Valentine's Candy Flowers and Cards

Flower Pot Gift Card Holder

We have all given (or at least received) a gift card.  They usally come with the store envelope.  Sometimes we by a card or wrap them with a gift.  I like to make gift card holders.  This one I made was from a stenicil set (for the pot).  I, then, took a flower stamp (Stampin' UP!) and stamp the image using different color markers (Stampin' UP! markers).  After glueing together and decorating, my flower pot gift card was done.  Finally, insert any standard gift card!

 

Hummingbird Flower Card

This card is simple to make, but turns out stunning. I made this one using  12x12 papers with images on them (the bird and flowers) and background dotted paper. Cutting the images you want to use with pointed craft scissors, will help get the perfect detail. Place glue dots on the back and adhere to your card.

Christmas Cards 2014

It was so fun to create this year's Christmas cards. No two were the same. I used Stampin' UP! Card stock and Graphic 45 paper to create the cards below. Putting the card stock through my Cuttlebug made the backgrounds pop. The middle two, I used an embossing folder then free hand glitter glued the the card on the embossed areas. It was a joy to make the cards as to give them away. Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

Happy Thanksgiving Memories

This year my son helped me make the punch flowers. As I cut them out, he picked which papers should go with what flowers. He also assembled the flowers, as I tied the "leaves" on. The result was a beautiful Thanksgiving Table and memories I will have forever!  Here's the result of our work:

Flower Cards using the Cuttlebug

My new favorite product is taking Papermania paper packs and making these cards. As you can see they all coordinate together in theme color packs with great designs. In this project, I used the Cuttlebug machine to cut the flowers, bee, and hummingbird as seen in the pictures. Using a dainty ribbon,I made the stem. Papermania also has matching ribbons which I used. So fun to match the paper!  My basic card stock is Sahara Sand and So Saffron from Stampin' UP! And a texture white card stock from American Crafts. Finally, I made the envelope (using the envelope punch scorer.  See picture) and emblished my precut with glitter glue.
