Fun with SEI

I have this 6x6 pad of SEI papers that kinda match, but not really match...know what I mean? So I decided to use this card from Pinterest as my inspiration since it only uses small strips of different papers. I used Fresh Ink Chocolate for the Hero Arts image and Hot Off the Press sentiment. It goes so well with the dark brown Bazzill circle layer and bottom strip. I wanted to use a dark color at the bottom to help anchor the card. I added a black brad by American Crafts to give the whole thing some extra dimension. The circle sentiment is done with Nesties and popped up.

 

These will likely go into my "gift" drawer and be part of a Christmas present.

Spring time missing you

This SEI patterened paper just seems to shout spring and keeping with the spring theme, I used some pink and green Bazzill for the anchoring colors. Those heart brads are from my stash and the sentiment is Hero Arts. The card follows OWH sketch 122.

 

Have a fabulous day!

For Mom

I managed to get a few Mother's Day cards done in time for the OWH deadline. I rarely make specific holiday cards for them because I end up having to keep them for 9-10 months because I miss the deadline lol.

The first one features some SEI Couture Tabaret paper. I used a dots folder for texture and added some matching ribbon. I really like this mint green Bazzill and plan on using it more often. All of the cardstock is Bazzill and the ribbon I had on hand. The sentiment and punches are Stampin' Up! This card uses OWH bonus sketch 31.

 

For this one, I used SEI Couture Marquisette paper and a cute embellishment from the Embellishment Bar at my LSS. (I love how she sells individual items like this.) Again, I used a dots folder for texture and to match the paper. The cardstock is all Bazzill. For the sentiment, I used a Stampin' Up! stamp and punches.  This one uses OWH bonus sketch 17. I usually put a piece of pop up tape in the middle of my main pieces, but this time I didn't so there's some "give" for the embellishment.

 

Share a smile today...you never know how it will change someone's day!

Oh Happy Day!

I love this sentiment (from Studio G). It just strikes me as cheerful and fun. What do you think? The cardstock on this is all Bazzill and the patterned paper is SEI Couture Marquisette. I enjoyed hunting through my scraps for something to match those dots. The circles are done with Nesties and the bling is from my stash. This is also my interpretation of OWH bonus sketch 19.

 

Have a fabulous weekend!

It's your birthday!

Well, I'm sure it's somebody's birthday! And here's a birthday card made from scraps, not that anyone could tell unless I told them.

 

The background paper is Pink Paislee Taffeta and that circle is SEI Couture.  I used Bazzill for the base and that heart circle. I just love that Nesties set and have to thank my friend for bringing all of her Nesties for me to use. The sentiment and punches are SU. The purple is Bazzill. Oh, and the sketch is OWH Bonus 18.

 

 

Have a crafty kind of day!
