Clip Board Card -Follow Your Dreams

 

Hey there friends and Happy Friday ! 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 Clip Board card.  It's a nice way of making a sentiment be front and center.

If your interested in trying this style of card, you can find a tutorial for making this style card under my tutorial tab.

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!

Happy crafting!

Embossing - Butterfly Thanks

 

Good Morning! Happy Friday! I hope your week has been well.

I thought I would pull out an embossing folder today and use an embellishment from an old project.

This butterfly was made using a Tim Holtz stamp set and a few different inks from Gina K Designs and some blending brushes to help the colors transition from one to the other.

I then cut out a few white panels and glued them together to give them dimension and a nice black simple thanks sentiment. I wanted the butterfly to really pop and I thought using a black sentiment on a white background would help it to stand out.

I just love all the texture of this card. What do you think?

Have a wonderful day and happy crafting!

Thank you for visiting. 

Today's card is a Bay Window fold card; you can find a tutorial for making this style of card under my tutorial tab. 

This is my first attempt at this style of fun fold. I think it's cute when it is assembled and stand up.

Using your scraps - rays of sunshine congrats

 

Good Morning! I hope your week is going well.

Thank you for visiting!

Today's card was made by is pursuing my 2025 goal of using up some 6 x 6 paper pads and scraps from my stash

For these scraps I set the strips on an angle to give it a sunshine ray look.

Then grabbed this pretty scalloped edged die and cut out the panel.

Each panel cut slightly different making each card unique. I then grabbed this filly flower die from Stampin Up. An oldy but a goody and placed a stamped sentiment banner on top to anchor the embellishment.

Thank you for visiting and Happy Crafting!

Slider Card - Bookmark Style

 

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

The card I made today is called a variation of a slider card. I used the Art impression die which I have had in my stash for a very long time. 

If your interested in making this style of card you can find a tutorial for making this style card under my tutorial tab.

I enjoy gifting interactive cards to others. It is so mice to receive snail mail these days but to make it an interactive or fun fold style card I think makes it even more special. 

The pull tab can even be used for a book mark by the recipient. 

Here are a few other variations I made using different papers.

Using Paper Strips - Happy Anniversary

 Hello and welcome to All Things Beautiful!

Quick and easy card for you today. I am determined to use up my stash of scraps in 2025. 

For this card, I added some scraps to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of cardstock in a diagonal fashion and then die cut the panel out of a fancy panel die. All that was left was to pick the embellishments I wanted on the front.

These flowers come from a Spellbinders die set from the Sealed collection. 

Add a sentiment banner and I was done. I created about 5 of these. 

 I should have enough anniversary cards for the year. ;-)

Happy a great day and happy crafting!
