Beautiful Day

 Last month I had gone to JoAnns store to see if they had anything new in stock and they were having a sale on card making things.  I saw this set of ephemera and thought it was so pretty so I picked it up, Wellll obviously I thought it was a nice pack before because when I came home and went to put it away I already had the set. So the next on my list to make a card for was my friend here in town so I decided I needed to make something with the set and this is the card I came up with.




  • American Crafts - Art Journaling Ephemera (Vellum flower and Vellum script)
  • P13 - Secret Garden Paper (behind flower)
  • Ribbon from Advent Calendar
  • Queen & Co. - Twinkle Goose bumps
  • Tim Holtz - Metallic sentiment sticker
As you may have noticed one of the Gems in the corner that was supposed to hide the glue I used to hold on the vellum fell off, luckily I did notice while putting it into the envelope for her and so it was on when giving it to her, I just didn't take new pictures.



Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and say hi,

Connie

Oh how I laughed out loud reading that you bought a pack of ephemera that you already have. I feel I can relate but this is really pretty ephemera and you made a beautiful card with it.

Well, you did a great job with the new euphemia package, or did you use the last one first? LOL

Your card would make a great sketch. I'm loving the placement of your elements.

That’s such a classic crafter moment! 😄 It’s so easy to fall in love with a set twice when it’s that pretty. Your friend is lucky to receive such a thoughtful, handmade card, especially with the beautiful ephemera set you’ve clearly loved enough to buy twice! I bet it turned out gorgeous—there’s something extra special about cards made with a personal touch.

Wishing you a fantastic weekend! I'd love for you to check out my new post: https://www.melodyjacob.com/2024/10/my-visit-to-hunterian-art-gallery-in.html

This is so pretty, I can believe you would grab it twice! Lol Love how it turned out. Purple is such a rich color.

Oh, yes... I think you can use two packs of these beautiful pieces! That gold vellum script makes a gorgeous background, and I would have thought the P13 paper was part of the set. It's ideal! An absolutely lovely card, Connie!
