Itty Bitty Birdie Birthday

Today I have another Paper Lace birthday card.   I cut theHapbyBdy1 cut at 5" again but then I decided that a mat layer would be nice and the bird and leaves would really stand out if I put the blue paper under them.   I cut those by hand and taped them to the back of the cut and added a little shimmery brown gem for the bird's eye.

Just Because Throwback

Can I tell you that I have been eyeing this paper and this cut since I got the Paper Lace cartridge!   The paper is from American Crafts and the cut is JstBcse1, Lace 1, on the Paper Lace cartridge, cut at 3 1/2 and then a white gel pen to stitch the words "Just Because".

I used some extra strips of paper and a stamped sentiment on the inside.

Birthday Flourish

This birthday card was cut from Paper Lace, HapyBdy1, the Lace 1 cut, at 5".   Pretty simple and I didn't add anything to it, just mounted the cut onto a round card.  It turned out really pretty for a quick card.

Congrats Megan!

Congrats to our new hire, Megan.   She is super sweet and very bubbly, which is great because I am honestly not a smiley bubbly person.   I am happy but, not bubbly so I really enjoy people who honestly are....like my BFF, Melissa.  For the card, I cut the Congrats cut from Paper Lace at 4", in pink.   The background paper is from the DCWV Street Lace stack.  I also added some hard to see little pearls.  The front of the card is shorter than the inside of the card so, I added a purple mat inside with a pink stripe so that you can see it when the card is closed. 

Always Remember

I used the Paper Lace cartridge to create this 5 1/2" square card.  I cut the butterfly cut paper on K & Co double sided paper and I intended to use the green side but, the blue side looked so pretty on top of this chocolate brown paper. 

I cut the butterfly body at 2", twice.   I added a sentiment, some brown pearl gems, and inked the edges.  I only glued the bodies of the two butterfly cuts together and then pop dotted the wings to make them 3D

The ribbon was recycled packaging. 

The inside paper is from the DCWV Four Seasons stack and the sentiment from Fiskars.
