Maja Design - All Occasion Door Card

I've designed an all occasion card (size 4x8) with a chipboard door on the front.

I chose Maja Design beautiful blues in their Denim and Friends collection.

The gorgeous door is Blue Fern Studios. 
I inked it with a dark navy called "Midnight Sky".

I thought that this card could represent a lot of different things.....

perhaps a housewarming, a new job or maybe just encouragement.

Such beautifully detailed butterflies by Reneabouquet's!

Look how wonderful different sentiments look, depending on the occasion!

The inside is blank which leaves plenty of room to write a special, personal note!

Thanks for looking and have a great week!

49 and Market All Occasion Tag

I made an all occasion tag with beautiful papers in the 49 and Market "Bold and Beautiful" collection!
I call this "all occasion" because I will be able to choose the sentiment.
I will show you what I mean later in this post.

I used the 49 and Market laser cut flowers, leaves & stamps from this collection.

Adhesive foam circles give a dimensional effect to the flower pieces.

I chose the new 49 and Market Wildflowers in Sky color.

LOVE them!

They are really a gray-blue which I love.

Since the print on the paper is gray-blue, I edge inked the tag in "Colonial Blue" color.

I also inked The Dusty Attic circle frame with it.  

BEAUTIFUL!

I added 49 and Market's Wishing Bubbles in Taffy color for more background interest.

Finally, I splattered Gesso colored with Lindy's mica "Whale Watch Blue".

And Reneabouquet's beautiful butterfly, as always, gives my project the finishing touch!

The back of the tag leaves plenty of room to write a personal note.

A sentiment can be placed inside The Dusty Attic Frame.

I computer printed several sentiments in a gray-blue color
and then punched them out using a 1" circle punch.
Each also has Scor-Tape cut in the same 1" circle, so they're ready to be adhered!

Here are several photos with some of the sentiments I made.

Thanks for visiting and please come again.

Have a great week!

Happy Birthday Rocky!

My very dear friend, Rocky, is celebrating her birthday this month. 

I recently bought several dies and was so anxious to use them!

So, I decided to make Rocky TWO Birthday Cards!
(Photo of the two cards together is at the very end of this post).

This 1st one is my favorite!

It was so much fun to create!

First I die cut a bunch of flora from my new Tim Holtz dies!

These were all cut using 140 lb. weight watercolor paper.

Then I painted them with watercolor paints!

I picked out colorful cardstock to make the card. 
I embossed the minty-aqua one;

then adhered it along the edges to create a pocket.
I added some matching tassel ribbon along the bottom of the pocket.
Here is the cute embossing up close!

The pocket I made became the 'vase' for the pretty flora!

Close ups of the flora that I watercolor painted.

And this is the inside.

=============================================================================

Although simple, the 2nd card contains a special note inside
 letting Rocky know what she means to me.

Tim Holtz's Mixed Media #5 dies are soooo pretty!
I used the two flower ones.
I adhered navy cardstock to the backside so that the flowers could be seen.

I added a little Flower Soft to the flower centers.

A script chipboard "happy" word was inked in a very dark blue called "Night Sky"
