Sending Little Snippets of Joy Welcome Baby Card

Such a beautiful and fun card from my Silver Sister, Desirée Simpson with so much texture going on: a lovely embossed and sponged layer with small strips of coordinating patterned paper as a background. It has such a nice spring feel and I would use it as a welcome baby card for sure!

Dies that double as embossing folders

You'll take a "double-take" on this card when you realize it's not a die cut but an embossed layer using a die cut - what?!?! Yes, it can be done. Just adjust your die cutting machine sandwich as follows:

Basic Plate + Acryllic Plate #1 + Paper + Silicone Craft Sheet + Acryllic Plate #2

I usually cut up into the Silicone Craft Sheet to get that embossed over a cut look. Then I trimmed the paper down to the stitched edges.

Then I added the die cut tulip flower shapes in Misty Moonlight. Another great way to use a die!

A take on Nature's Symphony

Sharing a card from my friend and Silver Sister Lisa Henderson from our group swap. This one feature's the Nature's Symphony Bundle which is in our January to April Mini catalogue. A gorgeous large leaf stamp with coordinating dies and this lovely greeting with a fun fold opening to boot! Thanks, Lisa!

Valentine's Treat Holders for Sorority

I had some fun this week making sweet valentine's treat holders. These hold 3 of the thin rectangular Merci chocolates and a gift card. There was a special reason for that: in my Sorority we exchange $25 gift cards at our first meeting in February - sort of a valentine's themed exchange. Not specifically with our secret sister for the year but instead we pass them around the circle as we read a "left-right" game or story and when the story is over, you keep the gift card in your hand. Everyone usually participates but it's optional. I thought these would be perfect to hold our gift cards so no one will keep track of which ones are where!

Here's where I got the left-right story for this year:.

Spectacular Purple Caterpillar

Ever seen a purple caterpillar? I suppose they come in all sorts of colours and no exception with this stinkin' cute patterned paper: Cute as a Bug! I think my grandson will love this one as purple is his favourite colour these days. Today's card allowed me to use both a large print pattern with lots of white space around and a smaller print one with the flowers all o the same card. To coordinate with the caterpillar, I stamped the words in Gorgeous Grape. Turned out spectacularly!
