Cascade Card by Dreaming Tree

Dreaming Tree has produced another beautiful svg.  It is a Cascade Card file.  There are 3 separate cards, each equally beautiful.  Right now you can get the file free with a purchase of $9.98.  You can also purchase just the Cascade Card svg's for 5.99.  I played around with the Lily Cascade Card and this is what I came up with.

I made a totally white one, too but apparently didn't take a picture of it.  This card is super easy to make but shows elegance and beauty.  The hardest part is choosing your papers.  One thing to remember, double sided paper does not work for the card base.

Thank you for your visits and comments.

God Bless You!!!  Peggy

Happy Birthday to My Son-In-Law

I've been away for a few days.  Donna and I went back to SC for the weekend to visit family.  It is always good to get back home.  I think as I age, I love being home more and more.  

My son-in-law has a birthday coming up in a few days so I got busy and made him a card.  He does not like us to give him store bought cards.  I hope he likes this one..

Card Supplies:

5.5" Square card base - Kraft paper

Iris Card

Lately, I will get an idea for a card in my head and I will start working on the idea, only to end up with something only a little like my original thought.  This card is one of those cards.

The original idea was to layer lace cut outs all across the card.  However, when I tried it, I felt like the lace was too big.  So I just used 1 piece for each side of the card.  I added pink ink to the edges so they wouldn't look so stark.  The lace is from Martha Stewart's Elegant Cake cartridge.

The flower is an Anna Griffin embellishment, layered and put together with foam adhesives for dimension.  The bow is from the Cricut cartridge "Anna's Ribbons and Bows".  This card can be used for so may different occasions.  It would make a lovely Mother's Day card.  My Mom is not living or I would give it to her.

Thank you for visiting with me today.  I love your comments.

God Bless You!!! Peggy
