Hello notecards

Hello Friends! Are you having a good week? Hopefully spring is around the corner in your neck of the woods. We've been having some beautiful weather lately, highs in the low 80's but even better than that, little to no humidity! Talk about good hair days! LOL!

Today I have a couple of cards to share with you that I absolutely love. Gold foil is all the rage right now and I have to say that I've jumped on the bandwagon and I'm holding on for dear life! I'm loving this look! Last month, Papertrey Ink (PTI) came out with gold foil patterned paper...GENIUS, and of course I had to snag a set! I pulled them out for the first time over the weekend and just about all of the work is already done for you. Check this out...

Can you stand it?! So, the patterned paper already has the gold foil polka dots as well as the rectangle in the middle. All I had to do was heat emboss the sentiment with gold embossing powder, add the little pink heart, and voila, done! The hello stamp is also a new set from PTI called Swoosh, and trust me you'll be seeing this set often! I adhered the card front to Raspberry Fizz cardstock just to give a little color on the back and inside. I'm going to leave the inside blank because I think these are the perfect little notecards, so you can just jot a little note and drop it in the mail. Easy peasy!

 

I hope the rest of your week is great, and I'm so happy you stopped by!

Little Notes and a Notepad

Hello Friends! Happy Saturday! I'm so glad that it's finally the weekend, it's been one busy work week! Do you have any plans today? Well, I'm hoping that the rain holds off here because I was planning on taking Paige to a Family Fun Day with a bounce house and petting zoo...we shall see.

Today I have a couple of cute projects to share. The first is a set of little notecards. These could actually be used as gift enclosure cards because they are really small! Silhouette has been sending weekly emails with projects that can be done with the Silhouette. This was one of the projects and since it used the gold foil, you know I had to do it!

 Aren't they cute! And the file came with the little notecards, the bubble words, AND the envelopes! I was able to whip these up really quickly and I think they turned out great! I also made a notepad. You know I love my notepads! This time I used patterned paper from Silhouette, it's so cool that I can print my own patterned paper...I LOVE my Silhouette!

You guys also know that I love me some vintage typewriters, so when I saw the PP, I knew I had to make a notepad! The little pink typewriter at the bottom "Hello Gorgeous" was also print and cut with my Silhouette. I was going to give this little beauty away, but I really think I want to tuck it in my purse! LOL! Well, I'm getting ready to have a little breakfast, and play with Paige. I hope you all have a great day and a wonderful weekend.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Gold foil thank you

Hello Friends! Happy Tuesday! My company was closed yesterday so it was really nice to have a day off. And, I used my day off wisely by crafting my little heart out! I will have some cute stuff to share with you in the coming days and I'm really working hard towards one of personal goals of crafting more and sharing more on the blog! Today's card was truly inspired by this post by Amber Kemp-Gerstel who is ridiculously talented! I bought Silhouette gold foil a while ago and have been dying to do something with it! When I saw Amber's post I knew that was just the way to get my feet wet. The foil is adhesive backed so it makes it a dream to work with! Here's my version of Amber's card:

I made this card for my sweet friend Leslie's husband. We are planning on having a booth at one of the many crafty events in my area towards the end of the year. Patrick agreed to let Leslie come down, and I had to let him know how much I appreciate it. For this card, I cut the gold foil in 1/4 inch strips and tried to adhere them on my card as straight as I possibly could! The thank you sentiment was of course cut from my Silhouette, I absolutely love that font! Quick, easy, and cute, three of my favorite words! :-)

 

That's it for me today, I hope you enjoyed the post and I hope you have a great day!

 

Thanks for stopping by!
