The Best is Yet to Come

+++ the best...

... is yet to come +++

Now... How cute and versatile is that quote? 

It is perfect for so many occasions: you could make it a wedding card, a new baby card, a graduation card, etc,  etc...

Below are two of my takes, a wedding card and a new baby card. I am sure I will use this again in a near future.

For my first card, I had a craving for flowers and dragonflies. This is what came out!

Here is a close up of the printed sentiment...

 I love the flying  birds in an infinite sign pattern.

The dragonflies are printed in white on silver card stock and I added some dimensional glittery paint on top of the body.

The flowers are punched paper and the centers are made with a Paper-Pen from Viva, in Sunny yellow. Any dimensional paint would work there.

I used a Martha Stewart stamp for the flowers stems, and a Martha Stewart edger punch for the bottom of the silver panel.

The finish touch was a simple bow in clear ribbon.

And now, for a totally different use of this sentiment, a new baby card.

I just can't get enough of this little Recollections baby footprints stamp. I used Nestability to cut a simple circle and a scalloped one to frame the printed image.

 It is then propped up with some foam stickies.

Et voila!!!!

Until next time...

Love You

I LOVE YOU...

... three little words, packed with punch AND oh! so versatile. 

A card adorned this way, can work from Valentine's day to Father's/Mother's Day to a special anniversary.

I first saw this card on a papertreyink blog, and fell in love with it...

The mix of Kraft paper, baker's twine and the simplicity of the message...

Choosing the font is very important; you have to find one that feel just right.

I printed "love you"  on a Kraft paper from paperandmore.com and use Martha Stewart baker's twine. 

I made 3 more of this card and I made the "X" smaller (1 inch instead of 1 1/4)... I think it looked better. The kraft panel is raised by dimensional squares.

Until next time....

Father's Day card

Those are called flaunt card...  don't ask me why. Martha Stewart showcased some of those on one of her show. Neat idea... father's day cards ideas are so scarce to me.

Halloween treat boxes

 here again, the Martha Stewart Halloween punch was used with glossy black paper to make a shiny fence around the box. I stuck a treat bag behind...

Assorted Halloween Cards

 With Martha Stewart papers and beautiful halloween punches, those cards are made in a minute! I used dimensional for the spider and it looks like it is going to just walk out....
