This card was pretty involved, but the results were worth it!  I die cut the Star Quilt Die a whole lot of times, from white and light blue cardstock, and from patterned paper.  I then built all the quilt squares from the various pieces.  I mounted them on a kraft base, trimmed edges, tied a silver cord bow around it, and added the sentiment.

Congratulations! (Becky Carafa)

Congratulations!

by Becky Carafa


This card was inspired by the colors.  Soft peach, olive-y green, and just a bit of gray.  My first step was to cut all the flowers.  I cut them twice each, from peach and lime cardstock.  I cut the leaves off the peach flowers and glued them on top of the lime ones.  I placed the flowers where I wanted them, then watercolored some patches underneath.  Once that panel dried, I glued all the flowers on and trimmed the edges.  I stamped the Congratulations on a gray strip, and layered it and a scalloped piece on the flower panel.  The whole flower panel is popped up, and I added some sequins last.

Birthday Present (Becky Carafa, guest designer)

Birthday Present

by Becky Carafa



As soon as I saw the Tied Strings die, I knew I would use it to make a present. 
I started with a panel of patterned paper, and cut two Tied Strings.  I glued one horizontally on the patterned paper, leaving the center unglued so I could tuck the second string under it.  I cut the bow off the second string, lined it up under the first one, and glued it down.  The bow that was cut off got glued on to make the present bow, and a candy dot is the center of the bow.  I stamped two little sentiments on green flags and added them to the present.
