Clothed in Strength Card with Hemstitch Rectangles

Sponsored:  As a designer on the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team, I am provided dies to create projects. I'm also a designer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and receive product from them.

I chose a verse from Rubbernecker Stamps for my card today, Clothed in Strength.  I really like the mix of fonts.  I also used Amazing Paper Grace dies: Trefoil Crest and Hemstitch Rectangles.

Happy Thoughts Card

Think Happy Thoughts and you can fly!  Love that verse!  It seems fitting to put it on a card with birds, don't you think? This card features Amazing Paper Grace dies -  Hemstitch Squares and Hemstitch Circles.  I've also used the leaf branch from Cinch and Go Flowers III.

The verse is framed with a square cut with 2 Hemstitch Squares plus the die that cuts the tiny hemstitch pattern.  I used E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser to fasten it to verse paper because it applies a narrow adhesive line.

I've popped up the verse square with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.  At top and bottom behind the square, I added half circles of Hemstitch Circles, each a solid white circle behind a tan one.  

Leaf branches were cut from tan paper and colored with Distress Oxide inks.  Thin 3D Foam Squares give dimension to some of the leaves.  

A bow of white seam binding is held in place with Adhesive Dots Small.

Graceful Doily Best Wishes Card

Happy 1st of July!  Summer is sure flying by!  Today I have Graceful Doily Best Wishes Card to show you.  Its made with Spellbinders Graceful Doily die set by Becca Feeken and the leaf from Spellbinders Corner Cotillion.  I took my color inspiration from the flowers from Little Birdie.  Loving purple lately!

This card is 6 x 6 inches square cut from Kraft cardstock.  Next is dark purple on a gold mirror paper with a narrow reveal. These are fastened together with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.   I like to use Ultra adhesive on the corners and Dots between.  That way the corners don't come loose.  And I can sometimes move it a bit as the dots release pretty easily at first.  Ultra sticks tight!
Graceful Doily was cut from Kraft and medium purple cardstock.  The two pieces are offset and layered with Kraft on top. I tucked the loops of the pieces together along the edge.  Then I cut out the center circle through both layers.  

The inner design circle was cut with both outer and inside circle dies plus the design ring out of medium purple cardstock.  I cut gold mirror cardstock with both circle dies.  These are fastened together with E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.   E-Z Runner Micro is a narrow adhesive and it fit along the edges.

The pretty flowers are from Little Birdie.  They were my inspiration for colors on this card.  They are fastened in place with 3D Foam Circles White Mix.  I'm liking these 3D Foam Circles under flowers and leaves! Leaves were cut with leaf die from S5-364 Corner Cotillion out of Kraft cardstock. I sponged on Distress Oxide Vintage Photo for a deeper color.  They are fastened with 3D Foam Circles to pop them up a bit.  
The verse was stamped with black ink on off white paper.  I fussy cut around the words.  It's popped up with 3D Foam Squares – White Mix cut to fit. 

Finally, I added a bow of seam binding with gold cord that's fastened in place with Adhesive Dots Medium.

thank you so much for stopping by!
