 A Springtime Birthday! tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a0112790d45ed28a401901c640e80970b 2013-05-21T00:00:00-05:00 2013-05-21T00:00:00-05:00 The card below was designed by one of Divas' design team, Carryn. She made this into a birthday card but what a perfect combo for any occasion. The grass and butterfly are made with a die cut and a punch. The flowers are from the Mason Jar Accessories #1 set; the watering can is from the Seed Packet accessories set and of course, the Happy Birthday sentiment is from Everyday Sentiments. Red gingham ribbon, twine, glitter and Crystal Lacquer add lots of fun embellishment to the card. Two Paper Divas - Melissa and Gayla Follow Two Paper Divas!

 Graduation is Here! tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a0112790d45ed28a401901bf3673a970b 2013-05-16T00:00:00-05:00 2013-05-13T20:03:56-05:00 It is hard to believe that it is that time of year again - graduation. Tracie made this card using our Everyday Sentiments set. The black layer has been embossed with a larger polka dot embossing folder. The graduation cap has been embossed with black and she has added some black "dot" embellishments to finish off this card. Congratulations to all the graduates!

 Bird on a Limb! tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a0112790d45ed28a401901bf34cfc970b 2013-05-14T00:00:00-05:00 2013-05-13T19:59:17-05:00 Below is another card from my April card class. I didn't add a sentiment to this card but it would work for many occasions. The limb is from the SU! set, Take Care. Little punched flowers were added with rhinestone centers. The bird is actually a Two Paper Divas set, Seed Packet Accessories #1. The wing was stamped a second time and popped up. The card was made with white, Early Espresso, Wisteria Wonder and a very small piece of So Saffron (for the beak) card stock. The Wisteria layer was embossed with a polka dot folder. White organza ribbon... Follow Two Paper Divas!

Of course, this bright fun card is perfect for a birthday but we think it would be beautiful in white or ivory for a wedding card. She used punches, a brad, sponging and the Everyday Sentiment from Two Paper Divas. Have a great weekend! We are finally having perfect weather!

We love all the sponging, distressing, ribbon, bling....etc. The sentiment is the same sentiment that Tracie used on her Mother's Day card last week. So, whatever your style, remember your mother this weekend. Two Paper Divas - Melissa and Gayla Follow Two Paper Divas!

I was inspired to create my own design for class. This card was made with Calypso Coral card stock and coordinating patterned paper, Tea for Two. The flower is from the stamp set, Secret Garden and colored with a stamp pad and blender pen. The flower was stamped three times and cut apart and each layer was popped up with Dimensionals. The card is embellished with vanilla seam binding ribbon and the sentiment is punched with the Word Window punch. Everything was sponged and a fine tip... Follow Two Paper Divas!
