Vintage Flower Cards

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. And those who are moms celebrated your special day yesterday. My family spent the morning at church, then they took me to my favorite Chinese restaurant and a movie, and finished off with a trip to the ice cream shop. It was a great day!

I have 3 cards for you today that were posted previously on the Want2Scrap blog. First is a wedding card that uses TCM's Sweet Silhouettes and Timeless Tags stamp sets. The papers are Authentique. I used various Want2Scrap products on this. More details on the W2S blog.

My next two cards use my TCM Stitched Sentiments set and my favorite Want2Scrap bling.

More detailed info on the Want2Scrap blog.

The NinaB Designs team will be bloghopping on Wednesday. I hope you can join us!

Cheery Cards

I have two cards for you today that were shared in the Want2Scrap blog yesterday. I did a little bit of "surgery" to make the bling fit my needs. :) My first card uses the Want2Scrap Beautiful Bling Endless Waves as the flight trails for the stamped bees. These swirls are just perfect for that.

I stamped and colored with Copics The Craft's Meow Celebrating You stamps. I mounted them with foam dots and added a double bow for more dimension to my card.

My second one is a bright cheery flower card that uses the Want2Scrap Classy Corners Bling. I removed the side swirls to fit on the corner of my card. What do you think? I will use the swirls on a later project. I just love how the bling add elegance to the card.

I die cut the bottom of the red paper with Spellbinders Classic Edges 2 and Classic Decorative Inserts 4. I stitched some pleated twill ribbon and layered the stamped flowers and leaves on top. I added rhinestones on the decorative border and butterfly using Want2Scrap 72-count Silver Rhinestones.The sentiments (from The Craft's Meow's Timeless Tags set) was heat embossed with white on the bottom right side of the aqua panel.

Have a great day!

The Craft's Meow Celebrating You

Elegant Congratulations

I have an elegant Congratulations card for you today that I shared on the Want2Scrap blog a few days ago. It's perfect for the upcoming Graduation season. It's also appropriate for a job promo, engagement, wedding, and any other event that gives us an occasion to celebrate!

I used the Want2Scrap Fancy Tags two Nestabling and Nestaboard as a focal point to highlight the stamped sentiment, which is from The Craft's Meow's Timeless Tags set.

The patterned paper was created using stamps from The Craft's Meow's Simply Delightful set. I accented the flower pattern with Copic markers. A wide silky black ribbon is all you need to finish the card.

  

Tomorrow is another NinaB Designs blog hop. I hope you will be able to join us. I've issued a great challenge to the team and I know you will love the inspiration and creativity they will share tomorrow! See you then!

EP Victorian Garden cards, part 2 (photo-heavy)

Here are some more cards using Echo Park's Victorian Garden collection. But before I go further, make sure you check out my blog contest giveaway HERE. The first one was for The Craft's Meow's recent release using the I've Got Your Number set. The frame is retiredy by Tattered Angels, which was a publication incentive gift. I swiped Memento Ink on the embossed frame to get that effect. The small text stickers are by Cosmo Cricket.

Here are some more simple cards using these beautiful papers.

I love that flourish.

I used The Craft's Meow's Just Sayin' set (sentiment) and Timeless Tags (scroll) on this card.

and some more...

The sentiment is from the retired Layers of Color set, Sent with Love.

This one uses LOC's Encouragement set.
