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!

Steampunk Inspired

I have had this gorgeous steampunk clock scrapbook paper for awhile now.

I wasn't sure exactly what to do with it, or what to accent it with.

I recently got a pack of tags that had some in it with a little stopwatch on it.

I knew they would match perfectly!

I started looking through my scrapbooking supplies, gathering materials to match.

I came up with some lace like ribbon, washi tape with old clocks on it, tan flowers, half back pearls, and clock hand charms.

The first card I put a Happy Birthday sentiment on and put it for sale in my Etsy shop.

The last two cards I left blank and put them in my stash for cards to have when I need them to give.

They will either be happy birthday cards or thank you cards.

Cards such as these and more are available in my Etsy shop

Thanks for looking!

Grunge Green

Without having much St. Patrick's Day themed items in my craft stash,

I had to get creative.

This time I wanted to use some of my green paper flowers.

I choose a paper that I thought would make them pop and went from there!

Bright, striped grunge background of greens, blues, and browns.

Green, Blue, and tan flowers decorate most of the card.

A few chipboard arrows, circles, and squares decorate around the flowers.

There is a small rectangle that reads "for you".

I love how this card turned out with a grunge look,

but yet still very bright and fun!

This card and many more are available in my Etsy shop
