Happy 100 Days Baby Girl Pink Quilled Roses Card

I made a quick baby card for my co-worker who needed a last minute one for a 100th day celebration. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this term, it is a traditional celebration for a newborn 100 days after their birth. It is commonly observed by Korean and Chinese families. In addition to this day, I know that the Chinese have a gathering on the first full month/full moon after the baby is born. For this particular celebration, it is the first official introduction of the baby to relatives and close friends. Are there any such celebrations in your culture?

The baby feet were chalked and then a layer of glitter was applied sparingly to it. 3 various sized roses were quilled. 

This interior also sports the same footsies from Cuttlebug. 

Enjoy!

Quilling Purple Flowers Farewell Card for Raena

Who's playing Powerball this weekend? $600 mil?! We can dream, right? :D

Today another work study has left us. We're always sad to see each and every one of them go, but let's face it...this was only the beginning and there are a lot of places for career growth elsewhere.

I made her a farewell card. It's one of the more delicate looking cards that I've made recently. I don't know why I feel that way. It may be the lace fabric ribbon! It's on a pretty shimmery pinkish-colored cardstock base by Bazzill. There's a lot of chalking for the background, but the 2D flowers and pot were stamped. Flower centers were dotted with liquid pearls. It may be a bit hard to see, but the rim of the pot is made from 2 cut strips of paper using edger scissors. The petals of the quilled flowers were shaped into an arrow-like shape. Then finished off with rhinestones.

I really like this one. I hope you do too!

Black and White Butterflies Silhouette Cards

The week's challenge is almost coming to an end!

I wanted to put in one more ounce of muscle with these cards. They're really quick and simple to make actually. The paper is from DCWV's La Creme Matstack and the butterflies were just die cut in different sizes. I dabbed a bit of Versamark Dazzle Ink on them to give them a bit of a sparkle, but not too much. That's it!

This was also entered in the April Paper Crafts Connection Challenge.

Going to a comedy show in a few minutes in Long Island City. Hope I don't get picked on! :D

Have a great weekend!

Stickers: Cards with Speed

For the crafters who don't mind price, but desire quality and speedy results--stickers. Some stickers are so beautifully detailed that they sit wonderfully as the centerpiece of the card. You just need minimal embellishment to create a clean, yet thoughtful looking card. Stickers are also a great way to engage your children in the activity of card making. As you know, many young children find excitement in stickers of all kinds.

Many of you may be familiar with EK Success's Jolee's line. They are extremely detailed-oriented in their products. To the right is a card that I created with Jolee's Wedding Cake sticker. All you need is your cardstock, an elegantly designed pattern paper, some ribbon, glue, and optional embellishments. The sticker itself comes with self-adhesive. The two photos show how it glistens under different angles and light.

Until next time--Have fun!
