Decorate to Celebrate DT Challenge #99: Have a Lovely Day Flip Card

Hello, Crafty Friends!

It's time for Decorate to Celebrate today! You can create anything 3-D...for a change to win a prize from Rhonda!

Here's my card:

You may be thinking...there's nothing 3-D, but the 3 flowers are raised with foam tape, and you can flip the card open! That makes it 3-D, right? =)

The card is from Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge and I cut it twice, using white cardstock and a double-sided patterned paper. I layered the pp on the white card base and added the stamped flowers and some Prima flowers.

Finally, I added the stamped sentiment.

Cardabilities Design Team Reveal #121: Butterfly Mother's Day Card

(I have 2 posts today...if you're looking for my DT project for Decorate to Celebrate, please click HERE)

Hello, crafty friends!

It's the 15th...and you know it! It's Cardabilities Design Team Reveal Day!

Here's the gorgeous sketch by Karan:

And here's my card:

I simply layered 2 patterned papers for the base. I cut out some leaves (Spellbinders), using solid green and patterned paper, and layered them with some flowers. I added 3 pearls to the blue flower's center.

I cut a butterfly (Artiste Cricut Collection- CTMH), both shape (patterned paper) and the scroll (white cardstock). I inked the scroll butterfly, added glitter to the wings, adhered (by the body only) on the shape cut, and adhered on the card.

Then, I stamped sentiment on Colonial White cardstock, cut the banner, inked the edges and adhered on butterfly with foam tape. Finally, I added more pearls to the top right side of card.

1. Word Art Wed #179: AG Family Friendly Challenge

French Dies {Fri}: Artfully Sent Mother's Day Card

Happy Friday!

Wonderful Fabulous You Card

Easter is almost here! I cannot believe it!

I made this card for a class that I'll be teaching in April.

I'm also entering this card in the "We're so Egg-cited for Easter!" Challenge at H2H Challenge Blog.
OK, so the card doesn't have eggs nor does it say "Happy Easter" (at least, not that you can see), but still...doesn't it look Easter-ish? =)
Birds always remind me of Easter...but where is spring??? Why is it still so cold???

Anyway...
Easel cards are awesome! And this one has the emboss resist technique.

Supplies used:
C1533 Fabulous You (CTMH)
B1418 Love Doily (CTMH)
Brilliance ink pads in four different colors

Have a good "Good Friday"!
