Birthday Girl

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am sharing a card made with three pretty patterned papers from K&Company. This is the Classic K Charlotte two-sided patterned paper pad.  Of course, I like pink and green! Also I like how the different patterned papers work together bringing in the blue color. Card measures 5" x 7" cut from cream cardstock.
Cricut Cartridge
Storybook - Page 72 - Accent/Frame feature- Birthday Girl is cut 3.1" using Cricut Craft Room. Frame is pop-dotted for more dimension.

Other supplies include 2 sizes of Recollection pearls. Crochet lace trim is from a crafting friend. Two pink strands of crewel embroidery thread accents the middle section of the card. Ribbon is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces.
Maybe I should have added more embellishments but I did not want to hide the pretty papers!

FCCB - Ch. 166 - Frame It

Happy Summer! We have been having hot weather so it has been a good time to stay inside and craft!
My card is cut 5" x 7" from cream cardstock. Papers are from a beautiful DCWV paper pad. Love the pinks and greens! The background paper and the pink paper for the rectangle mat have some glitter but my camera did not capture the glitter.

Mother's Day Bouquet - Flower 3 is cut 2.25, 2, and 1.5".

Lace from my stash is slightly gathered to create ruffles around the mat. Other supplies include Recollections Pearls and Versa Magic Gingerbread inking.

I think my card can be used for wedding, anniversary, friendship, or birthday. There are so many wonderful memories in life to cherish!
