Card - Wax Crayon Paper Flowers

Here's the card I made with my wax crayon paper from yesterday.

I cut the paper with the Sizzix Flower Layers #10 Bigz die.  I printed my nature poem onto white in blue.  I added the stem and flowers I designed over the script background.  This layer was color printed and trimmed to leave a small border.  I mounted it onto a medium blue card.  I placed my blue wax paper flower to work with the stem.  I added a white then a yellow silk flower and held all the flowers to the card front with a small white brad.  I made a hole for the brad with a push pin. I'm really happy with the way the card turned out.

I may have to use this idea for card club!!!  Great idea for earth day crafts.

Card - Script Background and Fleur de Lis Accent


I made this sketch earlier and decided this was a versatile sketch so I made more in other colors.  Pink, Blue and Yellow!  I created the script background with some poetry I wrote a long time ago.  I printed it in a color coordinate with the card color.  Found some ribbon to match which is pulled through a slit in the fold.  I cut the label with one of the SU Apothecary Framelits.  I'm really happy with my purchase of these.  I punched a 1.25" circle then layered a MS Fleur de Lis punchie onto it.  This accent was then applied to the card front with 3D foam tape.  Great versatile design.

Card - Exchange - Poetry & Fleur de Lis

I made 2 of these for my exchange group.  I started with a green card.  I printed a poem a wrote a long time ago on heavy paper in a corresponding color.  I trimmed it to leave a nice border and glued it to the card front.  I added a warm mossy green gross grain ribbon which I pulled through a slit on the fold and taped the ends to the inside of the card.  I cut the label from the Apothecary Framelits set in a darker green. Punched a 1.25" circle in white onto which I layered a MS Fleur de Lis punchie. It was mounted to the card front with 3D foam tape.  Makes a great card for any occasion.
