Wedding/Bridal Shower Card

Yay!! We are in the 'ber' months. Yesterday I caught myself singing in a store "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere...". I stopped right there - a little embarrassed, I confess - when I noticed someone right behind me. Oops. But while I wait anxiously for Christmas - believe me I get more excited than my 9-year-old son - LOL, I go on creating other greeting cards for the special people in my life. I made the one I'm posting today for a sweet young lady's bridal shower. I saw the idea for 'His' and 'Hers' towels on Pinterest, then I put my own spin on it. Here it is.

Supplies used
Paper: Sky blue, light blue, white, brown cardstock, and wedding scrapbook paper.
Tools: Embossing/cutting machine, brick wall, and diamonds embossing folders, decorative label die, medium label punch, mini rectangle punch, 1/8 circle punch, 3D foam glue dots, crochet hook, embroidering thread, computer, and printer.
Embellishments: Doves and hearts stickers, towel bar, self stick silver pearls (used as "screws" on the towel bar), crochet edging on the towels, double layer label. I die cut two labels, then fussy cut them in the middle, where I used the blue label for my sticker. The decorative labels were used as a frame. 

 

If you don't crochet, it's ok because you can make the edge for the towels out of the paper too.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you are having a wonderfully blessed day.

Scrapbook Paper Birthday Card

One of the things I enjoy the most is the expression of joy people make when they receive a handmade card. The big smile combined with the sparkle in their eyes tell me they really like what they see. That is a tremendous motivation for me to keep making greeting cards. Is it for you too? What motivates you to do what you do? Do you surprise people with cards "just because"? Sometimes it doesn't take a long time, too much work, or even expensive material to make someone feel special, does it?  Here is a card I made that put a smile in my cousin's face.

Supplies Used
Paper: Black, white, black glittered cardstock, and scrapbook patterned paper.
Tools: Cutting/ embossing machine, happy birthday embossing folder (Cuttlebug), balloon punch, 1/8 in ribbons, bakers twine, small glitter numbers
Embellishment: handmade gift boxes, gift box stickers, balloons

The white embossed paper is glued to a black card (the picture doesn't show it very well - sorry).
Thank you for checking out my project. I hope you make one too. 

God bless you,
