Dream Pop Easel Card

Here's another fun card design using the Dream Pop paper packet, itty bitty sparkles, the Quick Cards Butterfly (stamp A1120), and the new Washi Tape (polka dots are so fun with the chevron papers!).

Photos don't begin to show the poppin' patterns of the stripes, dots, and chevrons in CTMH's new embossed cardstock papers -- just love those in this packet!

I turned this into a Mother's Day card--a hidden stamped sentiment the recipient sees when placing the card flat.

The Quick Cards Butterfly stamp says: "Love: as delicate as a butterfly's wings; as strong as the circle of life."

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my paper art and browsing my blog! Please leave a comment and bookmark my site for future eye candy!

Passages Easel Card

When I saw this 30 key chain, I knew it had to go on a card front for a very special young man celebrating this milestone. (It'll be hand-delivered, so I wasn't concerned about the chain in the mail process.) The brushed nickel and the colors of CTMH's Passages papers are great together. I love using distressing tools, and got a lot of distressing into this card, along with edges inked, for a guy-look.

I used all CTMH products--gotta love 'em!

The easel card tutorial I used is from Splitcoaststampers.com You'll find tons of ideas there if you click on Resources.

BTW, I'm anxious to play with the new WINGS items next. What are they, you ask? Click on the January "Inspirations" button on the right side of my blog. The colors and stamps are gorgeous!

Happy weekend! Ours started with a temperature of ZERO this morning. Where are my Cuddle Duds?! A high of 19 degrees will be a good warm-up! How many days until Spring?

Happy weekend!
