Merci!

Hi Loves!

Happy Easter Monday :)

I hope that you had a wonderful Easter Sunday!

I wanted to share a card with you that I made for my dear friend Paula. She thought of me before she had a community sale a couple of weekends ago & saved for me a couple of home decor items. She was so sweet to think of me - so I wanted to make this thank you card for her! She is in love with Paris. 

.merci.

a 5"x7" card

a little DIY side note: the base printed paper of the card (stripe & grey floral) are actually cut from the cosmo cricket paper pack's display card - you know, the sheet of paper that shows mini displays of what comes in the kit?! the paper "samples" from the sheet were the perfect size for this card! the lace covers the merging of the print seams and the black ink makes it look seamless  :)

• gems: recollections

Damask Card

Happy Sunday!

Today I'm taking it easy & just relaxing! I wanted to share one of the thank you cards I made for the Florida bridal shower we were given. It was a gold & damask 5x7 card. I was inspired by the house of the family throwing the party. Such a beautiful home. Creamy blues, golds, and whites filled their home. Between the damask flocked wall paper in the formal rooms and the flower arrangements everywhere - it was truly a beautiful location to have a bridal shower.

Supply List:

Printed Paper: Creative Imaginations flocked damask print

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics, WorldWin Gold Shimmer
Sticker: Heidi Swapp Damask Sticker {in white}
Flowers: Prima Marketing {"Winter Roses"}
Ribbon: Misc - Gold Double-Faced Satin Ribbon {1.5"}, Gold Vintage Ribbon {about 3/8"}; May Arts - White Ribbon with gold piping {1/8"}
Pearls: Mark Richards

Ink: Colorbox

Happy Fall, Happy Feast Day of St. Margaret Mary, Happy Scrapping!!
