Flowers & Filigrees Cards

Here are a few cards that we will be making at my March Workshops. They all use the March Stamp of Month called "A Little Everything". This set of 26 stamps does have a little of everything! It is perfect for all-occasion cardmaking and scrapbook journalling spots.

These cards also feature the Just Blooms Paper Flowers. There are so many ways to embellish and alter these wonderful little flowers - they can be dyed with re-inkers, stamped, chalked, and sponged.

"MANY THANKS" CARD: 

Made with the Sweet Home papers.

The flower is sponged with Indian Corn Blue ink using a sponge dauber,

and topped off with a threaded button.

"THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO" CARD:

Made with the Top Stitch papers.

The flower is dyed with blush re-inker and stamped with

 the "Playful Fourishes" stamp set in Blush ink,

and topped off with a Filigree Charm.

"HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY" CARD:

Made with the That's Amore papers.

The flower is dyed with blush re-inker and chalked a bit on the edges,

then topped off with a Filigree Charm.

"CELEBRATE" CARD:

Made with the Veranda Creative Basics papers.

The flower is left untouched,

and topped off a a Bigger Brad and a crocheted flower dyed with a creme brulee re-inker.

Valentine Treats/Party Favors

Homemade Valentines and Party Favors speak your heart better than

any store bought sentiment. Mine have a Valentine theme,

but each one of these could be adapted to suit any holiday or

occasion where you would need party favors.

Here are a few I have put together for

an upcoming workshop next week.

Going from left to right starting in the back, we have the

Little Owl Peek-a-Boo Treat Holder, A Bagalope (a bag made from

an envelope), the So Glad We're Friends Tea Bag Holder,

The Pull-Up Chocolate Bar Slider, A Lollipop Cover,  

and a Nugget Tent.

Here is a shot of the ones that open up to reveal a treat inside...
