my 1st Project Life Swap cards !

hi all.
so i have decided to try this whole Project Life thing...
i have gotten the page protectors, the albums, and 
even a Core Kit.
have i started, nope. not yet.
i need to print photos and get cracking, these albums won't fill
themselves.


i also joined a few FB groups for inspiration and swaps.
i joined my 1st swap this past month, and have just mailed out
my handmade PL cards :)

the 1st grp is "vintage tea"
i LOVE tea and have a few tea theme pics to
do, so this swap was perfect.
these are 4x6 cards, rounded. the paper is from
Recollects, and is glittered.
they have a paper doily on one side, 
w/a teapot stamped and popped up, 
and some bling. the TEA is a
foam alpha sticker.
on the back i used a white mini bag stamped w/
an image and inside is my card.


the 2nd grp is "fairies"
i don't really have pics for these.....but i love fairies, so 
i was in, lol.
these are 4x6, rounded as well.
the paper is Graphic 45 Once Upon a SpringTime...
one of my faves.
the die cut was done using the Stampin Up Top Note Bigz Die
which has the stitching around the border, which i LOVE.
the fairy was fussy cut from the paper as well.
i then just stamped a nice quote, and added some bling.
the back is the same as the 1st card.

TRD- altered clear gift box w/ tags

this week i altered a clear gift box.
using some of Tsunami Rose Designs digital papers,
and ephemera/tags.
i added paper on top, along w/ some
black toole, a charm, metal keyand some red lace w/ bling trim.
i punched some sentiments and paper into little mason jar tags,
using my mason jar punch from EK success.
then backed them onto manilla mason jar tags.
i also included some plain manilla mason jar tags,
and some vintage tags backed on manilla.
they are all tied w/ some bakers twine to hold them together.

this will make a great gift for a special friend.

    TRD: card - simple vintage b-Day card

    this week i created a card using some vintage papers 


    i layered one paper on the card, then made a 
    library pocket and layered another paper on it.
    on top of the pocket i put the sentiment and some Prima bling.
    all the edges were also lightly inked 
    w/ Tim Holtz Vintage Photo
    Distress ink.

    i added a beautiful flower and some black lace.

    in the pocket are some tags from an ephemera page, topped 
    with some red/white bakers twine.

    this is a very simple card. but in the style that the recipient loves.

    TFL.

    TRD- retiring papers- 8x8 card

    this week a created an 8x8 card using
    some papers that will be retiring from


    using an 8x8 card base i layered 2 of the
    retiring papers. book print on the bottom, 
    and this gorgeous couple print on the top.
    this is such a bright/happy image and i actually
    like the happy yellow and blue colors.
    i was able to use some yellow doilys i had
    in my stash, which i put in between the papers.

    on top of the blue lace,
    i added a pretty blue flower, w/ a metal heart 
    embellishment as the center. 

    this card came out soo pretty and happy.
    can't wait to send it to someone, just to put
    a smile on their face.

    TRD- paper bag card

     this week i created a simple but cute paper bag card.
    using some papers soon to be retiring from Tsunami Rose Designs.

    they are solo fun to work with, and 

    go with pretty much everything.





    i used 3 diff papers, one for the front of the card, .

    i added some flowers, lace, bling and charms to the front. 

    and 2 for the inside, which includes
    a pocket for a giftcard.

     
     the back of the card has a pocket for a small gift.
    (basically the opening of the paper bag)

    this would make a great card/gift for anyone.
    i plan on making a few of these for the end
    of the school year gifts.

    thanks for stopping by,

    hugs,
