Mover and Shaper...

Good morning friends! I'm happy to report that my husband and the group his was hiking with made it home Friday afternoon from their 57 milke hike! It was so good to finally hear that they were ok! After 5 days of not hearing anything..I was very happy to see my husband's cell phone calling me! They had a great time, go TOTALLY rained on every day...and "forgot what it felt like to be warm"...so I'm glad to have him home! We had a good weekend papmering him and being happy he was back and safe!!

Have you tired the Sizzix Mover and Shapers?! Oh my word, they are a lot of fun!! When my upline Boni came over to stamp a few days ago, she brought hers up and let's just say...what a fun purchase!! One of my favrotie things about it, is that the little shape it punches out-here the curly label-is large enough to use as a layer under a punch from the curly label punch! That made me so excited! The shapes it cuts out of the cardstock are all coordinating with SU paper punches...I love the layering fact!!
So, for this card today, I started with some 12x12 textured Bashful Blue cardstock. I am happy to report that I actually cut into some textured c/s...YEA! I just forget that I have it...but am making a resolve to use it more!! I put a 6x12 piece of cardstock and the mover and shaper Bigz xl, die through the Big Shot. You just put the cut out shape where you want the "window" to appear on your card...so much fun! When it comes out of the Big Shot, you've got a great little window to play with!

The image that is on the inside of the card, that you can see through the window, is an image from the For You stamp set. I stamped the flower image on Whipser White cardstock with Certainly Celery ink, then used my curly label punch to make a perfect shape to fit in my window! I used my Boho flower punch to make a little Bashful Blue bloom to add to the mix-and then added a little pearl from the Pretties Kit to give it a little something special!

I added a Whisper White scallop border to the bottom of the front of the card, with my handy dandy scallop border punch. I used my Certainly Celery ink to ink up my little thank you sentiment from the teeny tiny wishes set. I attached the scallop to the card and then tied my certainly celery 5/8" grosgrain ribbon around the seam.

This die just made it to my list of things that I'd love to play more with!! Thanks for stopping by today! Make it a great one!
