Summer Garden Tag

    Hello, friends!

It's Nancy back with another fun project to share with you!

This time I've made a pretty tag, using items from the

  Summer Garden Cut and Create Ephemera Papers.

The Summer Garden Collection is so pretty!

Here's my tag:

I began with a piece of green cardstock that measures 4 1/4" x 8 1/2".

I distressed the edges with a distressing tool

Then I went through the ephemera pages,

and fussy cut all the rose and pink pieces.

Then it was just a matter of playing and positioning them all.

Some bits were distressed with ink, or the distress tool, or both.

Some were adhered flat, and others were adhered with foam tape.

A couple of the corners were curled up and inked.

It all adds such lovely dimension to my tag.

To finish it all off, I added a few pink flower sequins,

and a pretty double looped sheer ribbon bow.

The strip in the photo below, that says:

"A LOVELY ROSE. ROMANCE."

is what inspired my tag.

I think it's a lovely assortment of bits!

Summer Garden Cards

  Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy here today!
I'm very happy to be sharing my first DT projects with you.

I have created two cards with the gorgeous Summer Garden Collection.
This collection includes:

Summer Garden Papers,

and the Summer Garden Cut and Create Ephemera Papers.

Combined they include more than 16 pages of creative fun!
The possibilities are endless! 

Here's my first card:

Isn't that a pretty combination? 

I used Page 3 of the Summer Garden Papers,

It comes with the gorgeous gazebo on it.

Then I fussy cut that fabulous bench and added it to my scene.

We all need this bench in our collection! 

It's one that I'll be using often.

I also fussy cut the "Love My Garden" and added it.

Both the bench and the sentiment are part of the 

Summer Garden Cut and Create Ephemera Papers. 

Of course I needed a sweet bird for my garden scene;
this one was fussy cut from one of the ephemera cards
I added him with a piece of foam tape.

Finally, I scattered just a few floral sequins on my card.
Isn't that gazebo fabulous? 

Okay, now onto my second card:

As soon as I saw this gorgeous gate,

I knew I had to make a gateo-fold card!

 This is a PNG file that is included in the Cut and Create Ephemera Papers.

I added it to Page 10 of the Summer Garden Papers before printing it out.

I made my gate-fold card base from brown cardstock,

and then cut the gate right down the center,

before adhering it to the card base.

Then I fussy cut the butterfly out, matted it,

and added it to the center of my gate.

One side of the butterfly is adhered in place,

while the other side has some repositionable adhesive.

It makes a wonderful closure!

I used more of the paper on the inside of the card.

I also added several of the Poppy images to the inside,

along with one of the pretty sentiments.

These are all found in the 

Summer Garden Cut and Create Ephemera Papers. 

Our garden is always FULL of poppies - just like this card!

They're one of my favorites! :o)
