A Simple Time

 

This week's card takes us back in time. It takes us to a time that was much simpler when there were no cell phones, no computers and if you wanted to get something done you needed to use good old fashioned elbow grease. 

I created this card using multiple steampunk/old fashioned type washi tape cut in squares for the background. If you look closely, one of the squares is the pre embossed faux leather Eyelet Outlet offers at their shows. 

Attached to the base are three tags, each bejeweled and embellished with multiple old fashioned type brads and bling. The card is finished off with multiple large, stippled jewels and several different chip board sentiments. 

This is a fun card that will be sure to brighten anyone’s day and bring them back to a simpler time.

May You Weather The Storm

 We all know friends or family that are going through difficult times. Sending a note of encouragement is a great way to let them know you are thinking about them!

In creating this card, I started with a 6x6 base and created stripes using the "vintage desktop" washi tape and patterned papers. I stamped my sentiment and layered on cardstock adding a compass stamped image. Lastly, I embellished with the adorable and new cruise brads. I hope you enjoy and are inspired to send a note of cheer to encourage someone today!
