St. Patrick's Day - Gold

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day and welcome to All Things Beautiful!

Sometimes I think I have to make a card that has a lot of detail or moving parts to make it striking. 

This card proves me wrong!  I have been trying to use up my stash of left over papers in 2025. 

I also tend to make multiples of cards especially for the holidays and this year I wanted to make about 30 St. Patrick's Day cards. With the quantity in mind I thought I needed to find a way to make a nice looking card that I could assemble easily

Once I got down to some smaller scraps I tried to coordinate them like I did on the card above.

Instead of going with a green shamrock I thought using gold metallic paper would be a fun twist on the theme. What do you think?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Crafty Goal 2025 - Using my die sets

 

Hello and welcome to All Things Beautiful!

 Unfortunately, in life we all need a card that comforts others in time of need at one point or another. I needed a few of these this week and I thought this Spellbinders die set with the large ampersand would really work nicely to make a simple, understated, classic card.

For the embellishments in the center of the card I looked through my cardstock scraps to find some coordinating colors.

I was able to make a few of these and put them into my stash for when they are needed. 

By using several different background papers I created cards that were slightly different using the same embellishments

I hope you have a nice weekend! Happy crafting!

Shaped Card - Coffee Cup

 

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

Last week I shared with you a coffee gift card. I thought I would continue that theme but take it up a notch.

Today I have a shaker card for you. This one uses a shaped card die but you can make any shaker card using just a piece of plastic packaging and any shaped die you have. 

 If you'd like to see a video tutorial on this technique you can find one under my tutorial tab.

I believe this is a Honey Bee die set. I coordinated the color of the confetti with the patterned paper I used and added the sentiment on the front of the acetate window

This card took some time but I think it will be well worth the effort for a true coffee lover.

Happy Crafting!
