Kay's 2024 Birthday Card

 Even though this collection looks like Spring and we've now entered the Fall season, I wanted to make Kay's birthday card with it because she loves pink.

I usually add mulberry flowers to all of my cards,

but I did something a little different this time.

I utilized the chipboard & laser cut elements in the collection instead!

They are so beautiful!

Of course, there's a shaker, 

as has been on all of my 2024 birthday card creations.

It's placed on top of a pretty die and filled with colorful flowers.

I always love ReneaBouquets products!

This beautiful pink hummingbird is no exception.

I added white & pink stickles to give it some glitz & glam!

I made a tiny 3" x 2" x 1/4" pocket;

then filled it with journaling cards that are corner punched in a scallop design.

Most are decorated with chipboard or a laser cut element.

Something different and cute!

These are the little cards that go into the pocket.

The backside sentiment is printed in pink on white cardstock using the font Montotype Corsiva.

Beautiful Rub-ons decorated it nicely!

Using the collection's chipboard, I decorated the larger 

of the two box-in-box envelopes that hold this card.

Thanks for dropping by!

Have a wonderfully blessed day,

Lisa

What a beautiful day ~ Maja Design Challenge

Hi everyone!  Maja Design's September 2016 Challenge with all of its gorgeous purple tones really sparked me into creation mode!  I designed a card and have entered it in this challenge!
If you don't already know, I'm a purple-holic - it's my most favorite color!  I certainly had a very relaxing, enjoyable time creating this card!  I have decided to keep it for myself, as a helpful reminder that each day is beautiful and to always see "flowers among the weeds" in every day life.

The Maja Design September 2016 Mood Board Challenge almost makes me drool - LOL!

Not only for the gorgeous colors, but I LOVE plaid...and those fresh fruits look so plump and yummy!

My very first goal was to select the right photo from my garden flowers! 

I settled on these lusciously perfect hyacinths that I photographed in March 2010. 

Maja Design's Enjoying Outdoors Tags & Journaling Cards page has
the cutest tags and a plaid card perfect for framing the photo! 

Using the bottom strip from some of the papers in this beautiful Enjoying Outdoors collection,

I was able to cut out all of the words used on this card!

I made some cross stitching on the front of the card and used the same embroidery threads for the tags. I die cut a precious little doily and also leaves from this beautiful Maja Design collection.  Wild Orchid Crafts flowers always enhance any creation!

Here is the front of the card:

The best sentiment of all is inside of the card.  Such a wonderful reminder....

"There are always flowers for those who want to see them". 

WOW!  How profound is that?!

For the inside of the card, I stenciled a floral design with white crackle texture paste and then added a dark lavender piece from the collection.  I did some straight stitching around its perimeter.  It was the perfect accent needed to help make the sentiment and flowers pop!

Thank you so much for visiting and have a great day!  Lisa : )
