Pink Paislee | C'est La Vie Cards

This is a personal blog. All editorial content and projects are intellectual property of http://canoncreativegirl.blogspot.com/.  I do receive financial compensation and material product from Pink Paislee to develop my craft posts, but all ideas and opinions are my own.



When I received the C'est La Vie collection, I just couldn't wait to sit down and play with all the beautiful embellishments.  Those cork hearts!!  And the mirrored stickers!!  So fabulous!

I whipped up a couple of quick cards using some of my favorite pieces from the collection.

I kept the themes simple so that they can be used as everyday cards.  I try to keep a lot of those on hand to send out when a friend or loved one needs a card.

The simple Me + You theme of my love card could be used as a Valentine's day card, Anniversary card or everyday card.

This collection should be shipping to retailers soon!  I hope you get the chance to pick some of it up.

collection used: C'est La Vie

American Crafts | Flowers

Hi everyone,

This week on the American Crafts blog is Flowers week.  I had a card that was on the blog earlier this week featuring flowers, made with the Amy Tangerine Rise and Shine collection.

Create instant flowers for your projects using metal dies.  You can layer them together for a big impact.

Supplies: Dear Lizzy Serendipity (369224) - dies, Dear Lizzy Serendipity (369220) - Watercolor Words,  Amy Tangerine Rise And Shine (370034) Epoxy Stickers, Amy Tangerine Rise And Shine (370044) - Paper Clips Gold, Amy Tangerine Rise And Shine (370025) - 6"x6" Paper Pad, Cardstock (AM710-81) - White

How To: Create a 5"x5" card base and fold in half.  Using the Dear Lizzy Serendipity dies, die cut flowers from different pieces of pattern paper included in the 6"x6" Paper Pad.  Curl up edges of flowers and layer them onto the card.  With a sewing machine add messy stitching to some of the flowers.  Flick black spray mist across the card.  Adhere "Hello" watercolor word to the center of card using liquid adhesive.  Finish by embellishing card with epoxy sticker and paper clip.
