The Story

So what did you do this weekend? I hope you did something fun! We spent time getting the yard in shape for a new season and time for outdoors! And now it's Monday all over again and time to write another chapter in your story of life!

Pretty Little Studio's Document Life Collection celebrates life's little victories..even if it's just making it through the daily grind. You'll love the office inspired elements complete with tags, tabs and days of the week embellishments.

My card features three Rise & Shine Tags topped with Heather Rectangle labels, and then a few more embellishments like sentiments from Seen & Noted - Color die cut pack and Just Because Word Flags cut aparts.

Clear Stitches Stickers make great stitching accents. I love that they're clear so you can see the background colors peeking through.

It's a new day.. time to start your own story - document the things that make you happy and remember to keep smiling!

Graphic 45 Dreamland Collection

Are you looking for a sweet escape? I know I am!! You never have to ask me twice!  I appreciate having a hobby to keep my hands busy and my mind on positive thoughts.and sometimes a trip to magical places like Dreamland from Graphic 45.

  

The Graphic 45 Dreamland Collection is just the ticket! It captures sunshine, moonbeams and a little fantasy all at the same time! The pretty papers are shades of yellow, reds and blues. The papers capture images of mermaids, fairies, of taking flight and setting sail – all the things dreams are made of.
  

Whenever I get my hands on a new collection, I pop out all the chipboard pieces, add baby powder to the backs of the stickers and sort through all the die cut pieces. It helps to know exactly what you have before you start making and let’s face it, a treat for the eyes is always welcome.

I lay out the images on sheets of clear plastic the same size as my card base so I can mix and match to my heart’s content before I commit and adhere them in place. Here’s a peek at eight of the cards I made with this collection in progress.

The plastic sheets make it easy to pick up the entire sheet and lay it over different pattern papers and layouts. Because the sheets are clear the paper shows through and I know exactly what my cards will look like!

Let the Graphic 45 Dreamland Collection sail you to far away places that you can only find in your dreams!

Birch Press Design Field of Blooms

Thanks for stopping by! Today I'm sharing a simple card made with the Field of Blooms layered die set.

This card is simple to make by cutting three dies and stacking and adhering them together. The simplicity of the design means you can make lots of cards quickly for different occasions.

The top layer is simple white card stock, the next two layers are orange and violet. The two colored layers create the tulip colors. When you adhere it to a green panel - like magic - the leaves become visible. I used cardstock from Memory Box - it's the perfect weight and there are so many colors to choose from!

You won't want to cover your beautiful panel once it's assembled so a simple sentiment is best. I added a strip of vellum to soften the colors and make the Lingo Thanks sentiment more visible.

If you look close you'll see that the panel has a debossed pattern on it too! I love the clean lines and easy way the layered designs come together.
