Using Forgotten Note Papers

Today I made a card using some lovely embossed note papers that I have had for years, way back before I started making my own cards. They are lovely papers, but I had forgotten I had them.

In addition to the embossed paper, I used a Martha Stewart Royal Butterfly Punch, a "Thank You" stamp, pink ink, some ribbon and liquid pearls to accent the butterflies:  It is hard to tell, but the flowers are actually dimensional.

When God Made You...

This little card was made with a sweet sentiment from TLC Creations. Also used were Martha Stewart Royal Butterfly Punch, EK Success Flowers and Leaves Punch (which was a new punch) and a light green ribbon. It was very simple to make (once I planned it all out in my head!).

Winter Weather

Today's card was so much fun because I used a new Sizzix die called Framelits Flip-Its. It was priced at $30 but thanks to a 60% off coupon at Michael's, I got it for $12.99!

I used a Stampin' Up mitten stamp, a Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch All over the Page punch and a Darice snowflake EF; the inside blank square is left without embellishment because that's where a small note can be added.

Here is the card; the left edge looks a bit wonky, but in reality, it's not.

Hello, I Love You

Today's card is made from some long unused elements that have been overlooked in my craft room for a long time.

The sentiment is from a Cricut Artfully Sent cartridge, Martha Stewart Floral Lace Punch  and a Stampin' Up Large Bird Punch.

You're Simply Amazing

Today's card is a cheery reminder that spring is just around the corner (for those living in the southern states!). I used Heartfelt Creations Delicate Asters and Spellbinders Scalloped Borders Two. The die is from Hobby Lobby, a new one--saw it there yesterday and couldn't resist it. The butterfly is from a Martha Stewart Royal Butterfly punch.

Blue and Pink Birthday

I made a simple card today using only two dies, both from Spellbinders:  Spiral Blossom One and Foliage. The roses were glittered, a double-looped bow was added and the sentiment was elevated with pop dots.

Here is the card:


My camera does not show glitter well, but this was my best try at capturing it:
