Hello Spring

Spring has sprung!!!
Which means some days it is sunny and others it pours rain.
Kreaxions Punch #912 has the perfect graphic for this season.
~Hello Spring~
The flower is made using a strip of paper punched with #912. I inked the edges then curled the paper into a circle. I slipped one end under and hot-glued it to the front of my card.
This is the perfect flower to make from scraps.

Supplies:
Paper:My Minds Eye, Craftsmith
Sentiment:Authentique
Cork:American Crafts
Enamel Dot:Echo Park
Ink:CTMH
Punch:Kreaxions #912

Scrap On!

Life Is a Gift

I'm thankful every morning for running water. 
I'm thankful for indoor plumbing.
I'm thankful for a sturdy house and reliable vehicle.
I'm thankful for all my friends, crafty and otherwise!!!
Sometimes it's necessary to slow down and remember:
~ Life is a Gift ~
Crafting with Kreaxions punches is the quickest way to custom make paper doilies. A plethora of designs and sizes are just a circle cutter and punch away. Keeping a few paper doilies on hand allows for quick card making. I keep a sweet little bin with paper accessories ready on my crafting desk. Try it out, see if you can squeeze just a few more minutes to craft out of your day!

Supplies:
Paper:My Minds Eye, Craftsmith
Sequins:Lawn Fawn
Brads and Enamel Dots:Echo Park
Ink:CTMH
Punch:Kreaxions #910

Shine Bright

A little bit of layering and simple color scheme define this card.
Hand made paper doilies add a bit of vintage charm.
 ~ Shine Bright ~
These four doilies were made from the same size circles and Kreaxions Punch #916. To get the smaller pair of doilies I used a craft knife to join the punched designs. The negative made a nice swirly frame for another project.
To add a bit of whimsy to this card I used a hexagon embossing folder to frame the sentiment.

Supplies:
Paper:Craftsmith, My Minds Eye
Metalic Rub:Ink-a-Gold
Ribbon:Stash
Embossing Folder:Darice
Punch #916 and Positioning Pieces:Kreaxions
