Babycakes Birthday Card and a New Twist on Washi!

Hi everyone!  I am so excited to share this with you!  I was making a card to show off our amazing Liquid Glass when I ran full speed into a wall.  Oooops.

BUT...I am happy to report that I not only overcame, I blew that wall into smithereens!!!  Oh, yeah!

I discovered a brand new way to use our Lagoon Houndstooth Washi Tape, which is, by the way, one of my FAVORITE new products this month!  :)



Here is the idea...wrap it around the new Slate Striped Twist Ties!


I just LOVE the new look and color it adds!  What about you?  Suddenly your Twist Ties can be any color washi you have!  :)  They still twist up nicely and hold their shape.


If you linked over from the Damask Divas Blog, then you read about how I used my liquid glass to make faux enamel dots.  They are still drying in this picture, and a bit "foggy" still...


...but here they are completely dry and clear!  LOVE!


Here is a list of the Close to My Heart products I used with links to my website.  Remember, the August Stamp of the Month is FREE this month with a $50 order!  Don't wait until August is over or it will be too late!

  1. That card is a party all by itself :) I love what you did with the liquid glass. Dots are the only liquid glass skill I have.

  5. Love the random dots on the dots (lol) - ads lots of interest! Been dating on this paper only because I have small use of baby paper, but I DO like all the other patterns and colours,

  6. Thought I'd let you know I linked through to this post on my blog today. ( http://becca-expressions.blogspot.com/2013/08/twisted-hello.html)

    I have a feeling there is going to be a run on twisty ties at local grocery stores everywhere!
