Oh So Pretty, Gift & Birthday Cards

  Hello everyone & welcome!

Leanne here, I have a Gift card and a Birthday card to share with you today.

The digital patterned papers are called Lavender with Mint, they are available from 
Meg's Garden Papercraft Etsy Store.

Just love this beautiful and feminine image. So I decided to use it to create a gift card.

Simply make:

Cut white cardstock to 14 x 10.5cm, fold in half to create card base.
Trim digital patterned paper to 6.3 x 10cm, ink the edges with distress ink: old paper, then adhere to card base. Add lace as shown.
Trim white cardstock to 5.5 x 8cm, ink, then adhere to patterned paper with 3D foam tape.
Cut out ephemera image from the cut & create sheet, ink then adhere as shown.
To finish gift card add self-adhesive pearls.

A Birthday card.

Simply make:

Cut white cardstock to 21 x 14.8cm, fold in half to create a card base.
Trim digital patterned paper to 10 x 14.2cm, ink edges with distress ink: milled lavender, then adhere to card base. Add lace and gold washi tape as shown.
Die-cut oval shape in white cardstock, ink then adhere to patterned paper.
Die-cut oval shape in green cardstock then adheres with 3D foam tape as shown.
Die-cut image in an oval shape, ink then adhere to green oval shape.

Next fussy cut image from the cut & create sheet, ink then fix in place as shown.

To finish add self-adhesive pearls.

Until next time.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
I hope you have a wonderful day & happy creating.
Leanne

A Walk in Nature Ephemera Folder

   Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy back with a fun new project share!
I'm using one of Meg's newest kits, and it's loaded with beautiful pieces.

My project features:

A Walk in Nature Papers,

and A Walk in Nature Cut & Create.

 I love to work with printable files!
 I usually let the product inspire the project.
I like to print everything out, and then fussy cut all the ephemera.
These kits are so loaded that I end up with lots of pages and pieces.

This leads me to today's project.
I have created a fun Ephemera Folder using the A Walk in Nature Collection.

Here's the front of it:

I began by chosing two of the journal pages that displayed the theme of the collection.

This will help me remember which kit it is.

I made my folder base from kraft cardstock.

I distressed all the edges of the journal pages,

and adhered one to the front of the folder,

and one to the back of the folder.

I added a piece of seam binding for a tie closure.

Below is a photo of the back side.
Aren't the papers fabulous?

Here's the folder when it's opened.

Isn't that a lovely display of ephemera?

I added kraft cardstock pockets to my folder.

The pockets were decorated with more paper from the collection.

Then I filled them with journals cards, photos,

and all the fussy cut bits.

I had so much fun making this folder!

I think it will be a great way to keep everything together.

I think I might start making them for each printable kit I work with.

It would be fun to see them all lined up on my shelf!

Meg's Garden Product Used:

A Walk in Nature Papers,

and A Walk in Nature Cut & Create.

 Hello Paper Artists

Here is my 2nd card using the Lavender with Mint digital paper collection

 - this one uses the Lavender papers

The other border from the same paper is used on this card & is centred on the front with lace overlapping it on the sides.  The bottom corner is embellished with paper roses, rosebuds & leaves with a lavender organza ribbon behind them.  The top corner has the same organza ribbon tied in a bow; a word art ticket is foam mounted & a small transparency butterfly added.  This card is also 6" sq.

The inside of the card has the same lace across the centre; a die-cut tag from the lavender paper with lavender organza ribbon is tucked behind the lace.

Hello Paper Artists

I have been busy posting the Design Team Ladies' projects with this collection & getting the Christmas in Burgundy with Cream collection tied up that I almost forgot to post my own 2 cards & Mini Album.

The digital paper collection is called Lavender with Mint.

This is my first card using the Mint papers.

The front of the card uses a border from 1 of the Mint papers. A die-cut & then a piece of lace is tucked under the border.  A die-cut tag from the same green cardstock has been made & it is embellished with paper roses, leaves, a ribbon & pearls.  A transparency butterfly & a foam mounted word tag are the final touches.

The inside of the card has a piece of the border cut to make a tuck spot.  A tag with a die-cut, pearl & ribbon is tucked in.

A simple card measuring 6" sq could be used for a variety of occasions
