My take on the Paper Craft Card

I wanted to do more of girly vintage of the card in Paper Craft Mag. The flower is actually from a playing card. I got a bunch of old cards from my grandma-inlaw. There are some pretty backing of playing cards, and a great use for when you lose some cards.

Weekend Challege # 5

Welcome to this weeks challenge. Below is the sketch. The challenge is to do a one layer card with one ribbon. For those who don't know, a one layer card is just one piece of cardstock, no more paper added. So here is where you stamps shine. I had a hard time with one layer. One of the cards I made for this did not turn out. But now that I made some, they are so hard. I like the simplitic look that comes from one layer cards. Here are the two cards that did make it. Embossing is an easy way to decorate one layer cards because you can do it with just the cardstock. As you can see, I embossed on both cards.

CPS 173 - Birthday card

I have a birthday party to go to today and I made the card with the sketch from Card Postioning Systems.

The inside of the card. It holds money. I even decorated the envelope. This not part of the sketch. I made this cake box for some m&ms to give with the gift. I made candles by rolling up B&T paper and the flame is just paper folded in half.
