It's a daisy kind of day

I made some what I thought would be simple cards.  I die cut a bunch of white daisies then strips of green cardstock to make a bouquet of flowers.  I used purple buttons for the flower centers and Lilac twine that matched perfectly.

I folded the daisies in half and then die cut a green daisy to use the flower petals as leaves.  And of course I found The Twinery twine Marigold that matched the daisy center perfectly.

I guess you've noticed the "sentiment" bits.  Well I didn't have the right sentiment for the cards so I Photoshopped the word in until I find the perfect fit.

Daisy Die-A Jullian Vance Design

Twine- The Twinery

Winter Magic Handbag

This month's challenge is Winter for us Ziva's so I thought with all the Holiday parties to go to I should make something a festive with a touch of elegance. This is what I came up with (based on a gorgeous card on Pinterest)

I used the Z Becky Brown's handbag My White Night and Ziva papers Natural White

 I used Platinum Stickles to paint the Veneer Stars. Here's a close up

I extended the background all the way around the insert. So the handbag is decorated on all 4 sides.

 Then I die cut the poinsettia and hot glued it to a ribbon and tied it to the handle.

Materials

• Paper: Natural White: Ziva Papers, Vintage Cream and Kraft-PTI
• Fabric: Felt-red and green
• Accessories: Dies-Poinsettia: Spellbinders, Sentiment and landscape: Memory Box, Platinum Glitter:Stickles, Veneer Stars: Studio Calico

5 minute cards

Waltzing Mouse Stamps released flower stamps in August that were just my cup of tea.  They were elegant in true Waltzing Mouse style yet very simple.  But it wasn't until I saw the the DT had done with them that made me really want them.  The following cards are CASED from the WM DT that I am using to teach a class with.  I was so happy with how they turned out that I made a couple of the same style I just switched colours giving an almost completely different look.
