Thinking of You

This card is made with digital kits from 

Cottage Arts

For the flowers I used
Granny's Garden Page Pak

I printed them first on the Kraft card base then printed again several times

fussy cutting and attaching the flower heads multiple times to give dimension.

and for the sentiment I used

This is Life 5 Scrap Words 

Inside sentiment is stamped from Inkadinkado set

Belief

I have a friend who celebrates her Sobriety day each year.

I know, even after 25 years that this is a special time of

accomplishment for her.

This card is a celebration of that commitment

The paper was in a RAK I received so I'm not sure of the paper line.

Thinking of You

I got this great paper pack from K & Co by Brenda Walton called Oliva Rose.  I just love the papers and when I started making cards they just grew and grew.  Here's a few I've completed.

Part of the paper collection is a sheet of transpariences.  I love the look of this one.  The stamp is from Inkadinkado, Kathy Davis Flowers.

I added a couple of K & Co Handmade Gem Flowers to the centers of the ones I cut out from the paper.  I glued the tight to the edge and pop-dotted them on the inside edges to give them lift.

 Like the look the jagged swirls I added. 

Stamp is Heard from the Heart from Stampin Up

Butterfly is cut from the paper, Glossy Accented and edges sprinkled with fine black glitter.

Flowers cut from paper and pop-dotted up so that the mini tags can slide under them.

Butterfly Thoughts

I made this for the using Color Chef Challenge #41 Kraft, Black and Blue

Chipboard butterflies are from KC & Company, sentiment Inkadinkado

Mess Around Card

I saw this challenge on the Saturday Spotlight blog 'Doing the Mess Around'. Well that takes some thought, lol. I took a fabric swatch from one of the wallpaper books I have, pulled the threads around the outside which gave it a 'messy' appearance.

 

The accompanying wallpaper sample I cut flowers on the Cricut going down each layer 1/4", then I crumpled them and attached the bling in the middle (from a Costco set I got a few years back)

I added the outer rosette from a dazzle from Hot Off the Press (which was attached to the brown card stock). Rub on is from My Sentiments Exactly.  Ran the fabric through the Cuttlebug with the texture emboss folder.

Aperture

I've been seeing so many lovely cards with an aperture cut out that I wanted to try one again myself. I didn't like just the single fold so I added another paper to make a tri fold card. I cut a duplicate of the white flower from an extra bit of the floral paper and popped it up with large dots and put it on the front of the card in exactly the same spot it was on the tri fold of the card. I also used the Cuttlebug Texture embossing folder on the front of the card.

With my Spellbinders Nesties I cut, embossed and inked the oval and then added the faux stitiching. Stamp is fron Inkadinkado.

I just love this printed paper from Hot Off the Press's Floral Pak. I cut the right flap large enough so that it also covers the back of the card with the solid green.

All in all I'm happy with how it turned out.

It Was So Nice of You

Inside reads 'To be nice to me'

Bottom edge done with a scallop punch by Martha Stewart, bug stamp another from the new stamp set from Recollections. Verse is a rub on from MSE, paper DCWV

Everyday Card

I just got this scalloped die from Spellbinders. I love how it cuts but am having a little difficulty getting the embossing down pat in my Cuttlebug. Background white was embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. The paper under the oval has been stamped with a roller stamp from Stampin Up. The paper is some I got from Costco last year that's like a natural paper fiber. I love it and just wish I'd bought several packages.The card didn't seem large enough when I finished so I attached it to a framing of purple cardstock, so it's a little different but I like the look.
