Glitter and Color

I’ve found myself using really bright, fun colors lately on my cards.  Maybe it’s the weather turning colder and I’m trying to hang onto the sunny days a little longer.

I made this happy card and gave it to my beautiful cousin for her 4th 39th birthday .

It features lots of shapes cut with my Cricut, Making Memories metal letters and eyelets, and glitter for bling.  I was going for a ‘clean’ feel so I left the background stark white.

I also made this thank you card.

More paper from stash, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Prima flowers, Making Memories buckle andof course more glitter!

Gotta love the BLING!

Attempt at a Celtic Theme

I was going through some of my pictures of cards I have made over the last several months and came across this one I made this past summer for a dear friend.  I thought I’d share it here, even though it’s an older one.

I was going for a Celtic feel, which proved to be quite hard.  There is not a lot of Celtic/Gaelic themed items out there.  (If there are, I’d love to know where to find them).  These rub-ons were the closest I could find to a Celtic feel, in the color I wanted.

I used fiber paper on the front, combined with antique ribbon, and some lovely buckles.  It’s a very simple card, and also one of my favorites.
