A Flower Thanks

Hello Hivers,

During teacher appreciation week last year, they asked that we give the teachers flowers.  Well, I made this wonderfully cute flower box.  I used all her favorite colors.

I found the tutorial on Pinterest for the flower box.

A Fun Fold Wedding and a Tag

Hello Hivers,

This is the card I made for one of my dearest friends daughter.  She got married yesterday and it was beautiful.

Since I designed her wedding invitation, I knew the wedding colors.  I have been sharing samples of wedding favors for a while now that I designed with this wedding in mind.

I only used one stamp set to create this Fun Fold Card.  The stamp set is called:  For the New Two.  I just love it.

I used Elegant Eggplant, Very Vanilla, Pool Party, and Brushed Silver card stock.  I stamped all the images using Blackberry Bliss ink.  I added a pop of color with the Pool Party Stampin' Write Marker, Basic Rhinestone Jewels, Bitty Butterfly, and the Elegant Butterfly punches.

Below is the matching Gift Tag I made using all the same supplies, just adding the Scalloped Tag Topper punch.

Teacher Appreciation

Hello Hivers,

 This is the card I designed for my daughters 3rd grade teacher (last year).  We gave her a week of gifts and this card was included with the first gift.  I used the Friendly Wishes stamp set for the sentiment and to decorate the inside of the card.  The Cherry On Top DSP Stack added all the wonderful colors that this card needed.

Watercolored? Birthday

Hello Hivers,

Okay, Okay.  I tried my hand at watercoloring.  Oh, boy.  I had to change up my technique because it was not working for me.  I love the colors on this card just not the coloring.  I think it is still a beautiful card, despite my error of trying to watercolor on NON watercolor paper.

I used the stamp sets:  Wetlands and Regarding Dahlias along with Gold Embossing Powder

Back to Black Purse

Hello Hivers,

I love making purses/bags to use when I'm giving gifts.  I viewed a video tutorial over at papercraftbutton.blogspot.com

(which, by the way, is where I seen the tutorial for the Long Grad Wallet I shared 2 weeks ago).

I used some Back to Black DSP (retired) and Basic Black card stock to create this purse.  I just love how it turned out.  You could easily substitute the DSP I used for the current Everyday Chic Designer Series Paper.

Sunshine Bag

Hello Hivers,

This bag was designed using a tutorial I found on Pinterest.  I added a little pocket on the outside that can hold a gift card or a small note card.  I wanted to do something different with the closure, and it took me a long time to decide on using these brads.  And wouldn't you know it, I'm still not satisfied in the way it turned out.  Sometimes things look different in my head.

Happy Butterfly

Hello Hivers,

These two cards were created with my favorite technique.  Sponging backgrounds.  I heat embossed the Swallowtail on the first card with Black and the other with Gold Embossing Powder.

The sentiment came from the Wetlands stamp set.  I named this post because of the colors (which I can't remember what I used).  These colors just make me think "Happy".
