Pemberly Love You Card

My final card for my workshop, and it's my first foray into shaker cards. Yes, I am so behind the times, but I was never brave enough to try one of these. I started with the Peek-a-boo challenge from Little Red Wagon and tried various means to have a window or something you could peek through. Using my Cricut, I figured out how to add a heart cut-out to a shaped die-cut, but my original ideas all fizzled until I tried making it into a shaker. I love how it turned out with the heart cut-out and the small hearts inside the shaker!

Buzz & Bumble Friend Card

Time for another Buzz & Bumble card for my upcoming workshop. This card was inspired by the cute sketch on the Paper Secrets blog. I loved the examples from the design team, so I though I'd try my hand at creating a card, too. No fancy techniques since it has to be mass produced at a workshop, but I like the way it came out and can't wait to send it to a friend.

Dakota Card Workshop

I haven't posted anything for a while because I've been so busy creating cards for my card workshops. I just finished a workshop last night, and here are the cards we created, 2 each of 6 designs. I wasn't enamored of the Dakota papers when my ladies picked them, but I really enjoyed the challenge of taking papers that weren't "my style" and making cards that were my style. Hope you like them!
