Celebrate Shaker Card

Hello!  I just finished a fun shaker card that is perfect for many different occasions.  :)

Instructions:

1.  Use Spellbinders Shapeabilities Cascading Stars Die to cut out star pattern on a 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" white card stock panel.  

2.  Die cut a second star pattern cut on glitter paper.

3.  Adhere acetate to the back of the white panel, then adhere the glitter star pattern on top of the acetate.  

4.  Use either foam tape or die cut a foam layer to line the back of the white card stock panel to fill with sequins, glitter, etc.

5.  Adhere the star panel on a 5" x 7” card base.

6.  Embellish with white embossing powder on a black sentiment banner.

This is a fun card for Birthday, Graduation, Retirement, etc.  :)

You Are Awesome!

Hello again!  I made these bookmarks and they turned out so pretty, I think.  :)

I die cut layers of colored card stock for each of the Spellbinders Filigree Bookmark Tag dies.  I then adhered the layers, choose a word sentiment die, and embellished it with a butterfly.

Next I embellished the bookmark with a gem and ribbon to finish off my project.  This is a great gift idea for friends and family, or use for yourself.  (much prettier than a scrap of paper bookmark that I WAS using :) 

                                                                 Happy reading!

Candy Hearts

Hello!  It has been a while since I posted on my blog, but I never stop making cards.  I love making cards!  I find the hobby very therapeutic.  I also enjoy making cute cards that have the potential to brighten someone's day.  :)

I am in the Valentine's Day card making mode.  Here are a few cards I just made using mostly Lawn Fawn products.  First, I die cut  a rectangle panel out of patterned paper and adhered to an A2 card base.  Then I used the Lawn Fawn Candy Hearts die to cut out hearts of various pastel card stock. 

I am a little lazy so I just adhered red card stock strips on the back of each heart to highlight the sentiment in red instead of piecing each letter back into the heart.  Then I cut a strip of patterned paper and placed it along the bottom of the card. 

I die cut and stamped the cute little birds from the Lawn Fawn Love Letters stamp/die set and colored with copic markers.  I adhered the hearts in a playful pattern across the center of the card.  Then I stamped the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment from the Love Letters stamp set on a sentiment strip of card stock and adhered. 

Here area a couple more cards of a similar design.

                                                           Thank you for stopping by today!
