Christmas Card - Using Panel Dies

 Good Morning! I hope your week is going well and you are ready for the Holidays!

I needed a quick Christmas card so I pulled out some panel dies and some patterned scrap paper to create this card. 

The Sentiment is from Close to My Heart and the Die set is from Reverse Confetti.

I love simple cards like this one. It's unique and quick to make.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Wish Big - Truckin'

 Good Morning! I hope your week is going well.

Todays' card is a simple one and can be given anyone. I chose to use a birthday sentiment but you could always use a holiday one as well. 

This card uses a dies set from Spellbinders. I love cards where you can make multiples quickly and that's what I did with this one.

Happy Holidays!

Thanks for stopping by!

Fun Flip Card = Birthday Balloons

 Hello and welcome to All Things Beautiful!

Today 's card showcases a fun technique. This card features a Fun Flip card. 

For this card I used an old Sizzex die set (sorry, I think they are discontinued but you may be able to find a used set online).  I have made this style of card by hand in the past and the tutorial I used for that technique can be found under my tutorial tab.

I wrote my birthday wishes on the back of the center panel.

Thank you for visiting and Happy Crafting!

Masculine Card - Here's to You!

Hello friends! 

I made a simple layered card this week.  I am getting low on my "just because" or "thinking of you" type cards so I thought I would grab a stamp set I haven't used in a long time try my hand at making some masculine cards.

I hope you have a great day! Please leave any questions you have about this card in the comment section, 

Fall Surprise Pop- Up and Pull Out card

 Hey there friends! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

 I hope your day is going well and you are finding some time to be creative.

Today's card is a Surprise Pop- Up and Pull Out card; you can find a tutorial for making this style card under my tutorial tab. I list the tutorials in alphabetical order so scroll a bit to "S".

I enjoyed making this card! It was fun using up my paper cardstock scraps to cut out all the little fall elements. I used dies by Karen Burniston.

The patterned paper is by Echo Park, and the oval and rectangle white mats are by Gina K Designs. She has some really nice stitched die sets. 

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Happy Holidays and Happy Crafting!

Friendship is Coffee Card

  Good Morning! I hope you are well.

Thank you for visiting. 

I have been trying to use more of my 6 x 6 paper pads. Today I kept this card simple and used lots of layers.  

The background paper was cut using a deckled label die and then I used a label die to ground the sentiment and image. The coffee cup embellishment was cut using Gina K Design cardstock and a charm die from Karen Burniston. 

It was nice using up some of my older 6 x 6 paper pads but being able to keep the same design. All the cards look slightly different just by changing up the background paper. 

I hope you have a wonderful day and happy crafting!

Today I made a Pop-Up Book card. This is one of my favorite fun fold cards. If you'd like to see a  tutorial on the technique you can find one under my tutorial page.

I have been trying to use more of my Echo Park paper so I'll be making cards for the next few weeks using up some of my  kits. For this card, I used one of the Echo Park ephemera cards from the kit.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this card.

Tri-fold Window card - Hope

 

Hey there friends! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

 I hope your day is going well and you are finding some time to be creative.

Today's card is another Tri-fold window card. 

If you haven't tried this fun fold card yet and would like to ;you can find a tutorial for making this style card under my tutorial tab.

For today's card I used a stencil to apply a tone on tone background on the cardstock.  I then cut a few of the letters for the word Hope and glued them together for dimension and added a stamped sentiment to coordinate with it. 

I cut out a black window frame using to different sizes of square dies so that it would frame the flower stamped imaged; colored with colored pencils.

Happy Crafting!

Using your scraps - encouragement card

 Good Morning! Happy Friday! I hope your week is going well.

Thank you for stopping by. 

Today I have another card made using my scraps from an Echo Park kit

The striped background is a journaling card from the kits. I then took some small scraps and my punches and cut out some hearts, circle and banner. I added glossy accents to the hearts to give the embellishment some dimension and shine. The sentiment panel comes from the ephemera pack in the kit.

Happy Crafting!
