Congratulations!

Hello everyone!

Good morning! Wow, I have been making cards like crazy for an upcoming vendor fair. Here is one of my favorites!

Supplies: Spellbinders Peony, Rose Creations, Rose leaf, Decorative square die, embossing folder, pearl shimmer paper, 6″x 6″ 110# cream cardstock base, gold poster board, Distress Ink- picked raspberry, antique linen, vintage photo, peeled paint, mowed lawn, forest moss, faux pearls, vellum, congratulations stamp, staz-on timber brown ink, paper glue adhesive and hot glue, faux pearl and rhinestone embellishment.

Directions: Cut all the layers for your flower and leaves. (I used all the Rose Creations dies and two of the largest peony dies to make my flower bigger. I cut off the jagged edges of the peony petals to make them match the Rose Creations die better.) Spray pieces with water with a mini mister and ink with distress ink, shape petals, set aside to dry. Cut base and all matt layers, cut shimmer paper and emboss with chosen design. Layer your card, attach bow and adhere to card base. Glue your flower together with hot glue and add it to the top of all this beauty. Embellish bow with a gorgeous button. Double matt the inside. Done! 🙂

Have a creative day!

Eileen

Friendship Garden

Hi Everyone!

Here is a new favorite card I made this week, a friendship garden card. It’s a step card which makes it possible to add more details and depth than a regular flat 5 x7 or something. 🙂  Using a step card die from Cheery Lynn makes this step card a breeze to create! There is no more endless measuring and cutting and scoring as the die does it all for you. Of course I used botanical rose stamp and die from Heartfelt Creations, it’s my favorite flower die and stamp set. I love the little birdies that come with this set too! Supplies and directions are below! 🙂
