Recipe Card

This morning my very good friend, Jessica sent me a picture text of a recipe card that she had. This card was very unique, in fact... it was a greeting card that had a sleeve with a recipe card in it attached to the actual card itself. Being the sweet (awesome) person she is, she thought I could use it as an idea for one of my cards. I felt so inspired after that conversation with her, that I made my own recipe card.

Enjoy :)

Created using: American Crafts (Letterbox Post Script) paper, Waltzing Mouse (Very Vintage Labels #2 and Victorian Frippery), Prima (flower), recipe card downloaded from Microsoft Online Templates, ribbon from Paper Tales, Martha Stewart (circle [1in]) punch, EK Success (Double Crochet) punch, Colorbox (black) pigment ink, Nick Bantock (Charcoal Grey) ink, Stampendous (clear) embossing powder.

Thank you for stopping by!!

 

Ps- thanks for the tip, Jess :)
 

Good Luck

Whenever asked, I always tell people that every color is my favorite. Sure, I like some more than others ( i.e., pink, gray, teal, gold, brown, etc...). However, when it comes to neutral colors, there is nothing more chic. 

Today's card is a combination of kraft and white, with a dab of pink. I choose the colors of today's card based on the little charm that is hanging off the card (which, I made myself). 

 

Created using: Bazzill (kraft) cardstock, A Muse ([large] Marigold and Open Zinnia) stamps, Colorbox (white) pigment ink, Nick Bantock (Charcoal Grey) ink, Stampendous (White) embossing powder, ribbon from Paper Tales, Beads from Gem Mall of San Diego, Swarovski crystals (Crystal), Marvy (corner) punch.

Thanks for stopping by, I wish you all a FANTASTIC day!!

Bookmarks

Over the weekend I made a trip to Paper Tales. Once I was there, I was about to pay when I noticed a picture of these exquisite bookmarks. I asked, Diane & Randi (one of the many lovely ladies at Paper Tales) about the bookmarks. It was then that she told me, they had the supplies to make my own. So, I stepped out of line and gathered supplies to make my own bookmarks. 

So, today we will be switiching things up a bit and I will be showcasing my new bookmarks. I hope you all enjoy them!!

Ooh, on another note... Please don't forget to sign-up for the Couture Events & Paper Princess giveaway. There is still time to win.

Make a Wish

My day started off bright and early this morning, 5:30AM to be exact!! I woke up early to take my fiancé to the airport... And of course, when i got home (even though I tried to go back to bed) it just wasn't happening. So, I thought about cleaning the house, but then changed my mind and decided to start crafting. 

On another note... It's Friday!! Hope everyone's work day speeds by and you all have an amazing weekend.

Little Princess

You know those kind of days, you know... the ones where nothing [and I mean absolutely, nothing] is going your way? Well, today was exactly that kind of day for me. Nothing was going right and then, even more things went wrong. Well... As hard as it was for me to be positive at that time, I eventually woke up from dwelling in my sorrow and realized that no matter what may be going on in my day-to-day, I should be happy for what I have, for some people aren't as fortunate as I. 

After my revelation, I went to yoga and sweat away my negativity.... For me, yoga makes everything better.

Now, I know that I didn't post yesterday. Sorry. My fiancé took me out to Fleming's yesterday and by the time we got home... I was too tired to turn on my laptop. But, today's post (I hope) will be well worth that wait.

Created using: Teresa Collins (Chic Bebe Girl Notes and Mini Tag's) paper, A Muse (Shimmer Couture Solid Pink) paper, Prima (Say-it-in-Crystals) stickers, ribbon from Paper Tales.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great evening!!

Birthday at Tiffany's

Over the weekend my fiancé and I really stocked up... We bought AC, a BBQ, and ceiling fan... NOW, we're ready for summer. Also, during the weekend... We celebrated my fiancé's grandmother birthday; she turned 83!!

Today's card was inspire by none other than THE jewelry store; Tiffany's. Now, what girl doesn't like Tiffany's?! Exactly!! One of the first things I think of (at least) when I think of Tiffany's is that pretty blue-green bag... All the bit chic!! Next I think sophisticated and, of course... BLING!! With that said... I created this card, appropriately titled: Birthday at Tiffanys.

  

Created using: A Muse (Shimmer Couture Damask and Solid in Robin's Egg and Shimmer Couture in White), Swarovski Crystals, Recollection (white pearl) stickers, Papertrey Ink (Fillable Frames #2), Nestabilities (square) die, Color box (Black) pigment ink, stampendous (clear) embossing powder.

Hope you all enjoyed today's card. Remember, if you are interested in purchasing this card, you can find it at my  Etsy store.

Have a great evening,

Dani
