All occasion card featuring a vintage sunflower image, gold photo corners and a coordinating background

For this all occasion card I started with the sunflower image which is laser printed on white cardstock (Pixabay).  Once trimmed out I found this cool geometric background in my stash and mounted my sunflower to it using gold photo corners.  I added a layer of metallic gold paper and then mounted this large element to the front of a green card.  Love the simplicity of this card and how well the elements coordinate!!  Therese

SISTER STASH - Christmas with vintage collage decorative paper and Christmas tags from Graphics Fairy

I made three more cards for my sister's Christmas card stash from the supplies she left here a while back.  These ones feature some beautiful decorative paper with the look of a vintage collage.  I cut out two pieces (8.25" x 5.25") and used the scraps to create the card above.  I created a tan card and added the two scraps trimmed to fit on my card.  I embossed the cut off from the card front with a script embossing folder and fish tailed the end.  I added a shimmery brown vintage seam binding over it tucking the left edge to the back and securing with double sided tape and trimming the other end with a fish tail to coordinate with the strip below.  I add this element to my card over the gap between the papers.   The six  Graphic Fairy tags were in a PDF which I printed on an ivory sheet of cardstock.  I trimmed out all six tags and chose this angel one for my first card.  I added a large brown eyelet to the top with my Crop a Dile and tied in some taupe cording leaving the ends to tangle to the left.  I decided to tuck them behind the 3D foam I put on the back when mounting my tag to the front of my card to keep them in place.  Love how it turned out!!!

For my next two I used dark brown cards.  I added brown grosgrain ribbon to the backgrounds adjusting the placement to leave as many images whole as I could.  I added three eyelets to each of the ribbons and then adhered the backgrounds to the brown card fronts.  I added a large brown eyelet to each tag, added some taupe seam binding using an over hand knot then added the tags to my card fronts using 3D foam tape.  I trimmed the ends diagonally on both.  I decided to not any other greetings as there are some on the tags and papers.   Therese
