Vacationing in Colorado

July 16, 2017

After a forced vacation, no air conditioning a couple of weeks ago, I am vacationing in Colorado. My daughter and her husband live here and it has been 2 years since I was here. It is such beautiful country and their lifestyle though busy, is relaxing for me. I love being in her beautiful home and just love being with my daughter and incredible son-in-law. She is my web designer and she does a great job at listening to me and knowing just want I want for my blog. If you are looking for a blog or web page she will get you started on your blogging process. Just click this link Get Out There Media and it will take you to her information.

I have a card for you today so lets move on to that!

Kintsugi Inspirations

By Debbie Chronister • June 11, 2025
Today I wanted to show you how you can used this fun stamp & die set and not use the Designer Series Paper. I love the coordinating Designer Series Paper but I think there are about a million posts on the interned showing how to use the DSP so I wanted to reach outside the box and use something else. I selected the wood grain DSP from Beautiful Gallery and I love the way it came out. Be sure to download the free Project Sheet below

Metallic Textures Rub Ons

By Debbie Chronister • May 30, 2025
For this card I started out with the beautiful 2025-27 In Color Strawberry Slush. I used the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and die to cut the flowers.

Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape

By Debbie Chronister • May 21, 2025
This sweet card uses the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape with the die to cut the flowers. I attached the tape to a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut it using the coordinating die. This made for a bunch of beautiful flowers to attach to the front and inside of the card. The greeting is from Year of Flowers. I added the beautiful little Iridescent Pearls to the centers of the flowers . The background is embossed with Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder. You will find all these products listed below along with Free Project Sheet.

Impressions Abloom Pop Up

By Debbie Chronister • May 7, 2025
No, I am not stuck on this set of dies, however, this idea came to me through an indirect route and I of course had to change it up and do it a little differently. The Thankful Garden Bundle or the Pretty Floral Bundle could be used for this idea. Actually any set of die cut flowers would work. I used an 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Basic White for my card base so the card opens at the top instead of the side to create a beautiful and fun easel fold
