Laura Craigie is using some of her absolute favorite embellishments from the Garden Party collection today to make beautiful handmade cards for any occasion. Read on to get a little inspiration for a card duo of your own!

PB_GardenPartyDo you ever have a product you love so much it’s hard to use?  That is how I’ve felt about these beautiful vellum flowers in the Garden Party collection!  I had been afraid to use them up, but finally decide it was time after a few months of loving them.  I decided to make a card duo, incorporating plenty of white to really let the flowers shine.

I always like to have something “grounding” my sentiments and for these cards I used the pockets and inserts from the same Garden Party line.

They are the perfect size for both cards and layouts and you can pull out the cute tag insert and use it all on it’s own like I did for one of my cards, and just used the empty pocket as an embellishment on the other card.

For me personally, I tend to send thank you cards and birthday cards the most often so I am always in need of more birthday cards in my stash.  I just adore the new Birthday Wishes line as it has such a great colour palate that works for both masculine and feminine cards.

Handmade Hello Cards

Mini envelopes make a great embellishment. We love the way Laura Craigie has incorporated them into her cheerful handmade hello cards.

Mini Envelopes

I’ve always loved the mini envelopes by Pebbles, and while I love using them as intended, I also love using them as an embellishment. So I decided to make two cards today using supplies from the Garden Party line, and used two different envelopes, one on each card.

For my first card I adhered it to the card upside down, and added a patterned paper liner to the inside flap of the envelope.  It was a great way to ground all the other embellishments and sentiment I added to my card.

My second card again uses the envelope as an embellishment, and I added a tag that looks like it’s popping out as the base for my sentiment made with those pretty floral thickers.

Mother's Day

No one loves a beautiful handmade card more than Mom. Today Design Team Member Laura Craigie is sharing a couple of the lovely Mother’s Day cards she’s made for the coming holiday.

It’s almost Mother’s Day, and I needed to get cracking on making cards to send out.  Here are two that I have made so far.

I think it’s also important to send cards to Grandparents if you are blessed enough to have them around, thusly I made this “Nana” card.  I covered the floral die cut in glitter glue for some extra fun, and a bit of Glossy Accents on the leaves.  I think it’s a really fun and dramatic touch to add.

And then of course a card for Mom.  I love using the ABC cards as a bold monogram on my cards, it’s just such a cute option.  Those glitter thickers also really help to make this card shine.

Today Laura Craigie is sharing a baby boy scrapbook layout that was inspired by one simple 4×6 card. Read on to see her completed page!

Being a mother of all boys, the Special Delivery Boy line is simply perfect for me! I cherish all the sweet baby pictures of my boys, and only wish I had taken more.

This whole page started with 4×6 goodnight moon card. I just started layering papers behind it, and adding die cut stars and stickers. I thought I would maybe make a little door hanger for my nephews door, then I remembered this picture of my little man and turned it into a title feature for this page instead.

One of my favourite parts of the page and this new line are the glittery thickers. I just love the chunky glitter and the text behind it.
