Hello everyone!
Thanks for stamping by. I have another project share to catch you up on. The top card grew out of the scrap panel I had. I used a big floral stamp by Mama Elephant to create a background. I added a vellum piece, embossing in gold using the same floral stamp. I trimmed it out and added some natural jute with small stickers to complete my sentiment (welcome baby). This turned out to be a very elegant card for a mother to be. The second card used various patterned papers, vellum and stickers. I also added balloons in the upper left for the elephant to hold that said "baby boy" but I could not find the photo to share (my apologies!). This card was for a cousin of mine and I had her invitation colors in mind when making the card (blues, greys, elephant). I like to add this type of extra personalization to a card. Makes for a special touch. When I can, I try to add in embossing to my cards. Tell me: Do you have a "signature" technique you like to include on your cards? Leave a comment below. Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by. I have quite a few projects to catch you up on. The first are Father's day cards I did this year. I am blessed to have my dad, grandfathers and father-in-law to share these cards with. These cards are mainly paper layering cards. When I want to challenge myself, I will put together cards using patterned paper. I really like mixing papers within a pack, as well as trying to incorporate paper from other packs. Tell me: Do you like to use patterned paper when you make cards? or do you make your own patterned paper? Leave a comment below. Products used:

Hello Everyone
Another project share. In addition to the Mother's day cards, I also had a few wedding cards to make for May. I kept these one layer, but of course, I had to add in some heat embossing. What also helped was that I put pattern papers to work! The papers are My Mind's Eye - Fancy that. I previously had a sheet of this from a card kit, but was able to find a full assorted pack from Paper Source a few months ago. I heat embossed in gold and thought I was done, but of course, I thought splatter would give it a little more interest. I trimmed the panels with a stitched rectangle die and one with a plain rectangle.
