Friend Like You

Happy Friday (well almost)!  I have another fun Mint Motif card to share with you tonight!  I love all things polka dotted so I was happy to see that Kimberly included a polka dot border in the new Beyond Borders, Too set!  A perfect addition to the set for sure!  I embossed the dots on pale grey cardstock to give them a little bit of shine and umph!  Then I added a label and heart die cuts from the Authentique Uncommon collection.  Lastly I added that fabulous sentiment from Simply Sentiments and some sparkly glitter on the edges.  Remember these great sets are only available from i {heart} papers...and there is so many other great things in Kate's store!!

That's it for me tonight.  I have some rice krispy treats to make for my son's school and a bit of relaxing to do!  Have a great weekend!!

Felt Flowers (& Mint Motif)

Good Morning!  Happy Thursday - almost St. Patrick's Day!  I have a nephew and a good friend of the boys born on St. Patrick's Day so it is always a great excuse for a celebration!!  I just had to come back and share another Mint Motif project I made with the latest sets!  I have had fun creating with these sets and even have another card to share next week!!  I also wanted to draw your attention to the fabulous felt that Kate has started carrying at i {heart} papers!  I purchased a few colors with my last order and I absolutely LOVE it, especially the color (heliotrope pink) on this card!  It is soft and tightly woven and cuts great - at least it did with the Spellbinders dies I used for this card. 

For the card, I started by stamping the background panel with two different shades of green, overlapping the border from Beyond Borders, Too as I moved across the card.  I like the two tone effect it gives the over all card.  I then die cut a piece of green cardstock with a Spellbinders die from one of the banner sets, stamped the sentiment from Simply Sentiments and added it to the card.  Lastly, I die cut those flowers with the Spellbinders Peony dies, added white buttons with green embroidery floss and adhered them to the card. 

Have a great weekend and thanks for visiting today!!

Mint Motif Project

Hooray, today I get to share a Mint Motif project made with the two new sets coming out this week!!  They are both fabulous basic sets, with more borders in Beyond Borders, Too and a ton of great sentiments in Simply Sentiments.  They are available exclusively through i {heart} papers!

I used the super trendy and very versatile hexagon background pattern from the set to create a simple background.  Then I trimmed out a few hexagons from the October Afternoon Sasparilla collection, I love the colors in this collection!  I added a label cut from another piece of coordinating patterned paper from the same collection and stamped the sentiment in dark brown ink.  I thought adding a little heart was the perfect addition to this simple, cute card!!

I hope you have enjoyed my little Mint Motif project today, now take a moment to click through to the rest of the featured blogs for even more inspiration!
