Floral Doily Card

It's August, welcome to my favorite month! Though in Oregon we tend to get a little rain mid month in August, I still love this part of summer. Today I wanted to share with you this quick and simple card I made with an acrylic card base, a pretty die cut and a flower.

 

The acrylic base was already scalloped and it turns out that this floral doily punch works perfectly with it.  Simple, yet elegant.  A great card for any occasion or no occasion at all.

You Are A Star Card

Hey Everyone, sorry for being missing in action for a bit but I'm coming back from a much needed blogging vacation. But I'm back and have some great new projects to share with you this month. My latest project is a simple card that is quick, easy and versatile.

 

To make this card I used two pieces of patterned paper, stickers and 5 small laser cut stars.  I left the stars unfinished for this first take, I think they are nice just the way they are. And if you swap out the color of the paper for a blue or green, you'd have a nice simple masculine card.

Or you could add a little bling to the stars by adding stickles or glitter to them to make them little more feminine.  Either way it's a great simple card that could be used for a variety of occasions.

St. Patrick's Day Card

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Are you wearing green today so you don't get pinched?  I am!

 

Today I'm sharing this simple card I made using some festive St. Patrick's Day paper. 

 

 

I fussy cut the "lucky me" shamrock from a piece of patterned paper and attached it with a pop up glue spot that I made using the Best Glue Ever.

Thankful ZigZag Card

 

Hi everyone, sorry I've been missing in action, been busy working on DT projects and items to sell at an upcoming bazaar.  Today I'd like to share with you a card I made awhile back.  Since Thanksgiving is quickly approaching a Thankful card seems appropriate.

 

 

To make the zigzag fold card I scored it in thirds first then trimmed the diagonals.  I punched the border using a Martha Stewart border  punch and attached to the back side.  Other than the cardstock all product used is Bella Blvd.

Sweet As Jam Card

Here's a card I made recently.  I was never a big fan of all the mason jars out there but I tried to embrace them here.  It's a fun card for someone that loves to can or enjoys making jam.

 

 

I fussy cut the jars from the patterned paper and covered them with Liquid Glass below the lid.  When they were dry I tied some embroidery floss around the lids.  The paper I used is from a older 6 x 6 pa from Jillibean Soup called Coconut Lime Soup.

Black With Two September Challenge

Wow, I can't believe it is September already!  This year is just flying by.  With a new month brings a new challenge on the Black With Two blog.  I had a lot of fun with this months color pallet and hope you do too.

 

Here's September's Pallet - Brights Special

 

 

It's a lovely pallet with so many color combinations.

 

Here's my take on the challenge

 

 

I used my Cricut to cut the circle and built off of that. American Crafts Thickers were used for the title. 

 

 

Here's a close up of the flowers.

 

And a bonus this month, I also created a card for the challenge.

 

 

For the card I trimmed strips of paper and punched with the swiss cheese punch available from EK Success. 

 

Would love to have you come play along at Black With Two, there are two prizes up for grabs each month.  One for layouts and one for cards.  Plus it's fun!  Can't wait to see what you create.

Acrylic Anniversary Card

My husband and I recently celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary.  I usually wait until the last minute to make a card for him.  Such was the case this year. I'm really into acrylic right now and I've had these acrylic card bases from Close to my Heart for years.  So I've finally put them to use.

 

 

The card came with the scallop border, I ran the front of the card through my big shot with an embossing folder. 

 

I used my circle spellbinders dies to cut the ring and add a 7 sticker for the number of years we were celebrating. 

 

This card was so simple to make, and quick.

An Accountant's Valentine

I know it's a bit after Valentine's Day but with the chaos of family visiting and my daughter's birthday party this is my first chance to post this.  I wanted to make my husband a special valentine this year and since he is accounting I thought it'd be fun to make a card geared toward his specialty. 

 

It's a simple card, with a cardstock base and a couple layers of patterned paper from Bo Bunny's Love Letters line.  I used some Thickers to make the calculator keypad and replaced the bottom keys with I love you.  I attached the Thickers to a piece of cardstock first and then attached that to the card base.  Then I fussy cut a heart and attached with pop up adhesive over the 0.

 

 

On the inside a I printed a poem on vellum and layered it over some patterned paper.  I attached it to the card base with brads.
