Stamp focus: "Believe in You" elegant sweetness

Hello Crafty Friends!

Yesterday in the Suzanne Cannon Fan Group, I shared a card using the lovely stamp, The Best Thing- Believe in You stamp:

It is beyond beautiful stamp with the elegant calligraphy and the sweet, heartwarming quote.  The card I created for Show Me Sunday had the stamp heat embossed using the Gothic Black Modern Gilding Powder.  Kells Gold Gilding Powder was applied along die cut edges.

I really adore the stamp and couldn't bear putting it away until I created another project using it.  Lighter colored papers were used on the card and roses were fussy cut around the quote.  Again, the stamp was heat embossed using the Gothic Black Modern Gilding Powder.  The Modern Gilding Powders have a beautiful smooth finish and really add a special touch to a crafting project.

The black "pops" against the light colors- emphasizing the wonderful quote.  Suzanne's gorgeous stamps and dies allow crafters- new and experienced- to create crafty treasures.

Elegant "The best thing I ever did" card

Hello Crafty Friends!

Do you know what I love about Quietfire Design stamps?  Suzanne's stamps are elegant calligraphy and with wonderful quotes.  "The best thing..believe in you" stamp is no exception:

Isn't it beautiful?  It is a great stamp to create an encouraging or supportive project for someone special.

Card instructions:

1. Create a top fold card 3" x 5.5" from white card stock.
2. Mat floral patterned paper to card front.
3. Use black ink to stamp quote onto white card stock.  Die cut using circle die.
4. Die cut gold card stock.  Mount quote onto gold die cut.
5. Mount stack from step 4 to card front using double sided foam tape.
6. Create triple bow and mount to card front using hot glue.  Mount coordinating wee flowers to bow center.
7. Add die cut corner to card front using foam tape and liquid adhesive.  Mount flower to corner.

Such a pretty stamp and looks magnificent as the focal point on this sweet card!

Did you know that there is also the Believe in Me stamp?  

Thanks for stopping by!  I do hope you enjoyed the project.

Have a happy, crafty day!

Mixed Media "Believe in you"

Hello Crafty Friends!  Happy Monday!

Did you know that there is a Suzanne Cannon Fan Group on Facebook?  The group is a friendly forum for fans to share projects (in process or complete) created using Suzanne Cannon product.  Every Sunday we have a Show Me Sunday where you can show your work area or completed projects.  Last week I shared an in process project: a bright card using water reactive inks and the "Best Thing- Believe in You" stamp.

The background was created using water reactive inks (Spectrum Noir) on water color paper.  The quote was stamped using black Finesse ink.

 The frame was die cut and embossed from scrap pearlescent paper and silver ink applied along the outer edge.  The bright background was cut to size and mounted on a tent fold white card base (4.25 x 5.5).

A few flowers were adhered and the card was complete!  Super easy to make and it has a super sweet quote!

Feel free to to join the Suzanne Cannon Fan Group!  We would love to see you there!  :)

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a happy, crafty day.

The Best Thing I ever did...

Hello everyone,
Yvonne here with a new card using the Quietfire Design stamp The Best Thing - Believe in You.

I love this quote....it describes exactly someone very special in my life...

For my card I used several die-cuts and used 3D foam squares to layer them.
The patterned background layer was altered with distress ink and an ink blending tool.

For the finishing touch some mulberry flowers, a bow and self-adhesive pearls.

Wishing you all a happy crafty day!

Hugs from Holland,
Yvonne
