with the first draft at all and took it to my Facebook fans to help me come up with this final draft! Follow me on Facebook to see more FIRST PEEKS when I'm designing in the studio!

Today Is My Birthday!

Today is my birthday! I made this card last year for someone else's birthday and wanted to talk about how fun it is to make cards for someone else for ANY OCCASION. The die cut sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp, as is the Sketched Heart die. I used the Fine Tip Glue to cover…

Beautiful Friendship Clean and Simple

This might be “simple” but it is a b-e-a-utiful card in the hand! I used a stamp positioning tool to get the hydrangea in the same place for all the cards and then free-handed the roses and leaves. The sentiment is from a versatile set called Happy Thoughts, and it’s a must-have set. Nothing but…

Work of Art Thank You Card

Today's Work of Art Thank You Card comes with a warning: The use of buttons on cards means you need to add more postage. Twenty-one cents, I think. They have to be hand cancelled so the buttons don't get smashed. This is a card layout that I like a lot. The two little layers are…

Swirly Bird Friendship Cards

I don't know about you but I can't get enough of the Swirly Bird Friendship Cards we made in class last month. During this weekend's Tax Free shopping here in Texas, don't forget to add on that bottle of Fine Tip Glue Pen. Don't be fooled by the name … it is a full bottle…

Do You Ever Think About What Color Theory Is?

I’ve heard about Color Theory a lot, but do you ever think about what Color Theory is? I have a favorite program on TV called Home Town, with Erin and Ben Napier in Laurel, Mississippi where homes are sold based on the premise that renovations would be included in their price range. Erin is a…

I love Bermuda Bay! It makes me think "tropical" for some reason. Perhaps I'm longing to be on a sandy beach somewhere. LOL! Love your card! It's very pretty!
