Pincushion Thank-you Card by Gabrielle Pollacco

I just love all the beautiful sewing and stitchery designs in the new Pincusion collection so I thought for my first card using this lovely paper I would do a gather paper technique that is reminiscent of gathered fabric. Sometimes it is easier to show how a technique is done that it is to explain it, so I made up a video tutorial showing the making of this card from start to finish (see below after the close-up).

I combined the Pincushion patterned paper with some Bo Bunny Double Dot cardstock (Tutu) and added in some stamping and coordinating embellishments to create this page. Here is a full step by step tutorial so you can 'watch the process'.

Love You Card by Gabrielle Pollacco

For my second card I thought I would play up the black and whites with one accent color, in this case aqua. I used Ocean Double dot paper along with stickers from the Pincushion collection.

I used some of the lovely Bo Bunny flowers to accent this card. These ready made coordinating blooms make putting a project together so quick and easy.

Handmade Buttons card by Romy Veul

On this card I focused on the beautiful peach and orange papers of the Pincushion collection. I thought they would make a great girly and romantic card.

Isn't this button card just way too cute? I stapled a chipboard label holder and heart upon the button card from the 'Layered Chipboard' package to make the button card stand out a little more. I also used dies to further embellish my card.

Heart Banner Card by Romy Veul

My second card is actually rather simple. I wanted to use the beautiful chipboard banners on this card and found that they actually shined the most by keeping the my design rather simple.

I attached the heart banner on top of the flag banner for some extra dimension. Some of the hearts are decorated with pearls and glitter glue for a glittery touch. I also added a few punched butterflies to my card.

My sentiment is stamped with the beautiful 'You're invited' stamps.
