Live in the Sunshine Cabinet Card

Hello again friends!

Our weather definitely has a fall feel to it today, so I pulled out my Alterations Thinlits Fall Foliage set and an Idea-ology Cabinet Card to make this birthday card.

I used what ever scraps I had to cut the foliage... some Bo Bunny, K & Company, and a piece of a file folder I had inked with Distress. I made the tag with Sizzix Framelits w/Stamps by Stephanie Barnard and Archival Ink in Coffee. The twigs I had picked up in Pennsylvania during our movie shooting trip.

The wood, laser-cut butterflies are from my favorite shop in Tennessee.

I cut the Thinlits Stitched Oval frame with paper from the Tim Holtz Dapper 12x12 stack.

For the stamping, I picked out a sheet from the 49 and Market Vintage Artistry collection and my The Outpost stamp set by Artistic Outpost. I used my new TH Stamping Platform for this. I have never been much of a stamper, and this tool has really helped me to up my game. I love this thing!!!

For my tag inside the pocket, I added a bow made from Offray 5/8" polyester ribbon I got on sale at Joann's this week and an I Am Roses orange blossom. 

Thanks for stopping by!

You N Me Cabinet Card

One of my favorite scrapbook shops went out of business some time back. It was located in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Whenever we were in the area, we made sure to stop, get inspired, and buy supplies. By being in the area, I mean anywhere in the state of Virginia, so therefor we often drove hours to get there. Well worth the trip though. I very much miss that place, and these cabinet cards are a happy reminder of my shopping excursions. I bought them on our last visit before they closed at a terrific discounted price. But more than a great price, it's still those good memories.

As I said this is a  cabinet card by Tim Holtz that I used as the base. The papers are from Prima's Love Clippings collection.

I made a number of die-cuts using Alterations Thinlits Garden Greens (which I covered in Glossy Accents), Movers and Shapers Mini Hearts...

and Thinlits Lace threaded through with hand-dyed, wrinkled seam binding.

The flowers are from I Am Roses. I included a tag to write a sentiment on and tucked it inside. I added a few crystals here and there.
