Outside of the card!  I love the Miracle paper packet!


This is how it looks when you pull the card out.

Close up of the inside of the card.

I just love this stamp set and it came at the perfect time for Easter. I used ribbon to attach the inside card stock for a little different look than the normal folding of the card and just working with the outside and inside of the card. I'm hoping to start working more with this stamp set before my maternity leave ends and then I will have more on my blog.

The outside of the card


I put the card together by running ribbon out the outside which holds the paper inside of the card to the base of the card.

Spring Time

So okay....we were really spoiled with the weather we had this past week and than the weather hit us with freezing rain, sleet and lots of snow.  I was sure hoping for spring time!  I made a Spring card hoping that it would help bring spring faster.  I think that is my wishful thinking.   The lighting on this card isn't the greatest.  The office doesn't have good lighting and it was too dark outside!


Supplies used: All CTMH and available!


Paper: Mayberry Level 2 packet



Stamps: Springtime

 
Inks: Black and Cotton Candy


Tools:  Scissors, tape and pop dots

This little card is easily pulled out to add a message to your card!


I'm really happy with the way this card turned out.  I found a pattern on Scor-Pal's website called, "Criss Cross Pocket Card."  I thought it was unique and something I have never done before.  I added a belly band to dress up the outside of the card.  For the inside of the card I made it pretty simple.  I used all the matching papers from the Wings level 2 Paper Packet!  Hope you enjoy!
