Time to Celebrate

I love making flowers!  They are just so pretty and so personal.  So when I saw the challenges at Sentimental Sunday (handmade flower and a sentiment) and Let's Ink it Up (handmade flower and a focal sentiment), I just knew I wanted to play.

I love making rosette flowers.  I used an edge punch on this one before folding it up to be a flower.  It gives it just a little more femininity.  CTMH products used are Mayberry Level 2, You and Me stamp set, Colonial White crocheted ribbon, and cocoa ink.  The punches used are Fiskars.  Those rolled up flowers were made using the Spring Up stamps set.

I plan on teaching this card (and those little roll-up flowers) at my brunch Gathering on Saturday.  So if you are local and would like to come, just let me know!

All You Need is Love

I am just squeaking by to get into the All Things Unity challenge which is to make an easel or tri-fold card.  I decided I wanted to do a triangle tri-fold because I think it's such a fun little card for people to open!  Frosted Designs wants to see red, pink, and white and Let's Ink it Up is looking for romance/Valentine's cards.  It was easy to hook these three up together!

I used two Unity kits of the month - April and August. Don't you love the hearts and saying?  My paper is Bazzill and my ink is CTMH.  I randomly popped up those hearts for a bit more interest.  Here's the inside and you can see a little bit how it opens.

Hope you are having a happy crafting day!
