Paper Bag Birthday Card


I have been seeing so many great cards made from paper bags so I decided to give it a try. I followed
the instructions in this tutorial...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNKZ2W6TQtU
I'm happy with the way it turned out and have started two more.


Inside features a quote on the left side and a pocket on the other holds
a stamped tag. Used Prima Fairy Rhymes paper collection, matching stamps,
embellishments and Tim Holtz Weathered Clock embossed using Stampendous
Aged Bronze.

Potted Tulips Card

Another card I made for my swapping group. The theme this time 
April showers bring may flowers. Since I'm not much into flowers this
was another challenge for me. In my stash I found this pretty PSX stamp
and got to work, I had seem one on Pinterest similar to this so that was my 
inspiration. Happy with the way it turned out hope my
partner will like it.
Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!!!!
