Elegant Kimono Card

I got this great card as a gift and I just LOVE it.  It is elegant and just what I love.  The base of the card is using a Shimmer White card  stock.  Embossed sections  also Shimmery White card stock are using the Asian embossing folder and also dots embossing folder popped and matted on gold card stock. The Washi paper is the perfect colors for me. The gold behind the card is a shimmer envelope.  Finished card size is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2". 

 The kimono has foam underneath for the puffy effect, popped with foam squares:

RAKs from Cute Stuff

It's always soooo nice to receive RAKs (Random Acts of Kindness) in the mail - a wonderful and happy package arrived and in it contained some really fun things from my friend Lianne who has a retail shop in Oahu called CUTE STUFF............you just gotta check her store out when you visit the island of Hawaii.  It is packed, and I mean packed with so much inspiration and happiness. When I opened the package, I felt like some of the store happiness (it's the Aloha spirit) had also arrived!!!! I'm always in awe of all her frequent Make and Takes.  Did I also mention she sells kits in her shop for the Make and Takes, too? I got 3 kits shown here which I will be happily work on along with a 3 sample 3d's........I know Lianne's detailed instructions are very clear to complete the project. Each kit also comes with template so future projects can be made. There's a small house, a box with an Angel and a box holding a pair of flip-flops..............more photos below:

This is the calendar 3D with a cute strawberry - LOVE the strawberry paper, too............yeek - gotta get that!!!! And there is a drawer that pulls out on the side, too.So cute. The kit I got is called Floating Angel box card (I'll post this later when I finish the kit).

 And, don't you just love this little house?  I absolutely LOVE the way the roof opens up  using twine and a button. The grass and eggs are simply adorable. The kit I received is called Dandelion Designs Little House - soooo absolutely  cute! My kit has a adorable dog that will be peeking out of the window (I will post it later).

 And, this box is also quite cute.........it's called a Mini Flip Flop Assembly

 Open it to reveal a pair of adorable flip flops...........OMG - just my size!!!!! so very cute!!!!
