Inspired Me

One day while deep in holiday card making I got an inspiration. I wanted to try some red envelopes and make some card that can hold gift cards, notes and even pictures. After playing around with some ideas this is what I came up with. To see how to create these see my old post. Envelope Card Tutorial Used Echo Park pp on white cs and 2 red envelopes, Added pop dots and red glitter paper, green glitter leaves, ribbon and the chipboard sentiment. Thanks for looking!

Happy Sunday! Hope all is well for you and your family. Recently, I was asked to make a bridal shower card. Yippee! I love weddings and creating for that special time of life. Plus, it was a nice break from all the Christmas cards I have been working on. :) I loved using this special pearlized paper I got earlier this year. Then, I placed it on a cream colored pearlized card stock. Also, used the pretty vellum paper on the outside and inside. I wish you could see how beautiful that floral vellum is. The ribbon was so pretty with this. It was the icing on the cake. Love how it all turned out. So, take a look! Love adding the floral vellum layer with the cream paper. The pic was better. Then, I added this extra card for the customer. I had started working on this card months ago and never put a sentiment on it. Just didn't know what to do. Then, as I was working on this other card, inspiration hit and this stamp was the perfect fit and style. I was so happy to finally c...

Happy December everyone! Can't believe it is almost Christmas. Amazing! Well, the beginning of the month brings my new card challenge over at Scrapping the Moments. This month's challenge is a special project I especially love doing for Christmas. I call it a "Mini Album Card." I love mini albums and decided to use my card "vision" to do something with my supplies. The challenge is to create one with your own theme, colors and designs. This is a fun little project you can make with your kids or a friend. Once it is personalized this is a terrific gift that someone would cherish! Ok, here is how I did mine. I used 1-12x12 cardstock, cut in half into 2-6x6 pieces. Then I folded each to make 2 cards. I decorated all the surfaces with patterned paper.  I love creating the pockets with the tags and the blank red squares for pics. I used pop dots on 3 sides to make the pocket Finally, I staples the middle to hold it together. Take a look! Used Echo P...

Today was such an exciting day. I got to go to Tori and Dean's InvenTORI shop to deliver the last batch of cards. These "Thank You" cards from our "Autumn Wishes" Collection turned out so pretty. They were a lot of work but totally worth it.  Hope all the cards sell well! But to our delighted surprise, when we arrived, there were camera crews and interviews taking place. Apparently, Tori was there doing some promotional interviews for their reality show, "Home Sweet Hollywood." At first, we were a little unsure of how to enter the shop because of all the lights, cameras and action! I didn't want to mess up the taping! But we got in there and were able to look around while all this was going on. We didn't get to see or meet Tori but it was fun to know she was there along with some other recognizable entertainment reporters. I was able to meet the store staff that we had been doing business with over these few weeks. Oh, I felt like we were...

Oh how I loved creating this card using Echo Park's Victoria Garden. I just love the whole collection. So soft and super feminine. I started this project over a month ago and wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. But then I thought this would be a beautiful gift for my dear friend that is expecting a baby soon. So with that in mind, I turned this card into a what I call a "mini album" card. Basically two card put together. Then I added my words and pictures. That was fun. I added the embellishments- hand cut flowers from the paper, lots of bling and frames. WOW! It turned out so pretty. I know she will love this gift and treasure it for years to come. Can't wait to mail if off to her. Plus I made a few extra cards. So what do y'all think? Don't you love these strips of pink crochet? So lovely! Thanks so much for visiting and wish my sweet friend a happy delivery.
