A Couple Sweet Cards

Hi Everyone. I'm alive and kickin but still down on the sofa wearing my purple pjs and blowing my nose. Gosh this cold has held on for 3 weeks now and I'm pretty sick of it. Butttttt, I wanted to check in with you all and share a couple cards with you.

I made several "I am Grateful" cards in November thinking about Thanksgiving and thinking about the blessings in my life.The main focus of this card is the glittered chipboard bird which I painted, distressed and then loaded up with glitter. The pretty fushia tags on the right I bought from Michelle Wooderson's Etsy store.The crinkled seam binding is from MemrieMare.

I used my Stampin Up punches for the sentiment. Loveeee those two punches!

Next up is a card I made by accident really. I bought a new Martha Stewart Punch-the paisly design at the bottom and when I saw it in person I was just thrilled to pieces at how it looked.It's so elegant. Thought I would use a couple different stitches on my sewing machine on this card just for fun.

The Artisan Element is by Pink Paislee I bought at Ellen Hutson.Just added a couple pearls and I think it speaks for itself with all it's delightfulness. These elements are just beautiful in person. Had to add some glitter there in between the paisley punch out. LOL

Seam binding is from Prairie Bird Boutique on Etsy and I added some rose velvet ribbon with that along with a flower button from Stampin Up. The felt layered flower is from Papertrey Ink dies, Beautiful Blooms II set that I seem to use a lot. Their felt is so easy to cut through. Added a little white plastic flower on top and then strung a chandelier drop I bought from Emma's Paperie.
So that's it for me. Time to get back on the sofa and get some hot tea with lemon into my bod. We will chat with ya later. Remember Nicole Headley (Papertrey Ink) is doing her sneeeeeek peaks! I'm so excited!!
