Cup of Happiness

Today’s card is just a explosion of fun colors. I adore the Needlepoint Nook DSP which is a surprise. I just usually gravitate to the feminine and country style papers, but this pack is just too beautiful. This pattern isn’t textured, but it sure looks like it! Love the detail. I decided to really showcase the paper and add a simple image of a coffee cup and some accessories. This card just makes me happy.

Quilted Layers

Today’s card was created for a friend’s craft retreat. I wanted to so something fairly easy yet with lots of fun textures. I started with embossing a piece of same color cardstock as the card base. From there I added some pieces of fun DSP. Seriously love the colors and patterns in the new Needlepoint Nook DSP pack. From there I added some ribbon for more texture and fun sequins. I finished my card off with a great sentiment made even better by sponging on some ink to highlight a few words. In total, I made six different color and pattern combos for the craft retreat.
