Find Joy Greeting Card

Hey there Peeps! Just dropping in with a greeting card so full of homespun country charm.

Yellow is not always my go to color…..but I’m quite please with it this time paired with warm woodsy brown.

 

Since it’s a countrified card, I’m adding burlap flowers and twine for a natural texture. Of course I added other more stylized flowers too to complete the arrangement.

This chevron ribbon makes the most perfect bow and topped off with the fancy brad, it’s just that much more awesome.

I always like the inside of my cards to be finished to coordinate with the outside.

If one die cut doily is good……then two must be better right? Last but not least a little clip and this card is ready to make someones day!

Okay that’s all for me. Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

Live Simply Greeting Card

Hey there Peeps! Well just dropping in after a busy weekend of activities and home reno projects. Sometimes you have to go back to work to get some rest lol. I’ve got a sweet little all occasion card to share with a lovely sentiment and lots of great layering.

Live Simply All Occasion Greeting Card

I used dies with a stitched border detail to create the background here and it give such a nice texture.

The sentiment is layered over a printed doily and banner die cut.

These flowers are so dreamy and coordinate perfectly with the color scheme.

I added borders of rich chocolatey brown cardstock to anchor the light colors and topped the card off with a petite bow and pearly accents.

Fall Harvest Greeting Card

Hey there Peeps!  Well despite the fact that I am not ready to give up on summer yet the nights are getting cooler and the trees are taking on their autumnal hues. I created this card with thoughts of brisk walks in the crisp leaves and hot cider and warm doughnuts.

 

I chose the frame chippie to give a finished border to the fox image.

Once I decided to alter the frame with antique gold embossing powder I knew it would be the perfect base for the Fall Harvest sentiment. I pulled the chartreuse color from the beautiful leaves in the image and I think it makes a wonderful accent.

Netting and flowers and ribbon and twine create a generous arrangement and helps to bring the fall colors to the outside edge of the card.

I added more of the flowers to the top being careful not to cover too much of the chipboard frame.

Pearly headed stick pins in a warm pumpkin color and coordinating sequins add the perfect not too flashy finishing touch.

I used the Flourished Frame Marie in an antique gold embossing powder finish and the harvest sentiment from theFall Shapes Set in a rich chartreuse embossing powder finish and heat set them to create a warm and welcoming accent to this Fall-Thanksgiving Card.

Retro Cherry Pie Greeting Card

Hey there Peeps! Well it’s no secret that I love all things retro and vintage. This card is created with fun and whimsical patterned papers and image paired with perfectly coordinating ribbons from RRR.

There is so much retro happening here!!!!! Aqua and red are a classic combination.

These ribbons are a match made in heaven for this iconic image.  A little tip when selecting sheer ribbon….this adorable ribbon with cherries was totally washed out when layered over the burlap so I just added it over a nice clean white so the cherries are crisp and really pop.

As with the ribbon…this focal image was a bit lost on the busy patterned papers so I just layered it over a doily die cut in white and now it’s really the star of the card.

Since I was on a roll with the cherries…I added it to the inside of the card as well.

Loads of pretty flowers, buttons, clips, pins and silver metal charms work so well with the theme so I added them all!!!!

Harvest Blessings Greeting Card

Hey there Peeps! Ginny here dropping in the the most falliest fall card I have ever made. 

I’ve got a very traditional turkey image layered over a cut apart tag and stacked on a pretty white doily and patterned papers.

I’m just going to call it right now….this taffeta ribbon is my favorite for fall 2017. It’s like orange…but sooooo vintagy. And it makes a lovely poofy bow.

I’m still working in the Autumn Harvest Ribbon Club selection and pulled out the gorgeous crocheted lace. A little twine wrapped around is the perfect finishing touch.
