Handmade Matching Envelope — No problem

Hi everyone.  🙂

I thought I’d take my card making one step further and create a coordinating envelope. (Image by Stamping Bella.)

Did you know there’s one basic formula to create any size envelope? Your only limitation is the size of paper you have on hand.

Presentation counts, right?  Yes, sometimes it does. 🙂

Hi everyone!  Just popping in with another quick card using Paper Smooches June release products. You can see the entire release HERE.

Today I’ve used new Botanicals 3 with a sentiment from Clipboards Two.

Sending-Hugs-BotanicalsI did a bit of watercolor “smooshing,” entirely inspired by Amy Rohl.  She is a masterful smoosher.  ♥

I used my MISTI to stamp the flowers.  (LOVE that tool, seriously love.)

Thank for stopping by today!

Hi everyone!

I have a card to share today using one of Paper Smooches‘ latest releases, Promenade Icons dies, which coordinate with Promenade stamp set.  The elements are small and cute, making it easy to create all sorts of scenes.  🙂

Michele Boyer - Paper Smooches

Each piece was die-cut from X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers.  To create the clouds, I used a Waves die, light blue ink and blending tool.

Just to add a tiny bit of dimension, I placed a white mini brad in the center of the flower.
