Watercolor Corner Fold Card

Hello followers and friends!
Welcome back for another card creation.

I hope you enjoy this card and find inspiration in it. 
Please take some time to browse my other posts while leaving comments on this or any other. I love to hear your comments and always try to reply to every one.

Today's post features some watercolors and a fun fold called Corner fold. You can find the tutorial on how to make this fun fold under my tutorial tab here.

 For my 2018 crafting New Years resolution I decided to be more purposeful in making matching cards and envelopes. So far so good! I have been very pleased about how the coordinated sets look just by taking a little forethought in the design.


 I kept this design fairly simple to let the various stamps shine.

Today's post is a quick one. 

I created this 3D mini easel card and gift box at a paper crafting retreat  in a Stampin' Up demonstrator class over a year ago and I recently saw a Youtube tutorial how to make it so I thought I would take pictures of the one I made and link the tutorial here under my tutorial tab for you.
Enjoy!

Acetate Panel Prayer cards

Happy Thursday!
I am so glad you stopped by to see my latest post.
Today's card utilized acetate. I stamped the acetate using Staz-on ink and then added a scrap paper element and circle to complete.

To create the strip of patterned paper, I cut several strips from various patterned paper scraps, then cut strips of them and trimmed them to the size needed.

I took another strip of card stock and stitched down the center with my sewing machine.
finally i cut some scalloped and plain circles using my Cricut and layered them after stamping the various images.
I popped up the acetate using dimensional tape, hiding the tape under the strip of patterned paper.

Hope you enjoyed my post. See the products used below.

Daisy Tunnel Card

 Hello and welcome to All Things Beautiful!

Today's card uses a new to me fun fold technique. The tunnel card. I have the tutorial I used listed under my tutorial tab here
I chose to keep the card front soft in it's design because it is a sympathy card. 

The inside repeats the patterned paper on the card from with a white inked sentiment
A white panel could be adhered to the left or right of the inside card panel for more space for a handwritten message and I included a coordinating envelope as well.

Beachy Pocket Letter


Hey there friends! I'm a little late in posting this project. I made it last summer and am now just getting around to posting it. ooops! :-)
Anyhoo, I had so much fun making this project. I found some fun beach themed stickers at the Dollar tree and couldn't resist making this Pocket Letter for a friend.


The upper right pocket is an accordion fold pocket card, the middle left pocket is a mini notebook, the middle right is a small manilla folder filled with crafting goodies and the bottom right pocket houses another form of pocket flap to hold little cut outs and embellishments.

If you haven't visited Pocket Letter pals or made your own pocket letter and want to learn more you can find a tutorial on under my tutorial tab.

Have a wonderful day!
