My Favorite Moments – Featuring Echo Park Simple Life Collection

By Cards

Hi all,

Happy Monday! Today was a fabulous day of warm weather and a nice spring breeze. After such a rainy week last week I was ready to get back into the swing of things in the craft room and create a new card for you.

Today’s card was created using papers and dies from the Simple Life Collection by Echo Park. I love the quality and colors of this collection. I wanted to create this type of card to show that card making and crafting doesn’t mean you need to have a TON of products, sometimes, things can come together quite easily if you find little collections or packs of paper that already coordinate for you. I found this pack at my local Tuesday Morning! I love that store!

For this card I used 2 sheets of 12×12 paper and a die-cut sticker.

For some added interest I included a strip of green paisley washi tape across the back and tied some gold cord on top.

Thanks for stopping by and see you again tomorrow for another idea on using collection packs to create cards!

By Cards

Hi all,

I’m working on some classroom valentines. Here are some ‘punny’ ones I made featuring some cute dimensional critters, washi tape and a couple of my favorite cardstocks!

The sentiments read:

Will you bee mine? – to use with all bee images

You make my heart flutter! – great to use for any critter with wings

I pick you, Valentine! – to use on any flowers

Folding Card Ideas – 3 Fold Card

By Cards

Hi All,

I’m back with another card idea for you. This one is inspired by a book I received called “Folding Card Ideas (I believe you can find the book on Amazon). Although this  book is jam packed with card ideas & drawings, there are little to no instructions on how to create the cards. So I put together a little card sketch of this one & guide you through the assembly.

Here’s the finished look.
