Love card and enveope

This card and envelope was made the same way as the previous one and using the lightweight cardstock for the construction of the envelope. I embossed the Kaisercraft patterned paper and lightly sanded it before adhering to the envelope and card. Another matching pair. The bow was made from paper.

Love card and envelope

I have a 4 piece embossing folders from Sizzix called the Love Set. I love Sizzix folders as they emboss deeper than other folders.
I made a square envelope and then made the card a few centimeters smaller all around to fit inside the envelope. I embossed cardstock and inked it and adhered to both the card and envelope to match. I also inked the flowers to match the ink on the embossing.
I made the envelope from a thin cardstock and quite like its firmness.

Home

 Back of house, front of house, looking out the front door, the 3 car garage alias my Woman Cave where I will be creating.
Brian and I moved the left over bricks from the house and took them up the back of the land. We moved about 850 bricks and moved the blue metal also.All this was done last weekend on the Saturday when it was 35 degrees.

Ribbon Roses




These beautiful red ribbon roses were made for me by one of my beautiful Biology students, Sally. She remembered I liked red roses and made these for me and gave them to me when she finished her HSC.
