Simple Elegance

What says elegance more than Anna Griffin? And the perfect compliments for her products are WorldWin cardstock and Spellbinders dies. This is a page that I did for WorldWin for CHA and I used a little bit of Anna Griffin and it was a perfect combo. Also a little die in the corner from Spellbinders topped it off.

Below you see the beautiful Spellbinders flourish. I added a bunch of little punched blooms that I made. And some little handcut leaves. I also added "faux" stitching with my Zig Marker in Rose.

For the little blooms I just used my Paper Shaper punch, curled the leaves, added some pink to the center and added a little liquid pearl in Petal Pink. More leaves. You can see the edge of the embossed matt behind the picture. This is a Provocraft Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Just one more closeup that shows a little more of the embossed mat. I added some ivory ribbon with a bow.

This was a very simple page, but I think it has a really elegant look to it. All of Anna's products are very elegant and beautiful. She has partnered with some new people and has some different style products also, you really should check out her new stuff! She has Cuttlebug folders and her very own "gold" Cuttlebug available from HSN. (sold out now, but back soon).

Craft-Dee BowZ Blog Hop!!!

Welcome to the firstCraft-Dee Bowz Blog Hop. This months blog hop is featuring a Valentine theme. If you hopped here by way of Brenda's blog then you are in the right place!! Otherwise you might wish to start at the Craft-Dee BowZ blog to become eligible for a Craft-Dee BowZ tool and a spool of beautiful ribbon.

I did a card for this project since it was Valentine themed! The main focus is the pretty bow, which of course was done with the Craft-Dee BowZ tool, it's so easy to use. I've tried other bow gadgets and had a hard time and couldn't even understand the directions to one, but this is super easy to use. I found some old scraps of paper that matched the colors in my ribbons and used some WorldWin Papers cardstock for the base and the die-cut images. The dies are Spellbinders

Here you see a close up of the bow and edge of the die-cuts. I added a little bloom to the center of the bow, not because it was messy, just for the look.

Here's another closeup. You can see I used pop dots and also added two colors of liquid pearls for accents. I liked the way it looked together.

Thank you so much for stopping by and please don't forget to leave a comment to be eligible for one of the cool tools and some ribbon! Your next stop will be Amber's blog.
