Condolences

Hello, crafty friends; it is Washi Tape Wednesday. I have a card with a simple layout to share today.

I started with a piece of washi tape and added it to some white cardstock; I layered that onto some light blue cardstock for some edges.

I die-cut a butterfly and added some light glitter with micro-dot adhesive. I used a sentiment strip and finished the card with some gems. 


I popped the panel with foam tape to adhere it to the card base.

Supplies: White and blue cardstock, Was hi Tape, Memory Box - Rhone Butterfly Wings, Simon Says Stamp - Sentiment strips, gems.

Merry Christmas

Hello crafty friends, Merry Monday; I have a note card-sized card to share today. 

This is part of one of the cards I started last week but put aside because my plan was not working out. I looked at this little scene and felt it was enough for its own card with some gems and a sentiment strip.


I started with a piece of patterned paper, then die-cut a delicate pine frame from white cardstock. I layered the frame over the patterned paper with foam tape.

I added the sentiment strip and gems and the card was done.

Supplies: White cardstock, Designer Paper - Paper Rose, Memory Box - Delicate Pine Frame, Simon Says Stamp - Sentiment strip, gems.

No Peeking

Hello crafty friends, Merry Monday. I have an incredibly simple card to share today. 

I started two other cards before this one, but I seem to have fumble fingers today and made non-recoverable errors. So, it is a simple card.


I started with a piece of patterned paper, then added a second strip of coordinating paper. 

I added a square of black cardstock and used a sentiment panel from the same paper pad. I finished the card with small black sequins.

Supplies: White cardstock, Designer Paper - Echo Park, sequins.

Happy crafting,
