Spring may have sprung for many of you, but here in MN, Mother Nature is still trying to decide what season we’re in! We’ve had rain, sleet and snow this past week and today’s cards are making me want spring to come quickly! :)

This month I’m April’s Guest Designer over at Petaloo, WooHoo!!!  Many of you already use Petaloo, but if you haven’t heard of them, they have beautiful flowers and gorgeous embellishments and ribbon!  Be sure to check out all the fun HERE.  Here are a few cards I made for them that use a few other products I want to share with you.

This criss cross card uses Labels Detailz Dies, released yesterday at Lifestyle Crafts. Detailz Dies are dies that cut and emboss.   Isn’t this label pretty?  I love how Petaloo’s flowers and brads coordinate so well with the DP, Bella Blvd Spring Flings and Easter Things.

Here’s another card I made for Petaloo using Lockhart’s Vintage Apron stamp. I love this image and paper pieced it with Bella Blvd Spring Things and Easter Things “Borders”. The adorable resin rose is a Petaloo brad as well as the Mulberry flower/brad, and the perfect touch for this apron!   Now take a look at this cool gift bag…

Laurie has come up with a brilliant and innovative way to present a gift bag and card with her Card Hanger Dies. It’s a wonderful way to make sure your card doesn’t get lost in the bag! Here I used it for my gift bag, isn’t it pretty? I love how the card stock I used matches my bag perfectly!

The Card Hanger Die was so easy to use and really makes my gift bag look polished, don’t you think?  Hope you all have a great day!  :)

Happy Monday, everyone! I’m here to share a new product, Detailz Dies, from Lifestyle Crafts. What are Detailz Dies? They’re dies that cut and emboss and they’re gorgeous!

For this card I used Banners and Flags. I love the shape of the die cuts as well as how deep the embossing is.  The sentiment is from Moka Skylar (Taylored Expressions).

This card uses Songbird, which has this gorgeous cage and the bird is on my next card, below.  The mini butterflies are from Tag It.  I snipped where the butterfly is attached and added a small pearl to cover the perforation.  I love these little butterflies.

My last card uses the bird from Songbird and I love the natural feel it has.  Take a look at the embossed image!

Hey everyone! I saw on Pinterest these adorable bandaids someone made for their sick and feverish daughter, and thought, I can do that! I used the Nesting Card Templates to cut different sizes of bandaids and small scalloped & regular squares for the centers. I stitched them into place, added the velcro, and I was done! I should have cut the velcro so it would look more finished, but the baby was needing me and I was in a hurry. I used velcro that already had adhesive on it, found in the sewing section.

My daughter loved them!  Just as an FYI, the velcro sticks best on the furrier stuffed animals.  I think these are so cute and love the stuff I find on Pinterest!  If you decided to make your own and want to use the same dies, use my code POP to save 20% at checkout at Lifestyle Crafts.

Here are few more views of the Valentine Matchbook…I love this one! As you can see in the picture, I added a layer of white paper to the top of the mini note, so you can the heart separately.

The bottom row of notes fit perfectly inside of the matchbook.

Here are some mini boxes made with the Heart Box die. I kept them simple and added some washi tape…aren’t they cute?

Next I have Valentine cards I made using Heartbeat. How fun are these? I love how easy these were to make and they’re CAS…my favorite kind of card to make! If you want to see the cards photographed individually, click on the picture and it will take you to my Flickr account. I didn’t want you to have to wait forever for the other 5 pictures to load! :) The sentiments are from Heart Prints (Papertrey Ink stamps).
