K&Company - Flora & Fauna - Skinny Card & Tag

Couldn't help myself, naming the 3-1/2" x 7-1/4" card a "skinny card".  

So, let's start with the card.

I had a leftover piece from the collection, as I made so many cards with this paper.

I scored it down the middle and thought how it would make a nice card!

I adhered two of the pretty dimensional die cut butterflies to the front.

Inside the card, I cut and placed a piece from the Ledger paper pad.

This allows for writing a note.

The final creation in this collection line is a tag!

Measurements are about 4" x 7".

I had a leftover piece with the cherries on it and wanted to make something of it.

I dressed up the tag with pretty ribbons from Michael's tied into a bow through the punched tag hole.

I stenciled in Gold Crackle the Tim Holtz layering stencil "Flourish".

To the wooden pieces (word "SMILE" and the Kora Projects "Spring Border")

I sprayed them with Lindy's Gang Starburst Golden Sleigh Bells.

This is a true Christmas Gold color!  

Beautiful!

As you can see, the bottom of the tag is lined with a dainty cotton lace ribbon.

The back of the tag is another scrap piece I had leftover from the collection.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Pink Paislee - All Occasion Card

I'm really having a blast with card making!

AND best of all, I'm using my older stash!

Here is a card that I hope will someday become a special gift for someone.
I left room both at the top and bottom of the card to place a sentiment if I want to.

I recently made a Sympathy Card that you can see here.

While this very old Pink Paislee collection was spread out in front of me, 
another similar card was made.
The same Crimson cardstock was used as the base for this 4 x 5 card.

I cut strips of paper with deco-edge scissors in a large and small scallop shape.
Each edge was then inked.
They were adhered in layers to form a ruffled look.

I selected a butterfly from K&Company's collection that has the perfect colors in it.
A unique chipboard piece from Kora Projects was added on the side of the butterfly for extra interest.
I first sprayed it with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst color Alpine Ice Rose, 
but it was just TOO ORANGE. 
So, I heavily sprayed it with LSG's Starburst color Cotton Candy Pink.
The two colors combined produced a nice rosy pink color.
PERFECT!

Green microbeads were glued inside some of the berries of the chipboard.
This coordinates with the colors in the butterfly.

Another card for my card drawer, ready to be used in the future.
I've placed a piece of cream colored cardstock with it 
so a printed or written note can be put on the inside.

Thanks for coming by and hope you have a great day!

Sympathy Card (for Randy)

A very good friend of my husband's suffered the loss of his father recently.

I know in my heart that Joe would want Randy to know that he had heartfelt sympathies. 

So I made a 4 x 5 card from Joe & me and mailed today.

The inspiration for this design is from a sweet and talented lady, Marylou.

She's made several cards by layering torn strips.

However, instead of tearing the strips, I used my deco-edge scissors in a large & small Scalloped shape.

Although I mainly create layouts, I've really been enjoying making cards lately.

I've always wondered what in the world to do with the pages in some collections 
that are just different designs in strips.

Well, thanks to Marylou, for me, this is the answer!  

Make cards with them!
Even if you don't tear or deco-cut them, these multi-strip-design papers make nice cards!

I used solid cardstock as the base for the card.

To this I adhered each varying sized scalloped layer, so they formed a ruffled pattern.

Then a butterfly and leafy berry branch chipboard were added.

I simply inked the branch with Chalk Ink color Dark Brown.

Then adhered crackle dots where the berry shapes are.

A personal sentiment was computer printed and then die cut & adhered inside the card.
I know in my heart that Joe is very happy that I made Randy this card.

Thanks for your visit and have a great weekend!
