"Thinking of You" - Card & Envelope

 Once again, I've fallen in love creating with 3D layering die cuts!
These are the neatest, coolest, prettiest things!
I LOVE them.
They really make very unique one-of-a-kind beautiful cards.

A very special person in my life deserved a pretty card
in her favorite colors of purple & green,
which is always an outstanding choice.
The die cuts have several colors in them, 
which I was able to closely match with my solid cardstock! 


Check out these beautiful, luscious layers!
In person, the flowers look like they're 'growing' towards you.
SO unique!




I made a box envelope to hold the one inch thick card.
I followed my own tutorial found here:

I really love how everything turned out.

I used a die cut from the same collection as decoration.

The magnetic flap is decorated with flowers & bling along the edge.
A corner rounder punch was used.

Even the backside of the flap is decorated.


Thanks for coming by!


Have a wonderful and blessed day.

A "Just Because" Card

 I pulled out my left-over stash of
 Mintay's "Birdsong" collection.
I dressed it up as a "Just Because" card
for a dear, sweet friend of mine.

A few embellisments and it's all done!

Thanks for viewing!
Have a very blessed day,
Lisa

Always remember if you don't plan to donate or give away your paper stash,
hold on to it to make cards/tags/etc. for future use.
The papers are still pretty in my opinion.
