St. Patrick's Day - Gold Clover

 Hello friends! 

Thank you for stopping by to see my latest card post. 

This year's St. Patrick's Day card is someone clean and simple.  I chose to use a large oval die with patterned paper and cut out a few 4 leaf clovers in gold cardstock, add a sentiment and call it a day.

I hope you like the simple design.

I used a St. Patrick's Day 6x6 paper pad by Echo Park for the different backgrounds and just repeated the same layout and design.

Happy St. Patrick's Day and Happy crafting!

Using my Scraps - Thanks Tag

 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. I thought I would use some of the small pieces left over to create an interesting background. 

 I really wanted to have the tag be the star of the show so I kept this card simple and used lots of layers for texture and added interest. 

When I want to craft but don't have much mojo I try to make florals or other little embellishments out of my smaller cardstock scraps that way I have some embellishments ready to go when I am ready to out together a card.

I hope you enjoyed my card

Happy Crafting!

Thank you floral

 Good Morning! I hope your week is going well.

Thank you for visiting. 

Today's card is a simple one using a pattern paper background, lots of layers and some floral elements.

I used a wavy edge die to create the wave look. 

added a sentiment on a label die cut piece and then used some floral pieces I had in my stash.

Using my Scraps - Panel Sunshine Die

 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 making use of scraps and a panel die. This Sunshine panel die is from Jaded blossom. I ran it through a few times to cut up the pattern paper scraps I was using up. 

You could certainly run this die through a few different pieces of full 4.25 x 5.5 sheets pf patterned paper and get enough for several cards.

I them embossed a few clouds for added texture and stamped my sentiment.

Busting Your Stash - hearts & love

 Hey there friends! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

In the spirit of February being "love" month. I wanted to share one more card with you 

using a love theme. 

For this card I used some leftover paper strips and glued them to a piece of copy paper. Then cut out a panel using  a scalloped die.

I thought I would create a unique element so I cut out a heart from the stripped panel and replaced it with a cardstock heart. I then used the stripped heart to decorate the inside. I thought it might be cute to write my message around the heart. 

I think this card could be given all through the year not just at valentine's day. 

What do you think? Tell me below in the comments.

Valentine's Hugs

 

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope your doing well. 

Today's card can be used for Valentine's Day or for any thinking of you or well wishing card.

I cut our a heart using a heart metal die but you could draw and cut your own if you didn't have a metal die. I then used a scrapbook.com hugs die for the hands.

YI added some glossy accents for the nails and a few extra hearts to embellish along with the die cut sentiment.

I thought I would add a little texture but using a rectangle die from Karen Burniston with some etching around the edges since the background is plain kraft cardstock.

I hope you enjoyed my card!

Love you So - Valentine's card

 

Good Morning! I hope your week is going well.

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

I ran some pattern paper scraps along the back side of the panel to create various heart shapes and then cut out a full panel in white cardstock; filling in the hearts with the various pattern hearts.

.

I layered up a few of the glitter hearts to help them pup up a bit for dimension and added the love you so sentiment in the middle.

Happy crafting!
