When I first saw the directions for these kinds of cards I was a little intimidated. It looked kind of complicated. Then I stumbled on some much easier to understand directions and kicked myself. DUH! They’re so simple and somewhat addictive!

This one was inspired by Paula Goforth. She posted some beautiful scripture frames on the CTMH bulletin board a couple of weeks ago. They were so great that I decided to try them myself. It was also a really great layout for this card.

Supplies: CTMH Grace papers and buttons; Offray trim; Michael’s ribbon; embroidery floss

This one started with the leftover scripture. Something about the scripture made me think of this paper.

Supplies: CTMH Twitterpated bulk papers, Crystal Blue textured cardstock, Sweet Leaf buttons, Chocolate brad; Prima flowers; embroidery floss

One last easel card. This one uses a Color Me Monday challenge called “Passion for Pumpkins” from Jeanette Lynton’s blog.

Supplies: CTMH Grace papers, Autumn Terracotta, Ponderosa Pine, Cocoa and Barn Red cardstock, clear buttons, Treasures stamp set (large flower); Sweet ‘n Sassy word stamps; Michael’s ribbon; Offray crochet trim; embroidery floss; Nestabilities scalloped circle and circles

Thank you for taking a look.
