It's In The Cards!

 I had these beer bottle cap embellishments and have been trying to figure out how to use them.  I made the circle part from a ribbon stamp/die cut from Close to my Heart (and their cartridge Art Philosophy).  The background was made from an embossing folder and then painted lightly with gesso.  (The cards are also lightly painted with gesso).  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.

Always Time For You

I found these embellishments and this paper at my local scrapbooking store and thought they would make some fun cards.  They are not by the same company (I came across these separately, quite by accident).  I really like how they turned out.  The sentiment is a stamp from Stampin' Up.  The frame was made from the Cricut cartridge Art Philosophy from Close To My Heart.  I added a little lace, some vintage buttons and some stickles glitter.

Tim Holtz Bird Cage

These cards are made with the Tim Holtz bird cage die.  I cut the die shape out of light weight cardboard.  I used Tim Holtz distressing paint (by Ranger).  It gave it the more distressed look.   I added some flowers (from Michaels) and pearls and gems (also from Michaels).  The ticket embellishment is from Stampin' Up.  I just love it.  It is a stamp set and matching punch.  Super cute and easy!  The zipper ribbon trim on the bottom card is from Close To My Heart.  What an easy way to add a cute embellish!.  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Easter

Bunny Egg Shaped Card.

 

I was looking for a die cut that looked like a chocolate bunny and found one on the Cricut cartridge by Teresa Collins.  I downloaded it digitally (because I didn't want to wait).  It only had a few images on it but this was exactly what I was looking for. The egg card was cut using the Close To My Heart cartridge Art Philosophy.  The pictures below show the steps on how I created this little bunny.

I cut the bunny from Cricut cartridge.

I  painted the bunnies with Ranger Distress crackle paint.

Then I inked over them with Distress ink and added and black eye.
