Die-cut the rabbit layers and the scallop circle and
dry embossed it with Swiss dots embossing folder.


Of course I had to make a matching envelope too!

Sitting Pretty bunny Easter Card

Hello and welcome to All Things Beautiful!
Thank you for visiting  my little space on the blog sphere!
 I hope your day is going well and you are finding some time to be creative.
Today is a quick post.

Here is another on of my Easter cards I can hardly believe the holiday is coming up the end of the week! How time flies!


I colored in the flowers on the image and masked it off to hide the bunny so I could ink in the clouds in the background

I added fuzzy flocking to the nose and toes of the feet.


I also had lots of fun making a matching envelope.

The Best is Yet to Come

Hello There and welcome to my blog. Thank you for stopping by.
Today I am sharing a card that is totally out of my comfort zone.

You see, I typically use neutral colors, classic designs, lines, clean and simple for the most part but today's card is anything but neutral. 

For today's card I choose some bright paper, inks, and washi.
Since my 2018 craft goal is to decorate the card front, inside and envelope to match I used the same inks, stamps and washi on all three.


The splatter stamp I used on the bread tag I also stamped inside


Here's a close up of the bread tag cut from white cardstock and I also added a real bread tag as an additional embellishment.

Quilted Gate-Fold

A Great, Big, "Hi There!" on this Thursday. I've been working on some Gate=fold cards lately. Today's post showcases a Gate-fold. It is one of the easiest fun fold type cards to make. If you haven;t tried making a Gate=fold card yet you can find a link to the tutorial I used under my tutorial tab here.
You can purchase this card over at my shop here.

For today's card I used some metal dies to help me along with the design. You can find the list of all the supplies I used on this card listed below. 
On this Gate-fold I created more of a side gate-fold but the technique works the same.

I added some of the pieces of patterned paper to the envelope in order to coordinate everything.

Easter Lilies Easter card

Welcome to my little space on the blog sphere!
 I hope your day is going well and you are finding some time to be creative.
Today's post is the first of several Easter cards I plan to post over the next several weeks/

This card uses heat embossing you can find links to a heat embossing tutorial and several other cards using heat embossing under my tutorial tab or by clicking here

If you like to purchase my card you can find it here at my shop.

I die-cut the pieces for the sentiment and it's backing and layered up the heat embossed image with several other layers of card stock to give the card some sturdiness and weight.

I used Copic markers to color in the image after it was embossed. I don;t recommend doing that because it will ruin your Copic markers. I learned the hard way!

I also stamped a coordinating envelope. it was my crafty goal this year to include a decorated envelope for each card and if possible some coordinating image inside the card too. So far so good on the resolution!

Have a Great day!
