Pink and Brown Birthday Celebration

Here's a quick post of handmade wrapping.

Sparkly foamies cut into a bow.

Recycled can good. Flower created by die cutting a large scallop circle, cutting inside and wrapping around itself. Leaves are handcut.

Flat cards

Flat cards? What are they? Lol, they are not "folded cards", they are "flat cards". I had to google up the meaning. Anyway, someone gave me some beautiful black A6 envelopes and to save on paper, I decided to make some flat cards. Here are my first two:

Stamp called Surfer Ian By Greeting Farms using Copic pens.

Stamp called Mariko by Sister Stamps.

June Tea Swap - Summer

Dori received this card from Miyuki......fabulous!

June Tea Swap - Summer

June's tea swap theme was "Summer" and here's Dori's card for Miyuki

and the inside.  What a refreshing idea!!

Summer Tea Swap

The theme for this month's tea swap is summer!! Here's a geometrically designed card. I love the smooth lines. The "slippa" diecut is from Papertrey Inc.

Half--a Card

Love this flower!  It's a stamp from Be Happy, Hero Arts.   I did some copic coloring and added Liquid Pearls.

So, you are probably wondering why this post is called "Half-a Card".  I stamped about 4 of these flowers, colored them while watching TV and when I got back to my scrapping room, added a scallop base from Spellbinders.  Then they are put in my drawer for last minute tags or cards (Not a completed card, just "half a card".  Get it??).  If a tag is needed, I can just punch a hole on the top and add a ribbon and maybe add a sentiment.

If a card is needed, I'll just add it to a base like this and embellish it if needed.

For this gift, no envelope is needed; just place it in clear packaging.  I love the vibrancy of the flower!
