For my project, I created a card that can be used for many different occasions.

My forgotten treasure that I used on my card are the paper flowers.

I have had those paper flowers since before Christmas last year.

I received them in a Secret Santa Christmas swap that I was in.

I started making my card by pasting my background paper onto the card.

I then took a complimenting patterned piece and pasted it on the bottom.

The pink with birds and pine cones is washi tape.

I then had a stamp that is a cardstock cut out that I pasted on.

I then applied my forgotten treasures - my flowers!

I added halfback pearls to my flowers to accent them.

Thank you for stopping by, the next stop is Jamie!

My project is an Easter card that I made for my boyfriend
I like to make him a card for every holiday!

I kept this card fairly simple, focusing on the fun orange heart background.

I used my Cricut and the Give a Hoot cartridge to cut the bunny out.

I adhered chicken stickers that oddly resemble peeps! :)

They are kind of in a line, marching on for Easter, to go along with the title sticker, "Easter Parade".

Baby Crib

I found a very cute set of baby stickers.

The sheet consisted of a crib, a mobile, and several other small accents.

I bought it with the thought to make a card with them.

This is what I came up with:

I based all my embellishments off of the colors in the crib sticker.

I picked a striped paper that had blues, greens, and yellows in it.

I cut two strips of it and glued them on either side of the card.

I then centered the crib at the bottom of the card,

placing the mobile sticker above it.

I used adhered plaid bows to the bumper of the crib.

I placed yellow pearl stars on top of the bows.

On the mobile, I adhered several pearl stars to make it more three-diminsional.

Cards such as this one are available in my Etsy shop

Fun Purse Cards

I have had some blank cards in the shape of purses that I bought a while back.

I have been wanting to use them to make some cute cards but

was having a hard time finding inspiration.

Then it struck me, these would be cute for something like a bridal shower or a wedding!

So I began creating!

The main part of each card is decorated with paper that has love and wedding sentiments.

One has a light pink polka dot top with pink rhinestone hearts and has pink heart ribbon running down the center.

One is hot pink with light pink lacey ribbon tied in a bow with clear rhinestones and a rhinestone heart.

One is teal with blue ribbon tied in a bow and clear rhinestones.

One has purple polka dots with light purple shimmery ribbon and a purple rhinestone.

The fifth one has green gingham with pretty green ribbon with green half back pearls.

These were easy and a lot of fun to make!

These and many more cards are available in my Etsy shop

Heart with a Mustache

I woke up this morning with a neat idea for a Valentine's card...

A heart with a mustache on it!

I came to realize that it probably had already been done, but I still wanted to go for it!

I knew the perfect mustache to use - the one from the "KISS This and That"

paper piecing set from Scraptastical Kreations.

http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com

I used black polka dot paper for the background. 

I then trimmed a border of red polka dot paper.

The heart I cut using my Cricut with the "Plantin SchoolBook" cartridge.

I drew the eyes with a black marker with silver accents.

I used a silver marker to add the accents to the mustache.

The mustache is actually adhered with 3D dots, so it sticks up from the card some. 

There is black ribbon with three red rhinestones.

Red glitter stickers for the letters "X" and "O".

This card and many more are available in my Etsy shop
