BITS AND PIECES HELLO CARD

hello all.

this card i had made for last wednesday but for lack of good natural light i was not able to upload but i am sharing it with you today.

(i want to apologize because i haven't be able to work on the extra tabs. i really want to start them going. i will get there. god's will).

this is a cute of card. it has an insert you can use as a pocket for pics or journaling or just to keep in whatever you desire.

*-*

Hello

5" wide x 4.25" tall with the insert 

or 

3" tall without it

and again, we can cut it in a smaller size or a larger size.

 that hello got me. i think it is a gorgeous font. 

it was cut at 2-1/4 inches tall and the width is around 4".

-design space image #M100B37- 

i cut the insert a bit shorter because it was sticking out too much for my liking.

 the hello word comes with or should i say "on" a speech bubble? 

i un-grouped them and just cut the word.

-design space image #MFC5F4-

-added some punched out hearts for a bit more of something-

i will be adding this card to the custom items tab and if you are interested in an order, please, contact me.

thanks for taking a peek.

have a  great week and i hope you are enjoying the mini series.

MINI JOURNALING CARDS...using more color hills

hello all,

i am here again with more color hills patterned papers.  i like the colors, the texture, the design...love it all.

with valentine's in mind i made these small pouches where i will write a "love note" along with some sweet chocolate to my loved ones. i thought it would be fun to share with you and give you some kind of a different twist on them.

-i used a die cutter machine (cricut) to make the pouches-

i also did some zig zag stitching using my sewing machine and i also did some stamping (the blotches on the paper) using a halloween dollar stamp i had in my stash.

-Fancy Today-

t

the heart is from a metal die cut

-Fresh Breeze-

mini hearts here done with a hand punch.

-Enjoy-

not too sure about the blotches done in red but liking the embossed heart behind the negative die cut.

here you can see the set of three heart pouches.

and...

-all the sentiments are already written on the color hills patterned papers making it fun to choose to play. you can also cut them a journaling cards for any of your projects.-

hope you like them as much as i do and i invite you to give this company a try.

all supplies have been linked to the store for your convenience.

thanks so much for stopping by!

A JOURNALING POCKET...using my june card kit from artful delight

hello all,

hope you all had a great weekend. 

we had beautiful weather and of course did some more yard work and also went for a ride in the country. 

awesome scenery!

today is my turn to post for artful delight.

and to make something other than a card i made this cute journaling pocket. in my mind it has various uses and i can assure you will find another purpose for it too.

so easy to make!

Joy

5" x 3"

first i want to say all the supplies are from the kit. 

the extras are my adhesive, sewing machine and thread.

i cut the super thick yellow cardstock base to a 7-1/4" x 3" and scored at 2-1/4" inches. the patterned papers were cut a 1/4" smaller.

i then adhered them with a bit of glue in the center so i can sew them without gluing my sewing needle. i did some zig zag stitching first (while the pocket was open) and then went and did a regular stitch around it to close the edges.

i used the fork method for the tiny ribbon using the red twine and added one of the second set of stick pins in the kit. i also added a journaling page in the pocket. did i already tell you i heart that heart against the polka red dots. well, i do :P

 i had to show off the floral paper in this kit too. i think is stunning and it even has some texture to it. awesome!

at the end i added that little handle on the top left just for fun and added the pretty "hi" brad . i like to leave the ends of my thread "fluttering" around. i think it gives the project a whimsical touch. 

and... this is my non card project for you today. :P

 pss!...hope you entered our monthly challenge.

 the prize for a lucky entry is a monthly kit of their choice, nice, huh? 

 this is it for today.

wish you all a great week!
