Blue Rose Birthday

 

MMTPT871 - Rosy Birthday

For my card, I pulled out this gorgeous blue rose paper that I only have scraps left. I am using every piece of this paper because I really love it. I cut down the pieces and created a herringbone background on a blue card stock. It is then layered on a white cardstock, and I added the blue and white bakers' twine.

The card is finished with this great sentiment from Stampin Up and a few scattered gems.

Welcome Pup

 

FS947 - In Memory of Polly - INSPIRATION I am forever thankful to have been friends with Polly. I think of her often and remember when she stamped off the image on this card and a few other dog images for my pet donation cards. For my card, I still do not own the image (it is on my wish list) I used this cute fun die cut from Brutus Monroe. I die cut it in the colors of the shop that I will be donating it and layered it up. The card is finished with a welcome sentiment and a few scattered hearts. Thank you for stopping by to check out my card today. I appreciate the lovely comments.

Stitched Butterfly

 

TLC1048 - Back Fold (5 Minute Card)

I was thrilled to see that TLC team featured one of the fun folds that I found. It really takes 5 minutes to get this fold and is great for a quick card with a bit of a fun fold. It is called Back Fold and can be found HERE.

For my card, I had this butterfly already stitched (from Spellbinders). I am trying to use up some DMC floss that is on the back of my craft chair and when I have a free moment, I stitch up a few things with it for some quick cards.

I die cut the ovals, created the fun fold and added the layers and the butterfly. The card was finished with the sentiment and a flower.

Pop Up Box Graduation

 

WT1043 - Pop-Up Box

I have wanted to make one of these cards for a very long time. For my card, I created the box layer using this tutorial: Pop-Up Box Card Tutorial - Splitcoaststampers.

The caps on the card are stenciled using black distress ink. I then die cut several balloons, the congratulations and the bird using dies from Spellbinders, Honey Bee Stamps, Memory Box, Jaded Blossom and Karen Burniston.

The stars are punched from gold and all of the pieces are added using acetate. Tied to the balloons is some red and white bakers twine. I made sure when I fold the bird in first that it closes so that the black card front is the only thing that shows. Truely this is a really fun card to make. On the back I added a white card stock for the user to add a personal message.
