Once Upon A Springtime

The new G45 paper line is amazingly cute! It's called Once Upon A Springtime and it's all a about fairies. All the paper is double-sided so it coordinates really well, I didn't even  have to look for something to match.






supplies:
g45 "Once Upon a Springtime" (fairy & b/g green floral)
Spellbinder "Lacey Circles" & "Elegant Tag" Dies
CB Organic Flourish Edge Folders
sparkly green ribbon
saying stamp "kind thoughts" & "fill your heart with sunshine and your heart with love" (for the inside)

Fairies Galore!

The G45 paper is genius! It's not just Vintage anymore, it's super cute fairies! Use the new G45 line "Once Upon A Springtime" paper for the fairies (2 different sheets for the center fairies and postage stamp fairies) (and 2 others for the inside: pink flowers and floating fairies) , Lacey Circles Die & Standard Circles Die, green ribbon, and CB embossing folder Shell Collage. Thread the ribbon through the Lacey Circle after you've cut it out of tan CS and adhered the fairies cut out from the Circles Die onto the center of it. Thread evenly so that  you can tie the end of the ribbon together and leave excess to hang off the card. The inside also contains the g45 paper on one side and a strip of tan edge punch with Ek Success Scalloped Edge Punch, & a tan Lacey Circle with pink flowers cut out with a Circle Die from another g45 fairy paper in the center.

A Danish Christmas

I made sooo many variations of this card because I loved it so much. They all have to same layout, but the picture is different for each one because I used the Graphic 45 Christmas Paper that looks like post cards so you can cut each out and slap it on a card easy as that. I used decorative edged scissors to cut them out, CB tag die, and CB Organic Flourish Border Set for the Coredinations Paper.

Brother & Sister

Supplies:
MME "Dreamy 2" Flower Paper
Basic Gray Paper (Green: backside has Christmas trees)
Spellbinders Large Scalloped Circles (Flower)
Spellbinders Labels Four (Flower Leaves)
Martha Stewart Edge Punch
Green Beads, Eye Pins, Hole Punch

This layout is simple to do but it was a little bit time consuming. The flower is just two different orange-y colors cut out from the Spellbinders Scalloped Circles, going one size smaller with each new layer. The leaves are cut out of green CS with Spellbinders Labels 4, the two smallest dies, and layered beneath the flower. I punched a hole in the center of the top flower.

The beads dangling beneath the pictures were placed on eye pins (for jewelry) and using a pliers like tool, make a loop on the other end of the pin that goes through the hole punched in the photo mats. Do this six times.
Note: Make sure that you've pop-dotted the pictures or the beads won't hang correctly.

I made this fun Christmas card for my mom to give away to her office-mates. She liked the first on that I made so I ended up making a couple more. It's a lot of distressing and my fingers ended up brown after every one of the cards got finished.

Supplies:
CB embossing folder "Scrollwork"
Spellbinders Classic Oval & Scalloped Oval Dies
Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink
A Cute Snowman Stamp (about 3")
Brown Flowers
Sheer Ribbon
Coco CS
