make for one tired Mama the next day.
Stayed up way too late making a few cards for some Very Important Peeps in our lives last night:)
Love that I finally found some creative mojo....
and have to say that creating them was worth every little bit of tired that is following me around today.
First....
Supplies used: Patterned Papers- Echo Park & October Afternoon/ Button- Jenni Bowlin Studios/ Twine- Martha Stewart/ Ribbon- Dollar Store/ Bling- Queen & Co/ Letter Stickers- My Little Shoebox, Crate, & Bella Blvd/ Polka Dotted Penant- Pebbles/ Other- Turquoise bead from my Daughters bead collection.
a closeup...
and a peek at the inside:) LOVE those little craft envies...they are perfect for holding a giftcard...which is exactly what this one will do:)
next....
Supplies used: Patterned Papers, Flower, & Letter stickers: American Crafts/ Fabric Paper- Amy Tangerine for American Crafts/ Green Paper- Imaginisce/ Stick Pin- Teresa Collins.
And finally a photo card....
Supplies used: Patterned Papers- American Crafts & October Afternoon/ Cardstock- Bazzill/ Embellishments- American Crafts Dear Lizzy & Pebbles Inc (brad)/Other- Ribbon
This is one of my new favorite techniques. Adding the picture to the outside of the card is an easy...and might I add adorable...although I AM admittedly a bit biased....way to embellish!
Hope you are all having a great Monday!
Thanks for stopping by today:)
