Birthday Wishes

Today's card is a Birthday card that I made for a crafty friend.  I tried to keep it clean and simple so I could hand it off to the mailman.  

I arranged some negative pieces from a dress design cut in card front I made with my Cricut Joy then popped on a die cut sentiment from Crafter's Companion on a Centura Pearl tent fold card base.  For some sparkle and to finish things off, I added Gold Fever Confetti from Studio Katia that I received yesterday.  

A Special Mother's Day

Mother's Day will be a little different this year as we are still in quarantine in NY.  I made this card especially for my mother so she would know how much I appreciate her.  I am choosing to stay home and stay safe to protect her.  Week 8 of quarantine!

For this fold back card, I wanted to showcase the Butterfly dies from Crafter's Companion's Nature's Garden Beautiful Butterfly collection.  

I layered the statement butterfly in Lavender Glitter cardstock, and Blue and Lilac pearl cardstock from the Crafter's Companion Vintage Lace Collection and added Hunkydory Purple Glitter Diamond Sparkles, then layered the butterfly on top of Vintage Lace patterned paper and used lilac pastel Centura Pearl for a border. 

I used a Diesire die to cut out the word Mom.

I added 3 Lavender glitter cardstock circles at the bottom in lieu of gems.

For the inside of the card,  I used a Crafter's Companion Butterfly Edgeable Die and layered on top of some WOW American Crafts Glitter paper.

I framed the sentiment with the Intricate Lace Frame die from the Beautiful Butterflies collection die cut from Lavender Glitter cardstock.

I used a mixture of stamps for the inside sentiment of my card from Altenew, Stampin' Up! and Crafter's Companion and stamped in Spectrum Noir Crushed Velvet Harmony Quick Dry ink.

I used another sheet of patterned paper from the Vintage Lace collection as the background.   

Saturday Night Crafters Card Challenge Triple Easel Card 4-18-2020

Hello all! I am back. While the world is on pause and I am trying to stay safe at home, I thought it would be a great time to restart my blog. 

I made this quick and easy Triple Easel Card during our Saturday Night Crafters Facebook Live event this week. 

I have been using my time at home in safe mode to organize my craftroom since it also doubles as my home office for the immediate future. Going through all of my supplies has been a fun adventure. I am discovering all my old supplies and trying to do something crafty everyday. 

Craig Laird Crafters Companion has a 50 Shades of Saturday challenge this week to make a card featuring the color purple. This was right up my alley since purple is one of my favorite colors. I spotlighted one of my favorite papers from the Crafter’s Companion Sara Signature Vintage Lace Paper pack. I inked the edges of the paper with Vintage Photo Distress Ink for an even more vintage look. I matted the card layers on Crafter’s Companion Kraft card using white layers.

I embellished the easel card with sentiments and images from Stampin’ Up!’s retired Apothecary Art and Great Friend stamp sets and embossed in Cosmic Shimmer Bright Gold embossing powder. I used Labels Collection Framelits to mat the stamped sentiments and embossed the gold butterfly from SU! Great Friend stamp set. I used the On Your Birthday stamp from Crafter’s Companion’s subscription box 11 and pearls from subscription box 23.
