Possibility

Hi, it's Beate again. I can't believe this is my last post already! I want to share with you another card I created for one of the Hope you Can Count On challenges on Splitcoaststampers.

A sentiment from the set Everyday Miracles was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock that had been cut and embossed with a Tear Drop Circle Nestabilities die. The inside was first with Antique Linen, then the edges with Vintage Photo Distress ink. Silver Rhinestones were added to the rim of the Grand Oval Nestabilities dies. The edges were sanded before the layers were adhered to the card base, Neenah Solar White cardstock cut and embossed with a\Grand Scallop Oval Nestabilities die. A black Finesse Rhinestone swirl was cut apart and adhered to the card base before the sentiment panel was adhered to the card base with dimensionals.

White Organdy Ribbon was tied into a bow with help of the Bow-Easy. It was topped with a green button and adhered next to the sentiment circle. A butterfly was cut out of Market paper with the new Donna Salazar Wonderful Wings dies. The butterfly was adhered to the circle and topped with Stardust Stickles. Three black Rhinestones finish of the butterfly and card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! And thanks again to Korin and Taylor for inviting me to join them this month.
Hugs and smiles

Count the Moments

Hi, it's Beate. Thanks to Taylor and Korin for inviting me to be the Guest Designer for October. I'm very excited to be here.

For my first sample I chose a card made for a Hope You Can Cling To Challenge on Splitcoaststampers. I was the hostess and my challenge was to create a circle card.


The card base was cut with the largest of the Large Scallop Circle Nestabilities dies out of Pink Pirouette cardstock. Patterned paper from the Echo Park Victoria Garden pack was cut with a Classic Circle Nestabilities die. Before it was stitched to a slightly bigger white cardstock circle, May Arts Crochet Lace was taped under the horizontal layer.

The sentiment is from Everyday Miracles. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. The sentiment was cut and embossed with a Classic Circle Nestabilities die. One of the butterflies from the same set was partially stamped on the sentiment circle in second generation Shabby Shutter Distress ink. The sentiment was adhered to a slightly bigger pink layer cut with one of the Large Scallop Circle Nestabilities dies.

The butterfly that was used in the sentiment panel was stamped again on a piece of Victoria Garden Echo Park paper with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The butterfly was cut out and colored with Copic Markers (RV10, R43, R46 and E27). It was adhered to the lower left of the sentiment panel. Stardust Stickles was added to the darker parts of the wings and Glossy Accents to the body.

Red Kaisercraft Pearls finish off the card! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
Hugs and smiles

Customer spotlight Sunday

I am very pleased to announce our customer spotlight. Today we are featuring Jane Bosi. Jane used our beautiful Everyday Miracles stamp set for her card. She did a lovely job coloring the butterfly and the papers she chose are perfect. This set just reminds me of spring and I certainly am looking forward to that. Jane also gave the butterfly dimension and that really adds to the beauty of her card.



Thank you for sharing your beautiful card with us today Jane!
