Keep Calm and...

Hi everyone!  I am back from Phoenix from the Spellbinders DT retreat and it was amazing!  I have a couple of photos I can share here in a couple of days.  But first I have a card to share that was for a recent Paper Crafts call that wasn't picked up.  

I just love JustRite's set, Keep Calm.  The possibilities are really endless (can you say Pinterest?)!  I've done it before, but I love matching the saying with a Spellbinders die shape.  It just adds that much more to the card, don't you think?  This uses some papers from one of the fabulous My Mind's Eye Six by Six pads.  You can see the delicate stenciling I did through the die on the handle with glitter glue.  I love the soft touch that technique adds.  The cutie flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I should mention the oval Labels die shape in the background is a JustRite custom die made by Spellbinders.  It is specifically designed to match stamp sets from JustRite.  You can see all the custom JR dies here.  That's it for today, I am still unpacking and have project assignments to complete by the end of the month!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
