Favorite Moments Anniversary Pocket Card

Hello there!

To brighten up a dull, dreary Monday I'm sharing one of my favorite creations as of late... an anniversary card I made for our son and daughter-in-law.

As you've probably noticed I'm really big into lace and frills lately. Can't seem to get enough of them piled on my cards.
This pocket card features Prima's Georgia Blues collection, one of my tea-stained paper doilies, some gorgeous Prima flowers with gold beaded centers... and lace! For extra pizazz I added a beautiful rhinestone heart.
Hope you like it!

Loyalty Retro 40's Birthday Pocket Card

Hi there! Welcome!

For this Saturday I have another of my Authentique retro 40's pocket cards up to show you. It's a beautiful, breezy day here and I really should be outside in the sunshine, but yet here I am at the old Mac typing away.

I'm just drawn to these 40's designs... love the historical feel the images have. To enhance it, I've added blue and white flowers from Prima and I Am Roses. For more texture in the mix there's a wood US Flag.

The tag is tied with a deep blue wrinkled seam binding bow which compliments my silver Metallic Kraft die-cut, filigree corner, and Loyalty sentiment metal tag held together with Tim Holtz Idea-ology Mini Fasteners.
Hurray for the red, white and blue!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Pretty Yellow Birds Pocket Card

Hello dear friends and welcome!

It's Friday... are you looking ahead to a great weekend? More crafting time for sure.

I have a birthday pocket card up featuring another Mintay collection by Karola Witczak along with Prima's Georgia Blues, a Prima wood mat coated with white Liquitex gesso, torn tea-stained copy paper, and old dictionary paper.

I've added several layers of lace, appliqués, an I Am Roses blossom, a garment pin with pearl and crystal dangles, a vintage Girls' Paperie navy cameo, a paper doily, and one of my stacked lace embellishments topped with a vintage button. On the tag I've tied wrinkled ecru seam binding ribbon into a double bow. This card is pretty much loaded!

Altered Shabby Bottle

Hello again friends!

My project for today is something different. Our daughter showed us a bottle she bought at a garage sale and I immediately pictured it altered in lace and flowers. So I asked if I could decorate it for her. This is my result.

There are layers of fabric, laces, and Prima Georgia Blues papers... vintage doilies and lace, a garment pin with pearl dangles, I Am Roses flowers, appliqués, and a pearl/rhinestone embellishment to top it all off.
Just a little something out of the ordinary for me.

To The Happy Couple Pocket Card

Hello and welcome!

The week is moving ahead and today I want to show you a card I created using the Mintay 7th Heaven collection by Karola Witczak. 

I've used several layers some cut with MFT's Stitched Rectangles. I started this stack with a paper doily and lace trim... my go to items. I added a gorgeous pink glittery Prima rose with a gold beaded center and a small die-cut gold glitter heart. For my sentiment, I stamped "To the happy couple" from the MSE Anniversary Innies & Outies set. It's based on a scrap of gold glitter corrugate from Hobby Lobby.

I hope your day is going well and you have a great week.

Become a Nurse All Occasion Retro 40's Pocket Card

Greetings friends!

For a day that started out sunny and gorgeous, this Sunday has taken a downward turn. Inside it's warm and snug though, especially with our new flooring. It's been a looooong time coming, but we've finally committed to having something new underfoot. We're loving it too.

I have another Authentique retro 40's card up for you to check out. This one has some vintage crocheted ecru lace and old fabric scraps, a wood US flag, a couple bits of Tim Holtz ephemera, and some I Am Roses flowers and leaves.

I added in a scrap of old dictionary paper as well. I like to try matching a word or two to the theme of the card. Care and career were a perfect fit for my nurse image.
Have a wonderful finish to your weekend. Thanks for stopping by!

Lest We Forget Top Folding Card

Hello and welcome friends!

I've been using up the few papers I have left of Authentique's patriotic collections. Hopefully they will release some new ones in the future. These I purchased over in Gettysburg awhile back.

I like doing A2 cards for a simpler design and especially the top folding style. Just a few embellishments go a long way on these. For this card I added on a copper filigree corner piece and a metal copper sentiment "Remember".

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!
