Thinking of you card with a bright yellow and pink background, three glittery daisies and a layered greeting

For this stash card I started with a bright yellow and pink background which I created using ink leftover in my inkjet printer cartridge.  I found the greeting in my stash and trimmed it to size.  It is from Beccy's Place.   I watercoloured the rose and then trimmed a strip of coordinating pink cardstock and punched it with the Decorative Label Punch (SU) to make decorative edges.  I mounted the greeting to my background using two tiny black brads and then mounted this large element to a yellow card.  I added the three sparkly daisy embellishments with 3D foam tape.

Graduation card featuring lots of gold - stars, background paper, embossed greeting and brads

My next graduation card was created with lots of gold elements.  I started with a brown card.  I chose a shimmery gold background paper with broad stripes.  I added the gold embossed greeting and then trimmed the strip to the same width as the background and adhered it with two gold brads - one large star and one regular sized one then mounted it to my card front.  I added three star die cuts (SX) cut from gold cardstock.  I sponged their edges before mounting them with 3D foam tape to my card.

Father's Day card with a stitched fabric paper background, stitched green leather leaf and fun round greeting

This card has the same fabric paper which I used on my last card.  It has all over stitching in a variety of thread colours.  I trimmed it to size using my wavy cutter on the top and bottom.  I adhered this large background to my large ivory card which I created to fit in a large envelope from my stash.  I die cut a large tag, colour washed it with coordinating colours, adhered several pieces of torn dictionary pages and then embossed with my Scripty (SU) embossing folder.  I added some dark green ink to highlight the edges and the embossing.  I added yellow stitching to my green leather leaf (SX) and then adhered it to my tag using double sided tape.  I added a red ribbon to finish the tag before mounting it to my card using 3D foam tape.  I found this round greeting in my stash - it combines a round greeting with  a leaf and acorn image (Meljens Designs).  I watercoloured the image, layered it onto a coordinating red die cut circle and mounted it overlapping my tag on the lower right hand corner.  I tied a little piece of kraft twine to the stem of my leaf to finish off my card.
