Decorative Edges Die Set

 I had so much fun using the NEW Decorative Edges Die Set from Creative Worship Stamps to create this little mini album! I used a Stamperia 8x8 paper pad to cut all the pages. The album is 5" tall and the 1st page is about 5" wide. Each page is just a little bit longer than the one before it so you can see all the pretty borders at one glance. I inked all the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink to make them stand out a little better.

Happy 100th Birthday

  A friend commissioned me to make a special card for her to give someone who is turning 100 years old this year! I used the entire July Mini Release plus quite a few previously released products to create this little folio birthday card for her.  

I incorporated papers and some of the flowers from Sweet the Soul printables released in May. In order to resize them, I opened the PDF, screenshot the florals (or papers) I wanted to use, saved the, and then inserted them into Word where I can resize and even adjust the color of them if I want. (I made the blue striped paper a bit darker than the original for this little folio.)

 Today I have a shabby-chic square card that features the NEW God so Loved stamp set from Creative Worship Stamps combined with several of their older sets. I added pretty papers, ribbons, and lace to give this card a soft, feminine feel.
