Make a Wish

Happy Thursday everyone!! I hope you are having a great week!! Only two days left in February...I hope March is much better to us weather-wise :)

I wanted to enter a couple of challenges so I created a springy birthday card to add to my stash :)

The papers are from Ruby Rock-It's Arcadia stack and were attached with Score Tape. The edges were distressed with a Zutter Distress-It-All and then inked with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. Two sizes of Spellbinders Big Scalloped Circles Large were cut with papers from my stash. They were sanded with a TH sander and each layer was popped up with foam tape for dimension. The tag is a TH Tiny Tabs and Tags die. The pearl swirls are from Want 2 Scrap and I snipped and manipulated them along the side of the card. The ribbon is from May Arts and the Chalk White Seam Binding was colored with TH Spun Sugar Distress Stain. Make a Wish is a TH Remnant Rub - I am addicted to these right now...I'm rubbing them on everything :)

A Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangle die was used for the sentiments from JustRite Stamps Grand Sentiments stamp set. It was stamped with Versafine in Black Onyx.

The butterfly is a Spellbinders Wonderful Wings die. It was stamped with the coordinating stamp from the JustRite Grand Sentiment set in Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. The antennae were created with beads from my stash. The top layer was attached to the base with a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen along the center, leaving the wings unattached.

I used the Classy Cards 'n Such color palette for this card:

Happy Tuesday!! February is just flying by, isn't it??!! Since Valentine's Day is Friday, I have a couple of projects to share with you this week, including this card :)

I started of cutting the Die-Versions Heart Burst die through the three base layers of paper. The top layer was embossed with a Cuttlebug Heart Blocks embossing folder.

Then a piece of recycled clear plastic packaging was attached to the back. The paper on the inside is from My Mind's Eye.

The Die-Versions Heart Burst die was then attached to the plastic with Glossy Accents. The center heart was cut in sparkly silver paper and attached to the inside. The ring of gems is from Want 3 Scrap.

Love is from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags 3 stamp set. The burlap ribbon is from Hobby Lobby and I can't remember where I got the red ribbon with white stitching. The heart button is a Spellbinders Potpourri die.
