Five Minutes Just For You Note Card

Hello,

This is another embossing folder that I bought from Ac Moore.  One time I went to Ac Moore and found the Darice embossing folders were 50% off.  For $1.99 a piece I bought all the design that they carried.  This week the embossing folder is on sale again.  This time $1.88 each.  No body can beat this price.  I most likely will check it out again to see if there are new designs. :)

This is not a truly 5 minutes card because the quilling flower took more than 5 minutes to make but because I had the flower already made a while ago this card was really a quick one.

Thanks for looking!

Hello,

I made this card for my friend yesterday.  Her sister passed away last week.  Sympathy card is my least favorite card to make.

Five Minutes Thank You Card

Hello Blogger Friends!

I bought this embossing folder from Ac Moore last year.  I just opened the package over the weekend to make this card.  The embossing folder itself is gorgeous so I didn't need to do much. 

I wanted a white ribbon but I didn't have any so I settled with purple.  I think any color would look just as good.

Thanks for stopping by!

Parchament Card

Hello,

I first saw the parchment card at Dr. Sonia's blog. I was very interested. So I gave it a try. Here is my result.

 I tried with cookie sheet that had the word "Parchment" on the box  but it didn't work. I tried with Vellum and that was my result.  This was the most difficult craft that  I tried.  I think it was because I don't like to hand emboss.  You can fine free pattern here.
