This is SO cute! I love the Z fold cards and really should do them more often!

Your creations are always such a pleasure, and this one is no exception! LOVE those papers (well, actually just about anything Cosmo Cricket), and love how you worked the two Labels dies to stack like that.

Thanks for passing along the CC donation info --that's so generous of her...makes me love their company even more (if that were possible -lol)!

I just used that set last night to make a "pick me up" for a friend who had surgery---it's just perfect for things like that. That paper is DIVINE!!! I still don't have it---YOU are the reason I am now Cosmo obsessed, I'll tell ya!!!! I do love their papers...my son and I already went to the Food bank on Friday---it's a good thing!! (boy, I'm chatty tonight~~)

What a fabulous card and I LOVE that paper -- darling teapot, too! Off to post my comment on Cosmo --

cute card, the paper is yummy as well. Cute use of the buttons. Jackie M

Oh man, I just love everything about this card! That paper is just delish! Thanks for the link to the Cosmo blog.

Your card is beautiful! Thank you for telling us about Cosmo Cricket.

Lovely card Debbie!!

This is beautiful! Love the fold, cherry paper, pretty buttons and bow!
Thanks for the link!

Gorgeous as always! I hope Cosmo Cricket makes it to 1000! I know I already did my thing there! :)

Love that Cosmo Cricket DP! and what a most worthy cause!

This is gorgeous Debbie!! Seriously amazing!

I just love this card!!

Oh, dear me, this is just exactly the look I love so much. And you always do it so well. (sigh) It's heavenly. The bit of shading and the blue air brushing are such beautiful touches.

What a great cause Cosmo Cricket is supporting. Makes me love them even more than I already do.

Hugs,
Lisa

Wow I love this card! Such fun! I just commented on the Cosmo Cricket site - I couldn't tell where they were at, but sure hope it's past 1000!

Love the card! Isn't it amazing how I can leave a comment at a blog and help feed someone in another country!! I already left a comment there, up to almost 700!

I love visiting with you, and getting the inspiration, most times I only change the colour and make my card, and I have always got a wow from my hubby! Thank you for sharing your talent! Thanks so much! I shall now leave a comment at CC!

I enjoy seeing your beautiful creations. Love this paper and card. :)

Beautiful card. Love the z fold, buttons, bow and how you used the mini part from the front cover. I just posted on Cosmo, thanks for pointing us in that direction.

love the paper pieced teapot Debbie! what great DP on this and a fun fold too!

cute, like the buttons, neat fold!

Wow! THis is fabulous! I love the paper, the buttons, how you paper pieced the teapot, and the fold. What a great card!

Gorgeous card, Debbie!! I love your Z-fold card. The buttons and bows really look so nice with your paper, and the teapot is perfect with the sentiment. I also use those little pieces of sample DP paper on the covers of designer paper, too. They're just too pretty to toss and so perfect for a lot of things.

Debbie, thanks so much for making us aware of Cosmo Cricket's donation--so generous and kind of them to do so!

LOVE this card--you certainly are selling me on this teapot! I don't even drink tea very often...LOL!

Amazing. Gorgeous. Perfect. LOVE the colors, the way you put it all together, you are just beyond belief! What an awesome card...you just do everything SOOOOO beautifully!!! :D

Too cute! Hey, I'm just seeing this post today, Sunday. Just want to let people know that the food drive comments are still being taken over on Cosmo Cricket...as of this morning (10 Pacific) there were 850 comments, so...room to grow still! Thanks for the link, Deb! ~Betsy

This card is beautiful! I too always hold onto every scrap from the cover of paper packs! Thanks for directing my the CC blog, what a wonderful thing for them to do!

Great card! I was happy to visit Cosmo Cricket's blog and leave a comment!

Hi, Debbie! I read your blog faithfully and am constantly amazed at your talent and creativity.

I have a question for you - and if you don't get a chance to answer, it's okay. How do you get such clear impressions from your acrylic stamps? Do you do something special before stamping? Is it the stamps? Is it the inks? Any feedback you could provide would be excellent and much appreciated.

Simply beautiful. I love that cherry paper. I looked and looked at the teapot cause I know my paper is much larger. Than I read that you used the cover sheet. What a fantastic idea. I donated to a local church food pantry as soon as Julie put the post up. Nice of you to spread the word.

love you blog. love all the cards. very creative.

What a pretty card. I love the whole concept. The paper piecing of the teapot, the miniature print and the Z fold and ribbon. Thanks for the inspiration.

So cheerful, so warm and loving I have a friend that will love this card.
Thanks Debbie!

I am blown away by your card! From the cheery paper to the beautiful bow and perfect button embellishments. I think you have also enabled me to get this stamp set!

Very creative! Love the patterns!!! Right into my idea book. :o)

Fabulous card Debbie! Thanks for the inspiration! Passed and commented on the Comso Cricket blog too.. CONGRATULATIONS on being on the CC DT - say I did congratulate you eons ago right? lol! Have a great day!

Thanks for letting us know about Cosmo Cricket's endeavor. I truly feel we all need to do what we can and count our blessings as well as share them.

How beautiful. . . the colors are great. Thanks for sharing.

This is so cute! I love the combo of paper and stamps! Great design as always! Your creations always bring a smile to my face!

cute, cute card! I left a comment too there on the july post for the donation. I also saw you were a designer there! YEAH!

Oh yes, I LOVE this card....and FINALLY have managed to purchase some of the Early Bird paper I have lusted for since you started using it! Eh Gah! Thanks so much for a great idea for a get well card. Have to get some in my stash quickly....and one in the mail!

In response to question number 29:

Mary, this is one of the best questions that I've gotten in a long time! I usually use a white rubber eraser to scuff my more solid acrylic stamps well. It leaves them looking dull on the stamping parts, but they seem to hold ink better after that. (I saw Mercy Kerin show this on her blog not long ago if you need a step-by-stop--her blog name is Lord Have Mercy, and it was within the last week or so.)

Also, I have to say that my absolute favorite inks to use with acrylics are Versamagic chalk inks. I don't work for Tsukineko, but I might as well, for as much as I like them! To be fair, the Palette inks, while the stamp with a splotchy look, almost always dry evenly given a few minutes. But the Versamagic inks look solid right away.

Hope this helps!

Debbie

Your artwork is always so creative & inspirational & enabling.....

Thanks, Debbie! I will definitely be trying the white eraser trick and I'll be digging out my VersaMagic Dew Drops! I really appreciate your taking the time to answer my question with such a kind and informed response. Blessings!

This is such a beautiful card - I love your style! I'm curious as to what the dimensions are on this card -I'd love to make something using this fold for an upcoming card I'm working on! I really appreciate your clear pictures and descriptions!

Thank you, Donelle! It's a normal A-2 sized card--5-1/2" x 4-1/4" folded. You start with a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" base, and score at both 2-1/8" and 4-1/4", then Z-fold. Hope this helps!

Debbie

really can't get any cuter!!!

Absolutely brilliant! I love this card.

Beautiful!! Hugs Nilla
