Flip It Card - July 4th

 Hey there Beauties! 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 Flip It 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 find "F" tutorials.

I used some paper scraps to complement each other and then added stars to decorate.

I hope you check out the tutorial.

Happy Friday!

Circle Scraps

 Good Morning! I hope your week is going well and thank you for visiting. 

Today's card features the use of using my scrap and circle punches and dies.

I took a little bit of time to lay out the varying size of circles into a pleasing configuration on the card front before I adhered them down. Once I glued them, I then added the sequins.

I hope you give this type of card design a try!

Using Paper Strips and die cuts

 

Hello and welcome to All Things Beautiful!

I am dove into my paper scraps today and pulled out some paper strips. 

I love how using paper strips and a panel die can make for an interesting patterned paper look and background for die cuts.

For this card I thought i would group the embellishments together in a collage fashion. Letting each element tough to help anchor each other. I also enjoy being able to use up some of my small cardstock scraps to make new embellishments. Here the flowers are made with white, cream, green and teal papers.

I hope you grab some of your patterned and cardstock paper scraps to create a beautiful card today!

Fun Fold - Corner Tuck 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 Corner Tuck Fun Fold card; you can find a tutorial for making this style card under my tutorial tab.

This is a variation on the Joy fold card. These fun fold cards are nice to add some variety to your card making.  I used colored pencils to color in my stamped image.

They also are an opportunity to use some of those smaller scraps in your paper stash.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and happy crafting!

Using Embossing folders and Layers - Hello

 

Good Morning! Happy Friday!

 I hope your week went well and your looking forward to a weekend of crafting time

I decided to make a card today using my 2025 goal of busting through my paper kits. This paper is from from an Echo Park kit and I used one of the embellishment cards as the focal point.

I decided to add some texture and interest by using an embossing folder on the plain white cardstock and then layering the variety of patterned papers. 

I had a few flowers left over from other projects and added them as embellishments to provide some balance..

I hope you an inspired to go through your paper kits and use this laying technique to create a card of your own.

Happy crafting!

Keeping it Simple - Bird house

 

Hey there friends! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

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

I am revisiting my Keeping it Simple layout with choosing a patterned paper for the background, some sort of large embellishment for the focal point and adding a sentiment to a corner. 

Although my embellishments aren't simple; the design is. I just love these birdhouse dies from Spellbinders. There are 4 styles. I added extra dimension by surrounding the bird and birdhouse with various floral die cuts from my stash.

Happy Crafting!

 Good Morning! I hope your week is going well.

Thank you for visiting. 

Today I made a Fun Flip card. If you'd like to see a  tutorial on the technique you can find one under my tutorial page.

For this card I used some charm dies by Karen Burniston for the wine and wine glass and the floral arrangement was made from small flower dies from Spellbinders.
