A CHRYSANTHEMUM DOILIES BACKGROUND BANNER

i found this beauty at the 

digi playground site

and wanted to share it.

it has a background but i wanted to use it without it. 

it also cuts perfectly with the cricut explore. 

i love intricate cuts.

(there are a few intricate cards i can't wait to try them)

MOMENTS...a very pretty card

hello,

time went fast and i am  here again with another project for nani ke ola to share with you all.

have to tell you this small car was a handful, hehe, but here we are.

Moments

all pattern papers used are from

chic tags, cloud nine collection.

 can you see the embossing done on the first gray layer (from bottom to top)?

after the embossing i used a prima chalk ink on the raised surface and on the edges.

here you can see i used the same gray paper to die cut a doilie, i then cut it in half and added it to the front of my card. behind the doilie you can see another pretty patterned paper from cloud nine: the one with the clouds. it is called “dreamy”.

the wood veneer serves as a closure for the doilie and for the sentiment.

the pretty flower to the right is a rub on, also from cloud nine. i used foam tape on the back of the flower for dimension. the mini leaves are from a paper punch. i stamped some lines on them for interest.

let me not forget about the photo corners. they match with a strip i added to the inside.

on this pic above, you see how i mounted the card onto some cardstock, also for more interest.  you can also see where i added that strip of the same yellow patterned paper i used for the photo corners.

after all,  “miss handful moments” turned out very pretty. :D

i hope you all have a great week

and

thank you so much for stopping by.

IMAGINE TODAY using Color Hills

hello fellow crafters,

hope you are having a great 2014 start.

all i want is some sunshine...enough of snow and ice and rain.

so my "imagine today" card with color hills brought some  of it (sunshine) into my crafty world.

this is my first time using color hills and i am liking the colors and thickness of the cardstock. the designs are superb and the badges (round embellishment) add some flair and are all that and more.

Imagine Today

is a 5.5" x 3.75" card

i told you it was like a ray of sunshine...beautiful paper! :D

the white base is from my stash. it was already a size 5.5" x 4.25"...a standard A2 size. i trimmed some of it to a 3.75" and used it as a tent style card.

the  designer patterned papers are from color hills:  the refresh collection and you can find it here.

i punched the bottom edge of the yellow patterned paper and use a die for the half doilie. the sentiment "imagine" was cut out right from the patterned paper, a simple rectangle.

all edges were inked with powder puff chalk inks.

some jute was added (three strings attached with mini staples) and some foam dot was added to the back of the badge (the badges have a pin to attach but i chose to use foam dots because of where i wanted to use them on my card), and a  bit of distressing on two areas...

and here you have it: an Imagine Today card with a bit of sunshine.

hope you enjoy my card for today using the new "refresh" collection from color hills.

all supplies have been linked for your convenience.

ENDLESS GRATITUDE...a tag for a friend

hello fellow bloggers,

this tag is for a friend, it will be on top of a small present so maybe we can call it a gift wrap topper instead a tag. we make these pretty projects, we give them names and titles. we label them but the truth is, most of them can be used in any way we want to use them, am i right or what? lol.

sooo, if it inspires you today,  make it and use it as it fits your needs. :D

Endless Gratitude

2.75" x 4.75"

cute, isn't it? not my everyday colors but they still a pretty color combo.

if you receive the artful delight kit you already know most of my supplies for the tag are from this september kit.

the base patterned paper is from the authentique "strong collection".

i die cut the doily with a quickcutz (antique doily) die i purchased at j's and cut it in half. the paper i used for the doily is from the same authentique collection "strong".

the pretty and unique sentiment is from paper smooches "many thanks" stamp set. the flower is from prima and i distressed it a bit with brown dye ink.

i embossed the white cardstock from bazzill (this one came in with another kit) using a cuttlebug embossing folder.

the burlap is the remnant of the mini pocket from maya road i used in this card. the jute is also from maya road.

i used the glue gun to attach the burlap and the flower and the mini bows (just for the fun of it), hehe.

and another "this is it" for today. 

i hope you like it too, i know my friend will. she always makes me feel so good and now is  my turn to make her feel good too.

thanks for stopping by flowerdisco and know that i still value you so very much.

have a great week!

BELIEVE is a card i made using my july card kit

  welcome to flowerdiscos' scrap hut

 today i wanted to show off some of the pretty papers that come in this artful delight card kit and i "believe" some how i accomplished my mission. therefor the title of today's post and project.

Believe

3.75" x 5.5"

i have seen this technique around and is nothing new but i think it was the perfect way to show the papers to you. the strips of paper were cut at 1/2 an inch, individually inked. i  adhered them one by one on a piece of white cardstock and trimmed the ends off. i then added that piece to the front of my card.

(note that these are not all the papers in the kit but a few)

i also added the doilies (bo bunny), the butterfly stamp and sentiment (lawn fawn), and the enamel dots (my mind's eye). actually, all you see here is from the kit. all except the gold glitter i used for the butterflies body and the brown ink i used for the stamping.

(the lawn fawn sentiment reads "believe in your dreams" but i just used the one word)

i even added some mini photo corners.

if you watched this video you know i mentioned the glitter in this teresa collins dotted paper transfers. to remedy this i sprayed the paper with hair spray and problem solved: no more loose glitter.

and for your delight and mine :P

i loove how it turned out.

thank you so much for stopping by.

have a great week!

WILD CARD WITH LISA/DOILY

Hello to all!

As some of you know, I love gardening. I like to play with the dirt and 

start my flowers/vegetables from seeds. 

I am no pro and I do not have a beautiful garden. I just like to garden.

This is my time to start seeding and that is 

what I was doing yesterday. Then, I had some volunteering job to do.

I also had my electrician at home because we had the 

main circuit box changed and needed 

to call the inspector and make an appointment. 

Also, my door bell was not working. 

The problem was the switch needed to be reset, ooops... lol.

Anyhow, you know what he told me? The hole in the ceiling??? 

 I almost cried when he said he would've done it for $50 :( 

From now on I will call him first.

Anyway, I apologize I got distracted here from the main object of this post, which is the 

WILD CARD WITH LISA

On this Thursday, March 9, and a beautiful day. 

(I believe the temp is supposed to be nearly 50 degrees, 

YAY! It is like recharging my battery with the 

awesome sunshine after a long winter).

I am presenting the Doily Card, 

# 21 in our series and from page 52 of the handbook.
