All Things Bright and Beautiful

Hello!  

I have a clean and simple card today for the ODBDSLC239. 

 This week was an inspiration challenge and I am actually a day late!  Oh well! 

  

This new Fancy Fritillary butterfly die is so beautiful!  I chose to keep it the main focus for this card to show all the wonderful details of the die.  The designer paper is from the Rustic Beauty Paper Collection.  The sentiment is from the new set called Belles Vignes.  I added a simple purple bow to complete the card.

Here are the ODBD products I used:

Inspired by Barbie!

Good morning!  

I am playing in the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast this morning as well as the Dirty Dozen Theme for May!  We used a Barbie Pinterest Board as our inspiration and THIS is the one that inspired me.   

I love the pretty roses in her dress!  

The gorgeous Shabby Rose Paper Collection reminds me of the dress and I used several different scraps to make my heart as well as the background.  The sentiment is from the new ODBD set called Spread Your Wings and the pretty die cut butterfly is the new ODBD Fancy Fritillary die!  

Here are all the ODBD products I used:

 

 

Thanks so much for looking and hope you have a great day!

An Easy DIY Wedding Invitation

 Here is an easy DIY invitation idea for weddings.  The gorgeous, quality papers and envelopes from PaperAndMore.com are the perfect papers and envies for this project!

I used the following paperandmore.com products:

A-7 Chocolate Brown Solid Envelope (5 1/4 x 7 1/4)

Brown Spring Bloom on classic White Solid 80# (8 1/2 x 11) 

Chocolate 100# Brown Solid Backing Card (5 x 7) 

White Canvas Card Stock 80# (8 1/2 x 11) 

 

I printed the invitation onto the White Canvas Card Stock 80# and cut it to fit inside the Chocolate Brown Solid Backing Card.  I used a small hole punch to punch through the invitation, using the holes on the backing card as a guide for hole placement.  (At the time I took this photo, I had not yet decided to have an envelope liner as seen in the top photo.)

I added the pretty ribbon and then decided I needed a liner in the A-7 Chocolate Brown Solid Envelope!  So I used the envelope as a guide to decide where to cut for the liner.  I also cut slight angles out of one end of the liner to match the envelope flap.  After getting this first one figured out and measured, it would be a breeze to then make mass quantities of this invitation. 

 

You can see how I just tucked the Brown Spring Bloom on Classic White Solid paper inside and added a couple of strips of adhesive to adhere it to the flap. Here is the finished project again:

Thank you for joining me for this quick and easy tutorial!  

Have a wonderful day!

Your Special Day

Hello!  

Here is a card that can be used for several special occasions.  Birthdays, Anniversaries, Weddings, etc. 

I used gorgeous papers from paperandmore.com

Solid Cotton Candy Pink Card Stock 65#

Solid Bright White Card Stock 80#

White Translucent Vellum Paper 29#

I used a stamp set from North Coast Creations called Floral Sentiments 6.  I colored the image with copic markers and cut the image and the mat out with Spellbinders A-2 dies.  The vellum layer is embossed with a die from the ODBD Flourished Star Pattern set.  It is hard to see in the photo but the pink layer under the vellum is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.  This paper takes embossing so beautifully!  I added a pretty seam binding bow to complete the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by! 
Have a wonderful day!

My first card features the sweet set called Spread Your Wings.  I love that there is a die set (Birds and Nest Dies) to match!  I colored the images with copics before cutting them out.  I created a little scene with Fancy Foliage dies, Clouds and Raindrops dies, Layered Lacy Squares dies and the Daisy Chain Background Die.  I added little touches of stickles to the little eggs and birds to complete the card.  Here is a look at the inside:

The sentiment is cut out with a Vintage Flourish Pattern die.

Here is my second card:

You know I had to do a shabby card, right?  :) 

The sentiment is from Belles Vignes and is cut out with a Pennant die.  I used lots of papers from the Shabby Rose Paper Collection.  The new gorgeous Fancy Fritillary Butterfly die is the focal point, along with the little flowers and leaves from the Birds and Nest die set.  The circle is cut with a Matting Circles die and layered over a Doily die cut.  I added a few Fancy Foliage die cuts and some pearls too.  Then I used a toothbrush dipped in white paint, scraping my nail across the brush bristles to get some splatters.
