Congratulations Card 0001

Pebbles, Inc. by American Crafts has quickly became one of my favorite paper crafts design companies.  The polaroid card is from their "From Me to You" collection.  

A 12 x 12 sheet contained 12 cards.  I cut them all out and used them for cardmaking.  They could have easily fit any pocket scrapbooking album. 

Birthday Card 0001

I love buttons!  I found this super cute patterned paper and I wanted to make birthday cards with it.  

The "Happy Birthday!" tag was hand stamped and hand punched.  The flower and paper button were hand punched and tied together with string.  

MATERIALS:

• Circle, oval, flower and button punches
• Stamp and ink 
• String

Thank You Card 0002

I like bold and bright patterned paper.  I found several colors of gingham patterned paper and wanted to make thank you cards.  I wanted to limited the colors that were incorporated.  I like cards with bold contrasts without a lot of fuss. 

The "thank you" sentiment was hand stamped in blue ink with khaki matting underneath.  I picked a coordinating khaki button to finish off the card.  

MATERIALS:

• patterned paper
• stamp and ink 
• button
