Another retirement card....

This is a retirement card I made for our pastor. It is an easel type card. I used the Spellbinders Nestabilities for the book...finally. I bought this set over a year a go and this is the first time i used it! Now, I can think of a lot of book cards to make! The papers are from my scrap bin. I did use a brown coordinations embossed with the Cuttlebug Fleur d'Lis folder I used some odds and ends to add a little personality...pocket watch for retirement, dove and cross to represent our church, printed ribbon, finally the butterflies...Pastor Tom had a beautiful carved butterfly cross in his office & he often referred to in in his sermons, so....I also thought the butterfly was symbolic of his "flying away" to start this new chapter in his life. Anyhow...I really like how it turned out.

Another Inchies+ Project...

I still have a few sets of inchies from a swap....here is another project using them. I used the set of inchies to make a set of cards for a hostess gift. I just added a double punched strip of white cardstock threaded with coordinating ribbon...and there you go...hostess gift!

Sweet Treat for Easter

I made these littel treat bags for my book group & a few friends. I was in a time crunch so I used premade bags...I know, I could have made cute bags on my Cricut. Anyhow, I then made the tags using the Dahlia nestabilities and a few odds and ends. I layered the dahlia cuts, inked the edges, grunged the stickers, stamped a tag, added a flower and, of course, stickled. I put a few Easter treats in the bag. Cute for being in a hurry.

Double Delight

This is one of my favorite folded cards...a double pocket. It is perfect for gift cards and a little something. In this case I added a book mark and a package of seeds...came from the sentiment, "Friends are flowers that never fade."

Inchies+ Swap Fun

Our newest swap on Paper Divas (Facebook Group) was Inchies +...I think everyone had a lot of fun doing this one... I know I did!
