Its Your Day

Happy Friday!! Here's a simple card to whip up when need a quick birthday card. Just grab any coordinating papers that are double sided and poof! This is GCD and its a matching solid color on the backsides so then you always have a color to match the prints. I separated the 2 patterns with a thin strip of paper I used a border punch on. Iused left over pieces to make a layer on inside with sentiment in and added another butterfly to the inside.

Supplies: GCD papers, Worldwin cardstock, MS butterfly punch, Hero Arts stamp set, Fiskars border punch, Sizzix tag die and May Arts ribbon.

Winter Scene

I made this card a while back but I have not had time to create today so will share this. We drove to Platteville yesterday for Ryan to check out where he'll be for the next 4-5 years and this scene was similar to what we saw all alone the way. Snowcovered scenery. I used watercolor pencils to get the soft images. And distressed the sides of the ovals with versa ink.

Supplies:Stampendous stamp set, Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder, Nestabilities oval dies, versa color ink, May Arts ribbon, pop dots.

Fab 5 Day Five

Welcome to out final day of our Fab 5. Be sure to leave a comment by midnight to get in on the drawing.
Our final product for this challenge was Coredinations. We carry the entire line and this is out of the Black Magic collection. It has the black color on the outside and tan on the inside so when you tear or sand...the inner color will shine through. I had Dawn cut me a sisters collage on our Pazzle diecutter and mounted it on the backside of the black coredinations. I ran some of the circles thru various Cuttlebug folders and then sanded and finished with spritzing them with Tattered Angels to add a glimmer to my page.

Supplies:Coredinations, Paper Loft paper, Nestabilities, Cuttlebug, Tattered Angels, sanding block, pop dot and antique brads.

Several of our projects will be on display in the store to get a closer look. Thanks for joining us this week and we hope you were truely inspired with all the ideas.
