And now.....for my TWO projects :)

Here are TWO card sets I made.

The first one up; a few weeks ago I made a popsicle stick card.  I thought they were so cute I decided to made a card set to sell at my craft fairs I do.  This is my fruity version.  I did TWO of each color.  I paper pierced the lemons, limes, and oranges and added some glossy accents to them.

The second one here is another gift card set, but this one is an All Occasion set to sell.  It has TWO thank cards, TWO happy birthday cards, and TWO friendship cards.  Also, with this set I only used TWO pieces of pattern paper to create all of it (including the box).

Thank you so much for visiting me today!  Hop on over to see my practical friend ERIN next!

Nothing Says Summer like Strawberries & Popsicles!

I made this card for the CARDS challenge over @ the Create blog. & I combined my two favorite things about summer; strawberries and popsicles. The challenge this week was t use twine. I drew my own strawberry shapebon a piece ogres cardstock, cut it out, covered it in glue, then used a pair of tweezers to place my twine (working from the outside in). I really like how this turned and have decided i'm going to create some more using other fruit/flavors and make it a gift set!
You will also see this card coming up on a special feature this coming weekend on Practical Scrappers so stay tuned to find out all about it!
Thanks for stopping in!
