Floral Birthday Wishes

This is another card from the door prize set. Pretty, simple and quick to make.

Garden Circle card

To make this card, I used the Thinlits Die cut Circle Card.(#133480),the Serene Silhouettes stamp set (#127324) and patterned paper from the Greenhouse Gala patterned paper set. The greeting is from a SU birthday set that is several years old. This is another card for the door prize set.

Tags & flower

The two tags were stamped and then cut out. I punched a hole in the top of each one and tied it to floss wrapped around a ribbon slider/brad.
The patterned paper was from the old Greenhouse Gala pack. I made 8 cards for a set to be used as a door prize for my church's ladies retreat in October. I will be posting these the next 7 posts.

Fall Butterflies and Flowers

I found these butterflys at Dollar Tree when I was in there a few days ago looking for items for my Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. There were 2 butterflies on a card for a dollar. I used papers from my scrap box, adhesive, glue dots, and brads to put these together in just a few minutes.

Materials needed:
Burlap & feather butterflies
Mellow Moss and Lost Lagoon card stock, each 4 1/4 x 5 1/2"
Night of Navy card stock 3 1/2 x 3 1/2"
Old Olive card stock 2 x 2 1/2"
Patterned paper from Greenhouse Gala
Tangerine Tango card stock
Tangerine Tango ink
White card stock
Word Window punch
Modern Label punch
Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set
Brads
Glue dots

1. I cut the card stock and patterned paper to fit from the scraps that I had and adhered them to the background card stock.
2. I placed several glue dots to the body of the butterfly and a couple to one wing. These butterflies have a heavy body so I put 5 or 6 glue dots on each one to hold it in place.
3. Stamp the greetings on white card stock and punch out with the word window punch. Put out a modern label from Tangerine Tango card stock. Adhere together.
4. Adhere the greeting to the top right of the card and secure in place with brads. The brads on the blue background are brads that I've had for several years.The ones on the green background are from SU and I've had them a couple of years. These were the last ones I had so that's why I didn't use the same brads on each card.

The Earth Laughs in Fall Flowers

We had our Operation Christmas Child rally last Saturday. We had a really good turnout and had lots of fun. We hope that everyone is getting geared up now to pack more shoeboxes and allow more gospel opportunities for children around the world. Maybe I'll have a bit more time now to post instructions for my cards. If you have any suggestions, just leave a comment.

Here's a card with some colors for fall.

Materials needed:
Fabulous Florets stamp set (#123027)
Greenhouse Gala patterned paper (117167, retired)
Wild Wasabi card stock 3 1/4 x 4 1/4"
So Saffron card stock 2 1/2 x 3 3/4"
White card stock
Tangerine Tango ink
Scallop border punch
Dotted Scallop border punch
Corner Rounder punch
Everyday Enchantment Organdy ribbon (or other ribbon)
   Lucky Limeade
   Calypso Coral
Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430)
Xyron Little X

1. After you cut your card stock to the sizes named, then punch your border. I punched the dotted scallop border on the Wild Wasabi and the scalloped border on the So Saffron card stock.
2. Stamp you flower image in Tangerine Tango ink. Cut it out. Place dimensionals on the back of the cut out image. Place it on the So Saffron card stock.
3. Adhere the Wild Wasibi card stock on top of the patterned paper and the So Saffron on top of the Wild Wasibi card stock as shown in the picture.
4. I usually run my tape runner down the back of my ribbon to adhere it to the card. This ribbon is very thin so I ran it through my Little X sticker maker. That put adhesive on the back of the ribbon without me making a mess on everything else. Then I simply peel the ribbon off of the backing paper and placed it on the right hand side of my patterned paper.
5. Because I had room, I placed my greeting strip in the Little X beside the ribbons. Then I adhered it over the green and yellow card stock.
6. Adhere the card front to a card base and you are ready for your fall greeting to a friend.
 

Green and Brown card

The image on this card is a little different because I double stamped it. I stamped first with Always Artichoke ink and then I stamped it a second time with Old Olive ink. The stamp was from the Just Believe stamp set (#120453).
