Hidden deep in my computer

 

So I have been mucking about on my computer and I keep stumbling upon projects that never got posted here on my blog.  This card was one I made for a friend's baby shower (a year ago!) and I loved this card.   The colours are so soothing and it has a real vintage, shabby chic feel to it which is what I am all about!  I don't have all of the details about this card but one thing you will notice is I didn't use patterned paper.  The whole card is cardstock, stamps and ink.  It is actually a lot of fun making your own background paper!  You always get the colours you want!  :) 

Some of the detail...

This is the inside of the card...

    

This is the back of the card...

Thanks for looking!

Use it up!

I have decided that I need to use up some of my old stash so that I can load up on all of the amazing new product that will be available soon!  I seriously need to make room (you have NO idea)!  I used some paper from the Sweet Home pack (blue) and the More to Adore pack (floral) along with Cocoa and Daisy white cardstock for the card base and mats.  The sentiment is from the Wings Workshop on the Go and was stamped in Indian Corn Blue.  The vertical ribbon is a combo of the wide ribbon from Cocoa Ribbon Rounds and some natural hemp. The little flower is made using Blush ric rac and I think it turned out really cute...I've never made a ribbon flower that small before!  I don't know if I'd say it's one of my favourite cards but  I successfully managed to use up some old stock and create something new and that makes me happy!  :)

Vintage Rose Birthday Card

Where have I been? I'll spare you the details...let's just say my life has been as crazy as usual.! ;)

I created this card for my mother for her birthday and I was really happy with how it turned out. It's so what I am into right now and it has a nice vintage feel to it. I will hopefully be posting a tutorial in the near future showing how to make those flowers...they are so pretty and easy to make too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday card

This is a card I made for my friends birthday and I wasn't going to post it until I gave it to her but it seems that we can't find a time to get together. So I decided to go ahead and post it anyway. I don't THINK she visits my blog but if you do Becky...this card isn't for you. ;)

I was really happy with the way it turned out. The inspiration came from another card I had seen somewhere but I can't remember where I seen it. I actually think it was a SU design but if it was your card I seen...please notify me so I can give you credit!

My Farm birthday card

I have used this stamp set for most of the men in my family. Being a farm family, CTMHs "My Farm" stamp set has been very useful! I made this card for my father in law's birthday and I was very pleased with how it turned out. It's my favourite card with this SS yet.
