BIRTHDAY CARD WITH WANT2SCRAP®

I created a fun girly Birthday card that features some beautiful White Rose Ribbon and Pearls from Want2Scrap.  The 6" x 6" card base was created out of hot pink Bazzill cardstock and the design paper is from Echo Park.

Next I adhered the 1.5" White Rose Ribbon with Scor-Tape to the card front and then added Self Adhesive Hot Pink Pearls to the center of each rose.

I then adhered the self adhesive Swirls - White Pearls - 4" x 4" to the upper right corner and then added some more of the  72 Count - Hot Pink Pearls.  I stamped the sentiment from Heartfelt Creations on Neenah Solar White Paper that had been die cut with Spellbinders Labels One and matted it on hot pink Bazzill cardstock that had been die cut with Spellbinders Scalloped Labels One.  Finally, I finished by adding some Baby Bling Pearls in White to the edges of the Scalloped Labels One.

Have a great day!

CREATE WITH WANT2SCRAP® & GRAPHIC 45®

Today on the Want2Scrap Blog I am sharing a sewing inspired card that I created using Want2Scrap® and Graphic 45® products.  The design paper I used for this 6" x 6" card is from Graphic 45® Couture 6 x 6 Patterns & Solids paper pack.

The sewing machine and scissors are from the Sewing Notions - Chipboard Embellishment set.  With a sponge paint brush I used DecoArt® Traditions - Carbon Black on the sewing machine and DecoArt® Metallic Lustre - Silver Spark on the scissors.  The word "create" and the button are from the Printer's Tray by Candy Rosenberg Embellishment Set and I used DecoArt® Dazzling Metallics - Peacock Pearl paint on those items.  I added May Arts twine to the button holes before adhering it to the card front using Art Glitter Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.  

Finally,  I added Black Rhinestones and Silver/Clear Rhinestones and finished the card with seam binding and a bow!  Have a great day!

GRAPHIC 45 and WANT2SCRAP CROSS PROMOTION

I am excited to announce the Want2Scrap Design Team is partnering with Graphic 45 and we were given a generous supply of Graphic 45® design paper and embellishments.  You will get to see some amazing projects with the awesome G45 and Want2Scrap products over the next several months!  Today I am sharing a card I created using the wonderful Graphic 45® Couture collection and Want2Scrap® embellishments. The 6" x 6" card base is created out of Bazzill cardstock and Graphic 45® Couture Collection - Gorgeous design paper.  

I added some May Arts Ribbon and then inserted the Want2Scrap® Decorative Pin Jewels - Gold Color  through the bow.  In the corner I adhered the Swirls Finesse - Black Rhinestones and added a purple pearl from my stash of Purple Bulk Bling Pearls.  

I fussy cut the image from Graphic 45® Couture Collection - Elegant design paper and then matted it on coordinating colored Bazzill cardstock before adhering it to the card front.  Then with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive I added Art Glitter Ultrafine Transparent Ensalada Glitter to the peacock feathers on the design paper.  Finally I finished by adding  a couple more of the Purple Bulk Bling Pearls and a Sage Green Pearl to the bottom right corner.

A quick and easy card, but very elegant!  Have a great day!
