CAS Note Cards

Hello,

I love pattern papers and I  had accumulated so  much because I didn't want to let it go.  I know it is silly of me. I finally decided to use them.  I saw these cards here and I happened to have the same designer papers so I made these note cards.









Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend!

Thought and Prayer Flowers Vine

Good Morning Everyone,

I saw these cards at Split Coast Stamper and just love them. I added punched flowers and pearls to make it more 3 D because I love 3 D items and 3 D cards but I haven't made any 3D card lately.


Here is my favorite one.




I used shimmery card stock and it is so pretty outside the picture.  If you are looking for these shimmer card stocks, I got them from Joann Fabric.

I am going to link this to Make It Monday.

Have a wonderful day!

Crochet Hair Clips

Good Morning,

I can't believe myself that I am still crocheting! I will share the picture when I think I have enough of them. I saw these hair clips at Walmart and thought my crochet flowers would add a nice touch to them.



The flowers looked like two pieces but they were actually just one flower per clip.  I crocheted a second layer that way I didn't have to worry about the top flower will fall off.  I used Tacky glue to glue the flower and the pearl to the hair clip.  The Tacky glue needed time to dry but once it dried it hold the flower really good.


Thanks for looking.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Matchbox Dresser

Good Morning,
I saw this match box dresser on several blogs and had wanted to make one.  So finally here it is.


I used real mirror that I bought from Joann Fabric. This one is for my little neighbor up coming birthday.

Top view of the dresser


The flowers are combination of  die cut and rolled spiral.

Here is another one.


I love this soft color.  The pearls and the three small flowers were for covering up the ink spots. I thought it turn out nice.


For the stands I used two pieces of beads, one star and one  round.  I stacked them together using tacky glue.  Let it dried and glue the star to the dresser base.  If you have question let me know, I will take a better picture to show you.



Thanks again for stopping.

A Quick Valentine's Card

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

I have two cards and a quick tutoail to share today.  The first card is a quick Valentine's card using Tim Holt December calender embossing folder.







To make this card I cut a piece of chip board and attached to the back of the embossing folder like this.


I put a piece of card stock in the folder and ran it through the big shot to get this





With this technique I (you) can use this folder all year round. Cool right!


The second card wasn't mine.  My 3 1/2 years old daughter made this card for her friend. She made this card all by herself even the quilling.  She has two friends who are a bit older than her so she made two of these cards for them.



Thank you for stopping by.  Have a romantic Monday!
