White on bright

I have time to make cards, some time to post them, but no time for commentary.  So without further ado, here's a card I made awhile back -

Supplies; Paper - Royal velvet and white, Stamps - Friendship jar + Spring fillers, Tiny tags, Other - Tiny tags die, silk ribbon 1/4'', white embossing powder

Colourful tiny tags

I got the idea for the tag here.

PTI blog hop - floral

Is there a better theme than that?  I don't think so!

I started by stamping BB: textstyle in antique linen distress ink.  Then I diecut blooms and played around with placement.  The flowers were sponged with some barn door distress ink (I would have rather a pink tone but don't own any - hmmm... should remedy that ;)  Then I stamped the leaves, attached the flower heads and turned them up a bit, and added faux stitching. 

My first try with seam binding - I scrunched a little too much I think.  A button and Tiny tag to finish. 

Am SO very excited for this hop.  I can't wait to see everyone's creations!

Supplies; Stamps - BB: Textstyle, Turning a new leaf, Tiny tags, Postmarks (flourish on tag), Paper - kraft, cream, sweet blush, Other - Beautiful blooms #3 die, Tiny tags die, kraft seam binding (thank you Mary!!), sping moss button, distress inks, half pearls.

Things that make me happy

...in cardmaking, as opposed to real life, or else I'd have a much longer post on my hands!  (I published this once before but it got deleted while blogger was down.)

Happy things - blossoms, tiny tags, and using itty bitty little stamps (like the bee from Postmarks).

The image panel is rustic cream, with a bunch of stamps layered on it.  The blooms coloured in with copics.  They make me pretty happy too.  The tag is wrapped around with a silk ribbon I ripped in half.   

Supplies; Stamps - Cherry blossom (Flourishes), Tiny Tags, Song birds, Postmarks, Paper - Curio PP (Basic Grey), text (making memories), chocolate, rustic cream, Other - Tiny tags die, 1/8'' silk ribbon, copics, lace.

Picnic plaid

 I can't help it - every time I see gingham, I think picnic blanket, regardless of the colour.  So - a picnic plaid card today (ink Pear Tart by Memento), complete with butterflies;

The patterned paper is called Madelaine from Prima, and it's my most favourite paper yet! Such a fun colour palette.  I overstamped the border with a Label basics frame.

Supplies; Stamps - Gingham (Impression obsession), Label basics, Tiny tags, Paper - Fine linen, white, Madelaine PP, Other - Ocean tides felt, Hawaiian shores buttons, Love lives here die, white satin ribbon, 1/8'' silk ribbon.

Little TY parcels

A thank you card for one of my daughter's friends.   I used a glassine bag and adjusted the card size accordingly (it came out to be about 4.5 x 3.5'').

Love how the card peaks out.  And the glassine bag + baker's twine is just meant to be, in bakeries or otherwise.  ;) 

This is the inside.

Supplies; Stamps - Envelope pattern (Hero Arts), Tiny Treats, Paper - Graphic 45 PP, Spring rain, kraft, Other - Dark chocolate baker's twine, medium glassine bag, Tiny treats die.

All soft and white

I've been meaning to make a card like this for awhile - all soft and creams/whites.

The background mat is a gold shimmer cardstock, and it's impressed with In Bloom folder.  The doily was cut out of vellum.  The background stamp with roses is from Impression Obsession.   Lots of distress ink for the edges.

This is my first time using Tiny Tags - eek, so cute and fun! 

Supplies; Stamps; Background roses, Tiny Tags, Paper - vellum, cream, shimmer, Other; Parisian doily die, Tiny Tags die, In Bloom impression plate, Antique linen distress ink, cream satin ribbon, 1/8'' silk ribbon.
