Have you seen Diana's new spring ribbon colors?? Oh my gosh, they're so gorgeous!! I had to use two of them for today's cards. You'll be seeing projects with the other two soon :)

The doily is a Cheery Lynn French Pastry die.The two circles are Memory Box Stitched Circles dies and they were each popped up with foam tape for dimensions. The images are from the Prima paper.

The butterflies fluttering about are My Creative Time's Mini Butterflies covered with glitter. The tags are Taylored Expression Banner Stacklet dies cut in vellum. This gorgeous crinkle ribbon is Peach and below is Lavender from the 2016 Spring Bundle. I used a Tim Holtz Splatter Brush to sprinkle some white acrylic paint across the cards.

Merry Christmas Gift Set

Happy Monday and happy spring...or fall for all my southern hemisphere friends!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I have a seasonal project to share with you  today :)

I know it's the second day of spring, but I'm actually getting a head start on my Christmas projects :) I made some Christmas cards and a gift box to hold them. I used beautiful Authentique Festive Christmas papers sent by one of my oldest and sweetest and dearest blog friends, Sherrie of Sherrie Scraps With Passion!! We both started our blogs about the same time and have been friends from the beginning :) The sparkly Merry Christmas tape along the bottom of the box is also from Sherrie. Thanks again for everything!!

For the cards, I used the new Whispers Angel of Peace dies. I popped them up with foam tape for dimension. The circles are the new Whispers Stitched Nesting Circles dies. They were also popped up with foam tape.

The sentiments are Sweet Wordlets Peace on Earth and Sweet Wordlets Believe dies. The buttons on the ribbons are a Wee Petites Button dies.

For the gift box,  I used a Whispers Madonna Ornament. The sentiment is a Sweet Wordlets Merry Christmas die. Another Wee Petites Button die was used on the ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great day :)
