Beautiful Butterfly…

I love this Butterfly die cut I cut during crop night at The Cutting Garden http://www.thecuttinggarden.ca/  .  It is quite big but it makes such a beautiful card, it is definitely on my wish list!!  It is made by Cheery Lynn.

This is a quick post as it is getting late and work comes early!

A friend at work asked me to make a special birthday card for her friend and this is what I came up with.  I’m sure she will like it, she asked for something pretty and pink… In my eyes, that’s the perfect combination!!!  Check out the sparkley Bucklez I picked up from The Cutting Garden… can you believe they are only 6 for $2.00????  I need to pick up some more of these, they are so pretty!!

Have a great night!

Valentine Gift Bags….

One of my friends at work asked me to make three Valentine Gift Bags for her, one each for her daughters and one for her mother…

I went online to see if I could find some templates but unfortunately I can’t follow directions to save my life so I decided to just wing it again and make one out of one of my Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page punch sets….

I had a piece of scrap Valentine paper from last year and lined the front and back with it after I punched out a panel that measured 5″ x 10.25″ then I scored it to make the fold for the bottom.  It was very simple to make the side panels as well I just cut  and glued them on.

I added some bows and butterflies and made a computer generated sentiment.  I used my cricut to make the rolled flowers and added some liquid pearls as a finishing touch.

Not too bad, it only took me a couple of hours to make these up and I think they turned out pretty well!

Have a great night!

Alphabet Challenge…. Letter E…

I am late entering this challenge… my friends over in the Alphabet Challenge have already started the letter F but I was just too tired to post this last night…

Enjoy Today!  I love the colors used on this card.  I found the ribbon in the $1.oo bin at Michaels and I need to go hunting for it again, it is so pretty and looks so beautiful with pink.  Peeking out behind the flower and pin is a Memory Box Buckles die that I picked up at The Cutting Garden http://www.thecuttinggarden.ca/ .  These are so easy to use and add such a pretty element to creations.

I have been making pins for my cards, every chance I can get, they are so lovely and easy to make!  Thanks for all the prompting Sam!  ;)  Here’s a look at the whole card…

I twisted the ribbon and tucked it under the little flowers for a bit of a different touch.  This is a quick post as I have to get busy and may three Valentine gift bags for a co-worker and because I am taking Friday and Monday off of work, I need to have them done tonight!

Have a nice evening!
