Father's Day Petite Pocket

2013-05-17T06:33:54-07:00

The Petite Pocket Bigz Die is the perfect size to hold a standard gift card! And it's super easy to assemble...the embellishment on this fun Father's Day Gift Card Holder was more time-consuming than the actual envelope! I got a little carried away with layers here, but I liked the way it turned out ; ) Download Supply List & Step-by-Step Instructions.

Retiring products used are the Petite Pocket Bigz Die (which has sold out), Itty Bitty Bits Stamp Set, and the Color Spritzer Tool.

This is my card for this week's sketch challenge over at Chic Challenges. I decided to turn the sketch sideways and use the Needlepoint Border Embossing Folder to create subtle scalloped edges...this is easily one of my favorite embossing folders! The Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set and coordinating Elegant Butterfly Punch create beautiful butterflies with lots of dimension.

I also used several retiring items...Baha Breeze 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Tiny Tags Stamp Set and coordinating Jewelry Tag Punch. Retiring stamp sets are available until June 3rd, but accessories are only available while supplies last. Get them before they're gone!!

Bordering on Romance

2013-05-13T14:07:49-07:00

Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day! I made it back in town to enjoy dinner with my husband and all of the kids...so it was a good day : )

Today's card is another Quick & Easy Card for this month's class. It features two retiring stamp sets...Bordering on Romance and Curly Cute. All retiring stamps are available until June 3rd.

I found this beautiful card idea on Pinterest...it was CASE'd from Gayle Wheeler. I love the embossed lines and watercoloring. So simple, but very elegant!
