I'm loving shimmer trim! These were a project from a meeting that I never got around to creating. I did take a lot of inspiration from a fellow consultant Sara Batkin. She's amazing and I have learned a lot from her!
When Corporate gave us the project they gave us all the small pieces of card stock precut. All the patterned pieces are from a My Crush book that we took apart! I love thinking outside the box like that. I never would have considered taking one apart to create cards or even scrapbook layouts. I'll have those for you next. Below are the cards that I created.
The cards are 5.5"x4.25". I really enjoyed making these cards. I'm trying to get into more of a groove creating more often. I always say our hobby is preserving memories and making heartfelt crafts not buying pretty stuff to sit on a shelf!
The card below was inspired by a recent baby announcement. They are having a boy but I thought how perfect because babies are such a wonderful gift!
Every now and then I happen to craft while the kids are awake. That also happens to be when I make mistakes and have to come up with something to fix it. For this card I asked my 6 year old what color combinations he liked best and what ink colors he thought I should use. I like to see what my kids come up with because sometimes their ideas work out really well!
For this card I used liquid glass on the centers of the flowers. I really like how it adds something but isn't over the top.
The piece that says love is vellum. This is one of those cards that had an accident but you would never know. I had already attached the background paper to the card base. Then I attached the vellum piece, only I was watching and talking to the kids. So I attached it to the side that opens, it was upside down. Then I tried to gently pull it off and ripped it! So that wasn't going to work. I just decided to cut the card in half and save the work I had done. I added the navy piece and shimmer trim to hide the tear and the adhesive.
