All those who see my work occasionally know that I always make a mistake or two but I end up loving those mistakes. For this card, I used the wrong glue on some of my flowers and when I added glitter, the glitter clumped up into balls. So once the flowers dried, I added some all purpose glue and just poured the glitter on! Take a look below.

Materials

5.5in x 4.25in pattern card
white & silver embossed paper
blue bling lace
mulberry paper flowers
mulberry paper leaves
metallic lace
square bling lace
glue gun, glue sticks, tacky glue, all-purpose glue, ruler

Beauty Pink and Blue Card

Today I would like to show you a new technique I tried out. I will be posting two examples using this method: Beauty Pink and Blue Card and Thank You Embossed Card. The technique that I tried for the first time is embossing. I purchased a watermark pen, embossing powder, and an heating gun. If I had more time, I would love to post a quick video, so I will try later. This technique is relatively simple and amazing to watch. My latest card features the word Beauty. I wrote the word on vellum paper and covered the wet ink with black embossing powder. I shook off the excess and then used the heating gun to melt the powder. I might have overheated a little because small bubbles appeared in a few spots. The heating gun gets real hot real fast. I using an xacto knife to cut around the word, however I did not cut out the center of the B, so you may see that in the photos. Other than that, I adhered it to my card that I decorated with lovely flowers and faux pearls.

Lots of photos! Take a look below.

Happy Birthday Blue Card

Today, I tried another Happy Birthday Card but a little different this time. Of course, I still used paper flowers, but I have been seeing new examples around numerous blogs and wanted to go out of my comfort zone. I am learning and transitioning using different techniques, so thank you all for awesome ideas.

I used two different tones of blue and cut the lighter blue paper smaller than the card. I never do this, so this small step was actually very new to me. I always use mulberry paper flowers. I probably will never stray away from this but I did use something different - my leaves. I bought a leaf vine punch out and used those instead of my mulberry paper leaves. And, I couldn't find any extra happy birthday stickers, so I handwrote happy birthday in a black marker and outlined the left sides with a navy blue ball point pen.

White Beauty Card

Hello! Here is an example of a tall card full of paper flowers, leaves, and faux pearls. I used a different method this time when decorating my leaves and flowers. I bought a new punch that punches out leaf vines. Unfortunately, it was quite expensive for the large size, but it works and I like the outcome. I made this card larger than my others and I decided to choose colors opposite of each other. The cardstock itself is a light turquoise green color and I used purple tone flowers. Take a look below and tell me what you think. I named this card White Beauty simply because of the color of the Beauty die-cut. :)
