Here's More...

Using the design from my previous post I made a dozen more cards! I changed the colors and themes, some are Christmas, fun and purple, brown, whatever, and cranked out a ton of cards yesterday.
This picture isn't all that great but there are fifteen cards here that I added to my basket! I can't wait to start sending some of these out. I already gave one to my husband for his birthday today. They fit pretty well in an envelope and won't need extra postage or anything.
Hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for so many things...too many to list!
Thanks for stopping by!

Simple Flowers.

Here are some tissue paper flowers that I made just playing around in my craft room. They were really simple and the stitched button in the center holds them together really well. There's also a piece of tape on the back to hold the thread in place while I stitched.
I love how this card turned out. Simple, fun and elegant. I ended up making a ton of them in just a short amount of time. By just changing the sentiment I added a bunch of new cards to my stash. The green patterned paper is from the Papertrey's newest release, Turning a New Leaf. I love all the papers in the set and can't wait to use more!
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello!

Hello! These are some happy colors on my card today. I don't remember who makes this patterned paper because I got a huge pack of it at a local discount store. And of course I tore the wrapper off right away to play with it!! Hehe.
For the focal flower image I tried my hand at faux watercoloring. This is a technique where you color your stamp with markers and spritz it with water before stamping on your paper. I made quite a few of these flowers before I got one that I liked.
I added a brad to the center, put some dimensionals on the back, and popped it onto my card front. I love the sparkle that the glitter letters add to this too. They have an eclectic feel with the different fonts but are pulled together because they are the same color.
This is just an all-around happy card and I hope you like it too. Let me know what you think! I would love to get some comments!

Little Card, Little Post

This is just a quick little 3x3 card that I whipped out while sitting at my craft table chatting with my husband.
I really love this patterned paper. I got a whole pack of different styles at a Tuesday Morning store for really cheap.

This is my first time trying faux suede. I love how it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by! AE
