Wrapping my arms...

Hi everyone! Today, I have a darling card for you using a cookie template I found on Pinterest HERE! I just love that owl and will be making more of these. I really like the felted owls and will be making one of them, so stay tuned for my version soon! Using bright and colorful patterned papers made this little guy turn out adorable! I paired it with Spellbinders Paper Arts® Out on a Limb, and Marisa's Bouquet to finish the card.

You are in my thoughts...

Hi everyone! It has been a while since I've posted as I was visiting my brother in Virginia. I am able to go see him once a year, so I stayed a few extra days and we had a blast! We laughed, went to movies, went shopping, and I cooked up a storm for him. I miss him already!

Today, I am showing you how to create a gorgeous card using Spellbinders Paper Arts® Core Basics which consists of most of the dies you already own: Circles, Squares, Rectangles and Ovals. If you think that you can't make a fabulous card using your basic dies, then you will see how easy it is!

For my card, I used a coordinating paper pad that I found HERE called Vintage Autumn Basics by Maja Designs. I am so in love with Maja Designs paper pads and I had to purchase two of each, just because! With the coordinating paper pad, I simply cut my basic dies and layered them as shown and added a Victorian Woman cut out, lace, pearls and a pretty white silk bow. It can't get easier than that!

I cut the Urban Blooms die cut in half, then rolled and glued them onto a circle to get my sweet mum! You'll cut 6 or 8 of the blooms, depending on how full you want your flower to be. Add some silky ribbon bows and lace and your card is done! All supplies are listed below!
