Passages Man Card

This afternoon I used a 5 x 7 inch aqua cardstock and matching envelope as a starter to begin building a man's birthday card. (After taking the photos, I realize I got too carried away with the ink-distressing. Hope to remember that next time!)

I love the colors in the Close To My Heart Passages paper kit -- by using the aqua, I brought out the aqua in the patterned paper that I used on the card front. Aqua is his favorite color.

Before adhering the front completely, I sized a pullout section for the "Happy Birthday" sentiment. On the back of the pullout, I added a square of ivory cardstock so I have a place to write a short note to the special man who will celebrate his birthday later this week. I didn't adhere the top so that I can insert a gift card as a surprise.

The CTMH Mocha pearl accents are lucious. I started with the second darkest color in the packet and then added the darkest chocolate flavor--I mean color!

I used: Close To My Heart Passages papers; Celebrate the Everyday stamp set; Mocha Gems embellies; Brown Bag and Barn Red inks.

Thanks for stopping by & commenting! Have a GREAT new week!

Olivia Card

The colors in the Olivia paper packet are so rich--barn reds, golds, greens, and oranges! It makes me like Autumn just a little bit better than I usually do!

Clear cards are fun to make--it just takes a little bit of planning to place the paper sections so that the adhesive doesn't show, and so that the inside sentiment is a surprise when the card is opened.  Even the back of the card is pretty with the double-sided peachy-colored leaf paper pattern showing through the acrylic.

With the recent rains and wind this week, our leaves are falling fast. The deck will need the leaf blower's magic when everything dries. For now, it's so nice to have the leaf dust settled. My nose appreciates that.

Happy weekend, and thanks for stopping by and leaving some love! If you haven't used clear card bases AND the new CTMH papers, what are you waiting for?
