Happy birthday

Supplies used are :

Flourish Thinlet dies
Paper butterflies
Handmade Essentials (Sentiment)
Pearls,
Peacock feathers distress ink
Mowed lawn distress ink.
Close to my heart embossing folder.

This is a 5"x7" card.
After embossing the card front, I distressed it using Peacock feathers distress ink.
Then I ran my Flourish thinlet dies through my BigKick machine to cut them out to use them as my theme. I situated the flowers together and then used a little dot of glue to glue on the pearls.
Then I situated the leaf pattern and then added the butterflies.
For the sentiment, I layed a stencil on a piece of white cardstock, traced it out, then cut it out and distressed it with Mowed lawn distressed ink.
The sentiment is from Handmade Essentials clear stamps from scrapbooking.com. It is stamped on with black ink and is adhered on with double-sided circles.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

I love you

It took me a few days, but I finally got it done! I got a new die cut a few months ago and have been waiting until after the new year to use it for a Valentine's Day card, which worked out great for this week's freshly made sketches challenge.

Supplies used are :

Heart lace edge frame die cut

Flourish Thinlet Dies

Ribbon messages die cut

Roses embossing folder

Red heart gems

I cut a piece of my printed craft paper and adhered it to the underside behind the heart lace edge frame to make the die cut stand out. I also used burgundy ink around the edges of the banner and the roses background.

For the sentiment, I used my Essential Sayings clear stamps.

I'm trying to improve my Valentine cards, so I hope you like this one!

Happy Birthday

I have an older sister who was born on New Year's day, so I made this card for her.
I used a damask embossing folder on white cardstock paper for my background image and then I sponged on some purple eggplant ink on the edges to give it a little bit of a border.
For my main image, I used a flourish die with Hunter green cardstock paper for the leaf design. The flowers are from the Stampin Up Fabulous Florets stamp set. First I sponged on some Spring Pansy chalk ink from versa magic to color them and then used a little Eggplant ink to highlight them. After adhering everything to a white blank card, I added the pearls to my flowers.
The sentiment is from a Ribbon Messages Stamp & Cut set. I used Hunter green ink for the stamp before using it's matching die cut. Then I used a little bit of eggplant chalk ink from versa magic around the edges to highlight it. I adhered it to my card using double sided dots. And this completes my card.
I hope you've enjoyed your visit and will visit again. Thanks for stopping by.

Peace, Love, Joy

At first, I had a different idea for how I was going to make this card. However, after having it layed out in front of myself, it didn't quite look as good as I had pictured it in my head. So, after doing some more thinking, I came up with this...

My first thought was that I was going to use some pink glitter paper that has an adhesive backing on it. But it looked too flashy for my taste. So, I still used my Christmas embossing folder and I ran it through my BigKick machine. Then I took the adhesive off of the glitter paper, which is what you see here on my card. I decided to give it a dark plum purple border.

I decided to use my Stampin Up Flourish thinlits die with a medium green paper. The main part of the flower is from my Poinsettia Nesting Dies. The lighter purple on my poinsettia was actually cut out on white paper and then I sponged on a little bit of purple to make it look kind of antique-ish. The top of my poinsettia is a flower thinlit die from the Flourish thinlits die set.

The sentiment (Peace Love Joy) is from my Essential Sayings clear stamp set. The banner that this is stamped on is a thinlit die from Hero Arts Kelly's Flags Stamp & Cut Set.

I just love using my new Flourish thinlet die, along with the flower die that came with it.
I was at the Dollar store today and I saw these really cute snowman globe stickers and I thought, "Hey, those would look really cute on a card!!" So, I bought it and I started working on this card right away after I got home.
I just love everything about how this card turned out!! The snowflake embossing folder, the dies, and the itty bitty gems make everything just pop and catch the attention it deserves!! It's definitely an eye catcher! Or at least I think it is..
Thanks for stopping by.

Just a note...

It didn't quite turn out the way I had it pictured in my head.

Thinking of you

I thought I would make another card for this weeks FMS362 challenge.
The little green leaves that I used with the flourish thinlet die is from my new multi leaves thinlet dies that I received in the mail.
I chose red for a border. Then I used a scalloped circle die on the woodgrain background to give the white circle die a background. I used black ink for the sentiment, which is from my So Sorry stamp & Cut clear stamp set.
I hope you like my card. Thanks for stopping by to visit my blog.
