Sweet Sentiments Easter Card

Well, Graphic 45 has done it again with another gorgeous paper collection...Sweet Sentiments. With all the cold weather I thought working on something with a Spring theme would be nice.

Vintage Lady

I have been on a card making roll lately. This is made with free printables I found online. The base is my favorite kraft cardstock with textured black paper for the mat. Flowers are made using Spellbinders dies with a sequin added in the center....like these flowers as I can mail this card with no additional postage required.

File Folder Mini

 Love these little mini's so decided it was time to try one. It was a bit of a challenge but with the help of a freind I finally got one together....and I must add not without using several file folders before getting it right. But no problem them I had lots of extra material for tags and such. I used the 3 tab Kraft file folders from staples for the base and decorated it with Pink Paislee Hope Chest Collection.

My Love Valentine

Here's the first Valentine of many for this year. This creation is a combination of one on the Amazing Paper Grace Blog and one a friend on one of my groups had made....thanks Ben. 

The base and die cuts are aged parchment paper, Spellbinder Diamond Effects and Decorative Labels Eight for the background. Post card and clock are on a free printable sheet from Ephemera's Vintage Garden titled My Love.  Adorable little heart is made using ColorBok Glitter Paper from JoAnn's and Cherry Lynn heart die and the mini pearls are from Want 2 Scrap.....and of course everything is distressed with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink.

Hope you like it....thanks for stopping by.

Bird Tag Cards with Box

After making the bird card I was inspired to make this set of boxed cards for a friend.

Beautiful Bird Tag Card

Hope everyone had a wonder holiday season. Things are finally back to normal at our house, all decorations put away and I'm back in the craft room.

Made this card today for a friend...love the way it turned out. Used Kraft cardstock for the base, the black doily is cut from cardstock using a Cherry Lynn die. That wonderful tag is a freebie from Ephemera's Vintage Garden.... one of a set of six. The dream ticket is from Tim Holtz and the cardstock button from my stash tied with bakers twine. 

Now its time to work on Valentine's I've ordered a couple new Spellbinder Dies so as soon as they arrive I will get the finished cards posted.

Thanks again for stopping by.
