Happy Canada Day!

Created With Paper's July collection is Barefoot & Bliss from BoBunny. This collection is a sunny mix of waves, words and exotic flowers. Coordinating chipboard shapes, buttons and ribbon provide lots of embellishment options. I have lots of summer birthdays coming up so I made these fun cards, for example..."life's a beach...dive into summer" is perfect for one of my beach volleyball friends, it's for a guy and I found the colours to be great for male or female, which is great because it's not always easy to make cards for men!

Just for you!

Here is another little "leafy" gift tag. This was for a turtle wallet so this little turtle card was a perfect match for the gift. See below:

A little Birdy Told Me...

Here is a "Leafy" little gift tag for for a birthday gift. The outside says: A Little Birdy told me....
and inside says ...the more birthdays you have the longer you live! All the supplies came from this month's kit accept the bird rub-on which was a Created With Paper Christmas gift one year, and the button is from Sassafras Lass.

For you! Card

I always like the "for you" saying, it's generic enough, short enough for a card and doesn't use too many letters! Here I used all the "leafy" elements of this month's kit, one fun touch is I put random gems on the leaves of the tree, it adds a nice bit of sparkle! Stay tuned, more to come this weekend!

Birthday Card

Okay here was a sweet, quick and fun card that I made with this month's kit. I wanted to show how to use up miscellaneous letters that you have left over from partially used sticker packs. The "d" is from this month's kit, but I didn't have enough letters for "birthday" because I'd made so many titles and stuff on my other projects. I also know that it's almost impossible to write "birthday" straight across a card because it's too long of a word for most fonts. So this solves both problems and became a focal point for the card!

Sweet and Leafy is now online!

Designer Marcia made this adorable party tray along with a matching card and birday inviation! That is the "Sweet" side of this kit, come back each day this week to see a new design by me including inspirational "leafy" cards, layouts and more sweet stuff!
