Layered Card for Scrap-Mart

Did you know majority of this card is solid cardstock...there is just a bit of designer paper used around the base and one of the labels.  The rest is either embossed or stamped and colored, which really helped me achieve the look I was going for.  

All the stamps are from JustRite including the beautiful green and aqua fronds background that I colored in with markers.  I also finished the card off with a homemade charm of pearls. Would you expect anything else from me.

Last Minute Gift Idea

Are you needing a small little handmade gift for a teacher, hostess or friend? I have an easy gift that really doesn't take long at all to make but is so useful. A tissue box holder. You can pick up wooden tissue box covers at your local craft store for just a couple dollars and then the creative fun begins.

You can cover the box with just one sheet of designer paper...granted I used two but I just wanted the mixed up patterns and I love this collection for KaiserCraft  Then just add a few die cuts and and your done. Of course you can go more detailed if you want but I figured you didn't want to much going on as you needed to be able to get to the tissue.

I used the beautiful Blossom Branch die from Scrapping Cottage. I did ink up the center and some of the edges with a little distress ink and then cupped the flowers with my McGill paper tool to lift them up. Easy Peasy...glued them down with some strong glue and topped them off with "of course" pearls. I do love me some pearls, LOL.

Have a great rest of the week

Easel Love Card

Good Morning and I hope the start of your week is going great.  Today I wanted to share with you an easel card I made.  The collection is from KaiserCraft Miss Nelly and you know how much I love the colors in this set...happy, happy, happy. 

The front of the card is adorned with handmade flowers using Cheery Lynn Dies.  The petals were all spritzed with water, crushed and then left to dry.  Once layered they really are full and beautiful.
 

The interior of the card is much more simple...so of course it will close.  The liquid pearls help tie in to the pearl brads on the front. 

I always think easel cards are so pretty, but I especially liked created it in the circle shape...just little different. 

Have a great week and I'll see you Wednesday.

Hugs,

This Little Light of Mine

This 12 x 12 layout was created for the Soul Scrappers Challenge : Children's Song : This Little Light Of Mine.  I used the Lush Paper Line from My Minds Eye.  The main background page I altered by printing the words of the song in a child's font over the designer paper.  The stickpin was made by stamping the cross from a Verve stamp set and embossing in baby blue powder.  I then cut it out and attached it to a pin .  The scroll background is actually a Fleur de Lis die from Spellbinders wrapped around the cross.  Lastly I took two pearls and stuck them together to form the pearl drop bottom.  The bloomers ribbon is from Webster's and the chipboard circle is from Close To My Heart: On target and covered with designer paper.
