A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

GUEST DESIGNER POST - DIGISTAMP BOUTIQUE

Hi Everyone

Happy Thursday!

I hope your week is going well .. .. have you seen any of the snow? 

So here we go with my first Guest Designer post for the DigiStamp Boutique BlogQuite a scary experience for me as it has been many years since I have been able to post to a blog that is not my own!!  LOL!!  

I decided to have a play with one of the new clear stamp sets called "Just for You".  The image and sentiment come together as a set.




This used:  DigiStamp Boutique Clear Stamp Set:  "Just for You"
Backing Papers:  First Edition Papers:  "Bella Rose"
Spellbinders Nestabilities "Classic and Scalloped Ovals"
X-Cut Corner Rounding Punch
Silver Embossing Powder
ProMarkers
Liquid Pearls for the centre of the blue flowers
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Pearls and Ribbon from my crafty stash box

The vase image is also available as part of a download here .. .. but my image was stamped and coloured with ProMarkers.  I then stamped it a second time and cut out the central flowers, coloured those and added them to the main image with skinny dimension pads.

Then because I had the luxury of a sentiment stamp alongside the image I was able to heat emboss that.  

So there we go .. .. that is me for today.

Congratulations on your DT assignment. Love the fresh spring feel of this pretty card and the roses on the background border are so delicate. The pastel colors are just soothing & happy. Cute arrangement of the florals, and my, you did a fine job of making the water look so realistic with your fab voloring. Love the heart button on the sweet bow. TFS

I know I've said it already, but it's lovely to have you on the team Jules! Love your pretty card... think I might have those papers somewhere. Whenever I see your perfect stitching, it makes me think I should have another go with the dreaded sewing machine, but I somehow think mine would not look like yours lol! Hugs, Lisa x
