Simple yet Elegant Wedding Card

Hello everyone!! Today, I wanted to share a wedding card that I made. It was so simple to make. I used silver glitter paper from Die Cuts with a View Glitter Stack. The patterned paper is just white paper stamped repeatedly with silver ink. The rings were just cut in gray paper and I used a burgundy (to match the base) marker to color the ribbon. I also used glitter glue to make the diamond stand out. I can't remember where I got the sentiment stamp. :) I hope you all have a great day and I hope to have inspired you today!! ~Emma

'Welcome Little One' Popcorn/Favor Box

Yesterday on my Facebook Page, I shared this sneak peek of what was to come today. Well, are you ready to see???? :)
I made this adorable little popcorn box to be used as a favor/candy/anything else you can think of (LOL!!) box. I am spotlighting in this project Pink By Design Stamps, Glitter Paper from Die Cuts with a View, and twine in the colors Blossom and Caribbean from The Twinery.
I cut it at 5.5" from Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More Cricut cartridge. cut the white circle at 1.75" from George and Basic Shapes and inked it with pink ink. I then stamped my sentiment in brown ink. I used 2 scalloped circles from Mini Monograms (cut at 2"). I adhered one flat on the box, the other is pop-dotted above it.
For the twine, I just used both colors and tied a little bow. :) Super simple!! I tried to keep this project so that it could be used for either gender. You could also switch the colors for a different look.

Do you notice anything different on my photos? That's right!! I purchased a watermark!! I love how subtle it is, yet it marks the picture as truly mine. :) I purchased it from DPNDSUDIO on Etsy. Here is the listing for the water mark that I purchased. I am extremely happy with it!

I hope you've enjoyed this project and have a fabulous day! ~Emma

New Post! Doggie Cards

Hi everyone! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in a while. I was planning to yesterday and I ran out of time. :) Any way here is my project for today. I got my first set of Mr. Cricut Crazy stamps. I got the stamp set Razzle. For my patterned paper I used Die Cuts with a View (DCWV) and The Paper Company (basically Hobby Lobby company). The striped paper is from DCWV Flower Power stack. The flower paper is from The All Seasons II paper stack. I used leftover ovals from this project to stamp the dogs on. I was mass producing those cards and made extra ovals. :D I am really liking these cards. I'll be back soon with another project. :) ~Emma

Pattern Paper Tip

Sorry that I haven't been posting in a while. I did a couple of cards today. I am waiting on a package, so there will be more posts. I wanted to share a quick tip about pattern papers that are not a continual pattern. They are really easy to use. All you have to use is stick 1-4 photos on and add a die cut, stickers, etc. Also journaling. :) So if you are looking to make some quick layouts, turn to 'picture pattern papers' as I call them. :D I hope you have enjoyed this! ~Emma

File Folder Mini Album Tutorial

Hi everyone! Today's post is on facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.169610509787062.43601.122094287872018&type=1. I was trying to get blogger to format it right. But you might say it was non-cooperative. Hope you enjoy it!! ~Emma

Paper Rosette

Hi everyone!! I had to share my first attempt at a paper rosette that are really big right now. People are using them for banners, buttons, wreaths, and more. Here is the recipe:

Pink Cardstock from Die Cuts with a View (DCWV)
Flower from George cut at 1.5"
Circle cut from George at 2"
Hole punch to cover the flower center
Pop dot under flower
I used hot glue to attach the circles. My strips were 2" and scored every half inch. It turned out pretty well for the trouble it gave me. :) We are coming close to Think Pink Week. I need all of you guys help. Details are here. There is a prize for the winning challenge. It's a surprise. :) -snicker, snicker-. I hope that you all will come back tomorrow for more fun. :D ~Emma
