Mom's Day Continues

Hi Everyone.  I hope these give you ideas and inspiration.  They are fairly simple with no special flocking, ribbon, glitter, etc.  They are mostly layered die cuts with an occasional sparkle.  I think the paper is what makes them.  I love Papertrey Ink paper because it makes the best embossing.  I hope you enjoy.  This weekend I also got my first Spellbinders borders and medallion.  I fell in love.  I don't like all of the poking you have to do to get out the small cuts but they are so beautiful on elegant cards and with elegant paper.  I used the two borders from one set and the medallion.  I also Cuttlebugged the bird with my Paisley cartridge (actually it could have been a Sizzix cartridge, I forget).  I hope you like it.  I do.  Have a blessed day.

Stamped Christmas Card

Hello Everyone.

Here is one of my favorite Christmas cards.  It is fairly simple but I just loved the message.  The stamp is from Papertreyink.com.  I cut the gold frame and red frame using Winter Woodland I think.  I embossed the gold paper with dots and the red paper with my music embossing folder.  I liked that the Papertreyink set had a star separate so I could make stars all around.  I didn't mean for the white border to be as wide as it was but took advantage of the space for a few more stamped images.  I love it for it's beauty and simplicity. 

More Inspirational Cards

The mats that I cut on this card are from Cricut Storybook.  The background paper is from the DCWV Sweet pack and I put pearls to make is look pretty.

Here is one of my favorite inspirational cards.  There is no Cricut involved but I used Verve stamps and a Cuttlebug embossing folder on the tan cardstock mat. Verve stamps are one of my favorites because the fonts are so pretty and they make really good impressions.
