Party Like A Flamingo Card + Envelope

Exciting news!!

I was accepted to be an ADORNitGirl Ambassador!

If you haven't heard of ADORNit, you can check out their site here.

I received my first box of goodies a couple of days ago, and I couldn't wait another minute to start crafting.

For my first project, I wanted to do a full tutorial so you can see the products, and just how easy it is to make a coordinating card & envelope by hand.

Party Like A Flamingo Card + Envelope

For this set, I used parts of these 5 sheets of paper and washi tape.

With my We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board, I made an envelope that will finish off at 4" x 6".

A few punches, scoring, folding and gluing ... We now have a darling pink polka dot envelope!

I chose the black sheet for the card, cut it 8" x 6", so it would fold down to a 4" x 6" card.

  I added a couple stripes of washi tape to the bottom of the card front, and cut a banner from the pink dot paper.

I cut this You Are Fabulous wording out of the sheet and layered in on top.

For the inside of the card, I cut this journal card out, glued it to the pink dot paper, and then layered that on top of a strip of washi tape.

The focal point of this set, is this saying! I love it!

I splattered some hot pink watercolor on it, and set aside to dry.

Once dry, I cut it down and layered it on the black paper.

Fussy cut a few of the cute flamingos, and attached everything to the front of the envelope.

Only a few minutes later, you have a handmade, one of a kind Card + Envelope!

Happy Birthday Tool Card - DCWV & Hobby Lobby

Here is a fun way to incorporate a gift card into a handmade card.

My favorite gift cards, are the ones from Home Depot, because they are so fun! They come in all shapes, events and ideas.

I am lucky my entire family loves Home Depot, so I get to make fun cards like this one.

I made this card for my Dad for his birthday last month. This awesome Saw gift card hung nicely next to the wrench and hammer I cut from the DCWV Embossed Foil Stack. I hung them off layers of paper from the DCWV Embossed Shimmer Stack and Double Sided Cardstock.

For the inside of the card, I used a couple paint chips where I would write my note, and decorated it with a paintbrush.

I hope you are inspired to craft your own gift card holder!

Copper Celebrate Card

I love metal.

So, of course I fell in love with the new DCWV Classy Copper Stack!

This paper stack has just the right amount of copper pages, prints and fun tag cut outs, you don't really need any other paper to craft a darling card!

I made this birthday card with just a few of the amazing pages from this stack, and for a bit of color I just added some paint to the floral metallic page and used as the card base.

Inside I cut out a tag and some fun copper metal shapes.

Confetti Card

Confetti Card

I have been spoiled this month with some incredibly amazing new DCWV products. You won't want to miss them! Many new paper stacks with unique prints, home decor DIY items, fun new shaped mini paper stacks and even storage boxes.

I love the new Confetti Stack! Not only does it have darling paper sheets, it has velum punch outs to make little boxes, tag shapes you can cut out, and some confetti in the back!

Shaker cards are so fun, so I decided to make one and take advantage of the pre-cut confetti in this stack. (saved my hands from cutting it myself!)

I used this incredible bright blue DCWV FlipSide Cardstock for the card base. You need to get your hands on this stack, the colors are intense and fabulous!

Make sure you keep checking back, I have boxes full of exciting new product to show you!
