Hostess Gift Card Sets

Hi everyone,

I'm stopping by today to share some card sets I've been working on the last little bit. I find card sets to be a great thing to make when the mojo just isn't there. The designs tend to be quite simple and since I'm mass producing there is little thinking to do once the design is settled on. Once finished they make great hostess gifts. :)

I used Jennifer McGuire's BRILLIANT tutorial for making the boxes. I also used this as an opportunity to use up some of the patterned paper I've hoarding from past Simon Says Stamp Card kits and my own stash.

Here are the 3 card sets I made (this is a picture heavy post). ;)

This first set uses the Paper Smooches Bold Buzzwords Stamp Set and their Quotables Dies, along with some Basic Grey 6x6 Paper and lots of different enamel dots...

My second and third card sets use a number of Simon Says Stamp word dies, Hero Arts sequins, and patterned papers from various Simon Says Stamp Card Kits.

Pin-spiration Week #2

Hi everyone,

I'm back today to share another card inspired by something I found on Pinterest. In case you missed my post last week I'm going to try and make this a weekly feature over here on Tuesdays. :)

Here's what inspired me for this week's card:

I love the bold colors, geometric shapes, and the white space. I was also drawn the the pieces hanging
over the edges.

Here's what I came up with inspired by the middle piece in particular. I'm not going to lie...it took a good
few hours to come up with something I was happy with:

I backed the front piece with acetate so I could put some foam adhesive between it and the black/white
patterned paper.
