Spring Cards

I shared my super cute card box with you last week.

I intentionally didn't get carried away embellishing the box, because I haven't decided yet if I am keeping it or going to share it as a gift. So once I decide I can embellish it a bit more.

This week I wanted to share the card ideas I came up with to enclose in the box. I made 4 cards, but there is room for up to six depending on the embellishments on the cards. I used the Penelope Paper Collection from Close To My Heart to create the box and cards. I loved the little chicks and it felt so springy.

The picture doesn't show the pattern in the blue paper to well.

I decided to make a couple of Easter Cards, and a Mother's Day Card. The last card I left plain, because I haven't decided yet what to use it for. It would be a really cute thank you card.

You could easily make the cards all the same, or all different. Very versatile.

I used one paper packet collection, a journaling box, some glacier twine and a few sequins I had laying around. but you could also use the Workshop Your Way Kit and have more coordinated embellishments, stickers and washi tape to decorate with.

A fun and easy project that makes a great gift for anyone.

You can find all the supplies here to get started on your own set of cards.

I can't wait to see what you create!

Spring Is In The Air

The weather has been so nice lately, that I have been feeling like Spring might be on the way. The weatherman is forecasting a chance of snow later this week, so I am holding onto what I have left of the nice weather for as long as I can.

I spent some time this week working on my March Project. I have decided I will be putting together a set of 4 spring themed cards, with a cute box to store them in until you are ready to use them.

Here is a Sneak Peek of the box front, with the Frog, and the back with the saying:

And the inside:

I will show you the cards I have created next week.

The idea behind this project was to create a cute box and set of cards that matched and could be done from one Paper Packet and Embellishment and/or Assortment Collection. I chose the New Penelope Collection to work with, because I was feeling springy and the little chicks made me smile.

I only made four cards, but there was enough paper left-over to make several more... perhaps gifts tags too?

I will provide all the details on this kit, as well as the cost and supplies, next week when I show the cards I created.

I will be offering this kit in March, so be sure and get the sneek peek next week.

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope every has a special day!
