Keeping it Simple - Encouragement Card

 

Hello there friends! 

Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

 I hope your week has gone well and you are finding some time to be creative today.

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

I am using my keeping it simple formula again. Background paper, large embellishment in the center and a simple sentiment. 

I had this big balloon die I wanted to use and when I saw this hang in there sentiment from another stamp set I just had to pair them for a quick encouragement card. 

I am really trying to think outside the box this year when it comes to mixing and matching my papers, sentiments and dies. Tell me what you think of this combo.

Happy Crafting!

Keeping it Simple - Get Well

 

Hello Crafty friends! 

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

Today 's card focuses on the stamped image. 

I wanted this card to have a classic design so I left the image black and white. Also, the recipient could always color it if they wanted to. 

The only pop of color is from the butterfly embellishment. The background cardstock is dry embossed and the sentiment panel is layered with black cardstock. 

This card may be simple but it will be a nice 

reminder to the recipient that they are thought of and loved. 

Happy crafting!

Bay Window - Cherries

 Hey there friends! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

Happy Saturday!

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

Today's card is known as a Bay Window Fun Fold 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 "B".

This is a nice little display card I would include a little post-it nte to the recipient letting them know how to open/display it though since this is a card with an unusual fold.

I hope you give this fun fold a try and happy crafting!

Shaped Card - Coffee Cup

 

Hey There! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

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

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

I used a shape card die from Honey Bee stamps. It comes with the center embellishment wrap. I added the sentiment panel from a die shape I have in my stash.

This would be a great card just to let a friend know you are thinking of them. 

Maybe even throw in a gift card for a cup of coffee or special treat.

I hope you enjoyed my card post and happy crafting!

Keeping it simple - kite card

 

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

Sometimes I just need a card quick or I don't have much mojo for making a card with many moving parts. Today was one of those days.

I kept it simple with today's card by using a die cut as the focal point. This card design could be repeated over and over using the same formula of a embossed paper background either patterned paper or plain cardstock, a die cut as the focal point and a sentiment to the right or left side. 

For today's card I used varying sizes of die cut clouds and layered them; adding the inspire sentiment to coordinate with the embossed clouds. 

I hope you are inspired to try a card using an embossed background, an embellishment or die cut for the focal point and a small sentiment. 

Have a great weekend!

Happy crafting!

Clip Board Card -Follow Your Dreams

 

Hey there friends and Happy Friday ! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

Today's card is a Clip Board card.  It's a nice way of making a sentiment be front and center.

Use some fun patterned paper for the background or stamp your own pattern and then add this clipboard using what ever color cardstock you want. There are so many beautiful metal papers out there you could really mix things up using a variety of metallics. 

I hope you give it a try!
