This card was made almost entirely with a K & Co. embellishment pack.  The card base is 5x7 white cardstock.  The patterened paper is also K & Co.  The 2 flowers are cream vintage felt and cut with Papertrey Ink Beautiful Blooms II 1 & 3 dies finished with small brads in the center.  The tag has Happy Birthday stamped on it (you cannot see it in this picture).

This is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base.  2 patterns of green and white paper were used.  The solid green Rick Rack was cut with the Easter Cricut cartridge.  The same solid green Papertrey Ink Mat Stack 1 has a white oval stamped with a Hero Arts sentiment.  Lastly I made a "grunge" flower with the small plaid paper.  I used the 5 petal flower from George and Basic shapes cut in 2 sizes, sprayed with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist.  I scrunched it all up and put a clear jewel brad in the center.

This is another masculine card.  The same brown paper I used before, an old DCWV stack.  The card base is 5x7.  The sailboat was cut with Wall Decor and More Cricut cartridge.  It was cut with white cardstock and sprayed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Moonshadow Mist.  It gives it that cool two tone look.  Sort of creamy brown but when you turn it, it has a violet cast.  The second thing it did was kinda warp the paper.  I did not try and flatten it because it gives it a 3D look.  The sails almost look like they have the wind in them.  I LOVE that.  I did not spray heavy and I blotted a lot of the mist off.  It is popped off the card with pop dots!

This card is made with almost all handmade paper.  The base is 5x7 white cardstock.  The black mat is
4 3/4 x 6 3/4 black handmade paper. White handmade paper is cut with Papertrey Ink Mat Stack 1 and layered with the black paper and trimed in the shape of the mat stack.  The sentiment was stamped in PTI black ink.  The same white paper was cut with PTI Large Scallop Border.  It is 2 x 4 3/4.  A strip of the black paper was cut with the PTI Eyelet Lace border die.  A flower was made with the black paper.  Those instructions can be found on Dawn McVeys blog My Favorite Things.  The little pearl spray is from Dollar Tree, in the wedding supplies.
I think this is perfect for a classy "Over the Hill" type card.  Very simple.  The picture does not do justice to the pretty paper.

This card is one that has focus on the beautiful printed paper.  The 5x7 white cardstock base is covered with  paper cut so it is best showcased.  White cardstock is cut with Papertrey Ink Beautiful Blooms II dies.  2 large, 1 medium and 1 small flower are sprayed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Moonshadow
Mist , Lindys .  It looks brown but when tilted it is a violet color, really pretty. All 4 blossoms are stacked,  adhered and finished with one brown and one violet button tied with button twine.  The Mat Stack 1 is also lightly sprayed with the same mist.  A vintage cream oval is stacked on top and the Hero Arts sentiment is stamped in Dark Chocolate PTI ink.

This card is the compliment to the card posted below.  The only difference is a handmade flower that is like one used on a card  previously posted.  It is from a tutorial from Dawn McVey's blog My Favorite Things, a Superstar designer from Papertrey Ink.
Thanks for looking!
This is a simple card I made focusing on the paper.  It is a DCWV Stack.  The base is 5x7, white cardstock.  I layered the patterened paper, cut Navy blue cardstock with Mat Stack 1 Papertrey Ink die.  A White oval is on that mat Stack and stamped with a Stampin Up sentiment in Pure Poppy PTI ink.  That is all there is to it, super simple.  I will post a matching thank you as well. It will of course precede this post but the process is the same.  It is just the other part of the 12x12 sheet that did not have as much pattern on it.
