God's Path

Good morning! I have not created a gate fold card forever so I played yesterday and made this. I still adore seeing this sentiment in rubber, it is from the Sentiment Collection 3 set at ODBD. I choose this one as it is a reminder to me. This is a 5x5 gate fold card. My flowers are from my sweet friend Pat. Again using supplies that I haven't used in awhile. Makes me wonder how I stop using them once I dig them out again. ha ha! Here is the gate fold open.
Here it is closed. I always have to use my finger to close it so it doesn't pop up. The flourished swirls in kraft card stock you see is using the ODBD Custom Fancy Foliage Die. Isn't it pretty? Voila!  Hope you have a wonderful day!

Who can resist?





Sweet Rewind today

Thank gosh it is Friday! Oh my oh my what a week! Hopefully you have fun plans for this weekend. We will be finishing science projects and helping with try outs for the JR. team. The joys! ha ha  Today is ODBD rewind week of our March release. The DT has some sweet creations lined up for you today so lets get started.
This is rather country inspired with the gingham paper and flowers. My ribbon is always side to side or up and down so I shook it up a bit and have it diagonal. oohhhaaahhh.. HA!!  I think I will go back to my normal.  :-)  The sentiment is from Sweeter Than Honey that is stamped on white card stock. My brilliant blue card stock is dry embossed using QuatreFoil Pattern die for a beautiful texture. In case you missed it this die makes a fabulous box, check out my Quatrefoil Box Tutorial. These flowers are from my sweet friend Pat. Added a few pearls and voila! 

Be sure to check out the creations from the DT:

Little Yellow dress

I know you are wondering what is with all the girl cards. Well, I have a request for birthday cards for young girls that I am working on. Simply Maya is a great collection just for this age group. This one called Maya Dressing Up is one of my favorite ones. I adore her dress in yellow which is why I color it that was on most cards. She is stamped on white card stock and colored with Various Copic markers.

I added some fun rosets to my Die-Light Romantic Swirls and a charm from the All For The Girls Charm collection. The birthday sentiment is on the inside. Voila!  Cute isn't she?  :-)  Hope you have a wonderful day.
