We've loved watching these puppies grow, they have had many cuddles.... almost 3 weeks now and are just opening their eyes.
How cute are they :) they remind us each day how good God is! We have also had our daughter home form Uni for a week break which is always great! she is doing really well.
Ok so back to the paper crafting.... Ive been playing with an idea i seen on utube making lattice effect card fronts. This one is a non traditional looking lattice
I used the label eight nestabilities dies from spellbinders to create the opening on the card front and then latticed it in with the 5 petal punch, Boho blossoms , branch and butterfly die from stampin up. I wasn't totally happy with the end result but I think Ill keep playing with the abstract idea. So I then went on to make the more traditional lattice front (card above) and I really liked how it turned out and decided to make them into Christmas cards. I used the second largest die from the labels five set nestabilities and each of the lattice strips of card are approx 1/8" wide.
This one I rolled a so swirly background and added just the one full flower. Below is a close up of the flowers done the same way as my hydrangeas found here. The only difference is that the largest flower has a double bottom layer and each of the flowers has a small flower from the Boho blossoms punch added to the center. The ink colours I used were so saffron, real red and rich razzleberry on the tips. The holly leaves are a Martha Stewart punch sponged with old olive ink.
It felt really good to get back into some paper craft creations and I hope you too enjoy this idea to try..... sit back and enjoy the video :) thanks heaps everyone ...Valita

God bless.....
Valita, This card is beaufiful & such a wonderful idea. I never would have thought to do this technique. I am certainly going to make some tho.
So sorry to hear about your troubling times. My thoughts & prayers are with your family. Things will be OK and start looking up for your husband. Your right God does have a plan for all of us.
God Bless
What a great card. I went to a Leone Em workshop yesterday and am all fired up to make some flowers and even bought a piece of lattice paper for inspiration and here you have given me heaps of inspiration.
Hopefully your Hubby will get a job offer soon and things will get back to some normality again for you.
take care and God Bless

Hello Valita!
I am so happy to see you back posting! I have been keeping you and your family in my prayers and I am so relieved to hear that you are all persevering and well!
Please do take care of yourself and try to take each day one at a time in whatever increment that you can handle. I am very familiar with panic attacks and at times in my life, 5 minutes at a time was all I could deal with. Get through one section of time and on to the next. Breaking it down can help. It can.
Know that you are loved by so many and the good thoughts are coming your way from all directions! :<)
Wishing you and your husband all good things! Nothing stays the same - a job will appear soon! You have a strong faith - it will get you through this difficult time!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
What a gorgeous card. Thank you so much for doing this video and showing how to make this beautiful project.
My husband has been laid off more than he has worked this year so I sort of know what you are going through. You just take one day at a time and somehow things will work out with some added help from the man upstairs.
stamp on...
What a beautiful card! How creative you are! I am going to "borrow" this idea for sure. Maybe for my Christmas cards this year.
Thanks for sharing.
