Flower Power

I don't know why I never thought of this before. I bought some cheap silk flowers at the dollar store and pulled them apart to put on cards. You can get a lot of flowers for not a lot of money this way. There were even some flowers there that had a velvety coating on them, they looked pretty good, I wish I had gotten some more of those now.

The paper crafting continues...

I made these this winter and am just now getting them posted. I have been making cards a lot lately. It is such a rewarding creative release for me. I need it. It is so great to actually finish a few projects. There is a sense of satisfaction that comes from finishing a project.
I just love the card with the four scraps of paper and the heart. This one just fell together and worked. I love it when that happens. Thank you Jen for introducing me to cardmaking!

Tie

I finally got back to sewing! I made the ties I had posted about earlier. They were pretty easy. Now that I've done it once I feel confident that I will do it again when I find fabric that I really like. I did change a few construction aspects of the pattern, but overall it went well and I finally learned how to tie a tie!

More Cards

These cards were fun to do! I love the paper, I got it at hobby lobby. I have a hinge die that ebosses and cuts at the same time, I had never used it before. I love it now, it adds something special to the cards.
This card was pre embossed with a window design. I added some black ink to highlight this detail. Then just added the circles and tied a ribbon around the center.
