If you have come here from Haley Dyer's blog, you are on the right path! If this is your first stop, you may want to go back to Erin's blog and start from the beginning! This is simple do to — just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go...
I am highlighting a new Paper Packet called Grace. It is beautiful and very versatile. I am going to show you 4 cards and a layout. I know it is a lot, but I wanted to show that you can do so many different things with this paper. (You can click on any photo to make it larger so you can see more detail.)
I love flowers and I love distressing, so I thought I would incorporate a little of both in this first card.
My second card is a tri-shutter card. You can find the instructions for making these fun cards here.
The third card is a very simple thank you card that uses one of my favorite tools—my corner rounder. I used it to make the scallops on the edge.
My last card is actually a recessed window card that I posted last week. I wanted to post it again because I added some stamping to the border which I think makes it look a little better. You can see the original card along with more details here.
And last but not least is my layout. It isn't anything fancy, but I think it highlights the paper nicely.
I love the large flowers on the patterned paper. I cut this one out and raised it with some Foam Tape.

I used the Simple Alphabet Dimensional Elements for the title. They come white which was a little stark on this layout, so I sponged some Bamboo ink on them to soften them up a bit.The crocheted flowers come in the White Daisy Mini-Medley pack. I dyed them with Barn Red and Twilight Re-inkers. Then I added a self-adhesive Pearl in the middle. (You can get a package of the beautiful pearls by joining my Connections Club! Ask me how.)

ReplyDeleteLove all the cute projects you made.
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful as usual, great work!
ReplyDeleteWow! There is so much here and it is all amazing. I like how you added the pearl to the stamping on that card - it looks like a rubon! I think my favorite is the tri-shutter card.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are all gorgeous - what a great source of inspiration! TFS!
ReplyDeleteReally like your recessed window card. And the stamping that you added to the background really finishes it nicely.
ReplyDeleteLisa your stuff is always amazing- nice job!

ReplyDelete(Picking my jaw up off my desk)
ReplyDeleteWow! Once again, you have outdone yourself! Hmmm...4 cards and a layout, huh? Curiously that is similar to the number of swap items....off to say some prayers to the swap fairy that Lisa got the Grace papers! :)
Your artwork is fantastic as always.
ReplyDeleteOh my Goodness, Over-Achiever! I love ALL of your projects you posted- especially the pearls on the lettering! And I loved your recessed window card before, but you are right, the added stamping on the outside is AMAZING!
