Happy hello card

Hi everyone!  I had so much fun making today's card.  I combined some of my old loves, silk ribbon, flowers and Label shaped dies!  This time I used the Labels Seventeen and to get the white panel 1/8" smaller than the black I traced the inside of the die and hand trimmed it out.  To disguise any lopsided cuts, I lightly distressed the edges before gluing it down.

I also used the Valor embossing folder.  Spellbinders folders are unique in that they are double sided, yep it's like getting 2 for the price of 1!  My card uses side B, but both sides are pretty, here they are:

Oh and see the cute little butterflies?  I cut them out of patterned paper and added a tiny gem to the center.  This card makes me happy, I love the colors and all the pretty accents!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  Here's a close up picture.

You make me smile

Hi everyone!!  I have a fun card to share today.  Everyone has been making and blogging Christmas cards lately (myself included), but for some reason I'm just not ready for Christmas, so I used the cute Typewriter die and made a bright friendship card!  I had the adorable papers from Pink Paislee on my desk from my last card and fell in love with the bright pink/yellow flower piece.

To make the typewriter pop a bit, I sponged in some of the details with white ink and adhered a small piece of white cardstock behind the "keyboard" part.  It's so versatile, you could stamp any kind of sentiment on the typewriter's "paper".

Here is the die:

Amazing silhouette

Hi everyone!  I have a Silhouette card to share today.  It's funny, when I made this card I had it in mind with a Mother's Day sentiment, but then changed it last minute realizing it's November and you guys probably don't want to see a Mother's Day card!  LOL!  That just shows you how off my card making "calendar" is!

 I layered the silhouette dies with my Floral Ovals and Classic Oval dies.  I just love how everything is proportionally perfectly!  For the rose accents, I used my Bitty Blossoms dies which have been seriously neglected of late!

Sending Love

Hi everyone and happy Monday!  I have a card to share today using the brand new Ippity stamp set, All Things are Possible. Isn't this butterfly clever? I LOVE that the body is a ribbon that you can color to represent different occasions. I want to do a yellow ribbon for my Aunt for my next card.

The paper is from Pink Paislee, Butterfly Gardens (how perfect) and the gorgeous flower is Prima Trellis roses in Coral.  See the coral heart pin?  Well, it started out white and I colored it with a copic marker to match!  You can find them at Pizzaz APlenty.

 I love the butterfly wings, they are perfect for paper piecing and layering for dimension.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
