When you're tying bows and knots, there's nothing like a soft wide ribbon like the Cloud Cover 5/8" Textured Ribbon. This ties like a dream. To mail a card with this thick ribbon, I would likely lie it flat and add a flat faux knot to it. Takes a little of the bulk out. Check out this video by Diane Dimich, a demonstrator in the US on how to make a flat bow.
Spring has sprung? Are we there yet? Oh I do hope so....Today's card is from my bestie Tamara Bertram from Tamara's Paper Trail in Edmonton, AB with this stinkin' cute tulip card featuring the Sunshine & Tulips bundle. Keeping it simple, this card works for multiple occasions. Pair it with a stamp set like Banner Sayings with the Three Banner Punch. Love this!
I always look at the cards I create to find other ways to use the designs: on a tag, bag, treat holder, scrapbook page and more! This one would be so perfect for little name cards or tags for a Shower, Mother's Day, Birthday gifts. Lovely how these two sweet bugs - ladybug and bee - scream spring in an adorable way. The background is a repeated stamp in matching Old Olive ink on Basic White with Petal Pink. Enjoy!
Sneak Peek at one of the cards we're making March 31 for the Gears & Textures Avid Stampers Class. So much texture, right?!?! Love a stamp set that has a variety of images you can use to bring a collage together. As I work with a large number of Engineers in my day job, I feel I'll be using the Gears & Textures stamp set a lot for upcoming birthday cards in the department. In the Avid class, I'll be teaching you how to add the variety of layers with several inks to achieve this amazing look. There's still room and the class can be a kit to go so message me!
Do you like Fairs, Theme Parks and Ferris Wheels? This card featuring the Beach Boardwalk Suite Collection reminds me of my trip to California in 2012 with my daughter. Our one day on the beach included a walk along the Santa Monica Pier with its sights, sounds and beautiful view of the pacific ocean - in January! The label on this card is so on trend with the bundle, as a "ticket". Lots of fun uses for that. Enjoy!
