Digital card kit

 Alicia McNamara gave away a digital kit a few months ago and I finally printed it out a couple weeks ago and made a card from it, I think the coloring looked a little better on the screen then how my computer printed it out but I think it still make a nice card. Another one I am hand delivering so I used my bigger pearls on it :)

• Alicia McNamara - Digital Download Cardmaking kit, background paper, butterfly and sentiment
• Recollection Pearls

as you can see I fussy cut the butterfly piece out and popped it up with foam tape.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by,

Sticker bouquet

 I am trying to use as many older items as I do newer ones in my cards, this is one of those older ones, these are stickers I bought from the dollar store many years ago.  I have gone to a couple of our stores around here and they just don't have good craft sections at them, I have read that some are good and others are not stocking craft stuff very much, so I need to visit more stores and see if I can find one that has a good craft section.

The card stock that I applied the sticker to and stamped the sentiment came out more yellow than the cream color it actually is, the close up picture below is more accurate. I fussy cut around the sticker,  The flowers in the corners and the strip on the center of the card are also stickers.

• Miss Elizabeth - Petite Stickers (image, strip and flowers in corners)
• XERE - Green scrapbook papers
• Chloes Creative cards - Sentiment stamp
• Spellbinders - Ribbon tag Trio die
• Ribbon

Seasonal birds

 This is a card we made together in our teams meeting. We first did the technique that was taking a stencil and sprays to fill it in, then we embossed our pieces and did the scoring to make the fold on the left side like a box, it folds flat to mail, and we write the sentiment on the back.

I stamped the bird and used that for my focal. I added some inking around the edges after die cutting the frame before taking the die out of the cardstock.  Adding a few pearls for embellishing. 

• Fun Stampers Journey - Starburst Stencil with sprays
• Paper Studio - Silkscreen embossing folder
• Stampin up - Seasonal Birds stamp set, colored w/markers
• Spellbinders - Decorative Labels One die w/ distressed ink Antique Linen
• Chloes Creative Cards - Sentiment stamp
