Embellished cards


It all started with this Mother card. I made the Mother card for a challenge at Embellish Magazine.

I mean, how could you not be inspired by that color board?

After creating the Mother card, I had all these wonderful papers and embellies out... and then came the Baby cards.

baby 2
baby 3
So now I have this family of retro kitschy vintage-y cards.

Christmas bling

So here's yet one more Christmas card....
I'll post a non-Christmas card next time, to switch things up...lol
I made this one a couple of weeks ago. I haven't really been in a crafting mood as of late, but I need to get on it because I have a mile long list of projects to finish up!


Cardstock is from the DCWV neutrals stack...oh I hate that stuff for card bases...lol, I was Just trying to use it up but now I regret using it on this card. Its so flimsy. Great for the cricut though...
The patterned paper is Jenni Bowlin and K&Company.


Stamps are from Papertrey Ink, Studio G,and you probably can't see the snowflakes stamped in Ranger Distress antique linen, BUT those are Inkadinkado. Other ink color is Ranger Distress Fired Brick.


All the blingy swirls are Michael's store brand (Paperstudio? Reminisce? I can't remember...)
I made that sparkly star by cutting chipboard (cardboard from packaging) and glittering it with this great chunky glitter from Joanns. You can find that glitter in the kids craft section, it comes in little tubes. 


The lace is a ribbon roll I bought on clearance at Walmart. The seam binding ribbon was bought from Prairie Bird Boutique on Etsy. 

So after posting these pictures I noticed my lace ribbon is totally crooked...why didn't I notice that before I photographed it!? O well. C'est la vie. 
Also... I can't seem to get my tension ,on my sewing machine, correct for sewing on paper. I love the look but  i've the bobbin thread is always just sitting on top of the card instead of pulling through. Any tips?
