I just love this cute koala bear card. Mr. Bear was made on Close to My Heart whisper cardstock, using a Cuttlebug Flourished Frame embossing folder, Close to My heart black ink, Koala Bear stamp from Imaginisce, a Hello stamp and black sparkle assortment from Close to My Heart.

This card is so versatile and could be used for any number of sentiments such as birthdays, father day, get well or as I used it to say “Hello”. It is a great take on a masculine card.

Quick and Easy Gold Label Card

The Gold Label Card is so quick and easy to make and it is one of those cards that can be used for a variety of occasions. I have left the gold foil label blank as it can be used for so many sentiments, just pick the occasion and stamp on the foil label.

Instructions:

1). Cut, score and fold 11 x 8.5 brown cardstock.

2) Cut and adhere 1 .25 inch strip of translucent gold dot cardstock to folded edge of car. (The gold dot foil translucent paper was part of the National Scrapbooking Month special selection).

3). Adhere gold label to front of card. (From my personal stash of supplies)

4). Embellish as desired. ( I used wooden flower with gold dot (from translucent gold dot paper adhered to center of flower) The flower came from my stash of leftover craft supplies.

5). Fussy cut a 5/8 inch strip of reverse side of brown card stock. Adhere to 4 by 5 inch rectangle of white cardstock to inside of card to be used for handwritten sentiment.
