Vintage Style Hello Card

       

I love vintage and shabby chic style things.  And this card is an ode to that style.  The card base was cut with a file from the Silhouette store.  The flower is homemade.  The base and very top of the flower are made from a roll of cream mulberry spring roll paper.  The middle is a crocheted flower from Michaels.  The sentiment is a $1 stamp from Michaels.  The patterned paper is Daisy D’s.  The twine is by Tim Holtz.  TFL!

Happy Squeals

Happy New Year!! As always, I hope I will post more on my blog this year.  I am starting off with some projects I have done in the recent past.  I am going to try to post several times this week.  Wish me luck.  

This card was made with my Cricut Expression, Cricut Folk Art Festival Cartridge, cartridge, cardstock, ribbon, brad, Cat’s Eye Ink, bakers twine and a rubber stamp.  TFL!

THX-Elegant Edges

I got the inspiration for this card from the current issue of the CARDS magazine.  The card size is 5.5” square.  All the paper is from DCWV Glam Gal Stack.  I had some chipboard letters that I wanted to use, so I glued them down to the paper I liked and then used my Exacto knife to cut around the letters.  Then I put them on pop dots.  I made the rosette by using a 1.5” x 12” piece of cardstock and scored every 1/2”.  I used ribbon that I had on hand for the leaves.  The button in the middle is an antique button from a stash a friend gave me.  The doily is from a pack I got at Michaels.  All the borders on the front, back and in the middle are from the Cricut cartridge Elegant Edges. 

I am sure I left something out.  But, I got a tooth pulled yesterday!  Oh my word, did that hurt.  Not during, but afterward. And it still hurts something fierce!  I have tried to save this molar for 5 years with root canals, crowns, etc.  But, it just didn’t work.  And now I have a big old hole in my mouth.  It’s a bummer getting older….lol!

Anything Card

Hi Everyone!  today’s card is just a quicky.  It is a card that could be used for just about any occasion.  I like having a few of these on hand in my card stash for emergencies.  Then I can just rubber stamp or print a quick sentiment to go on the inside.

The card is close to an A4 size.  It is just a bit bigger.  The scallop shapes are nestabilities.  They are the largest 2 scallops in the regular scallop shapes.  The butterfly is a K&Co. Sticker.  The base is embossed with my cuttlebug and a quickutz folder.  The ribbon is Making Memories.  I just rippled it back and forth and used my hot glue gun to glue it down.   the brad is a find at the Target Dollar Spot.  Thanks for looking!
