It's time for another Saturday Step by Step over at FRILLY AND FUNKIE! This time I have put together a lovely Spring Birthday card for a dear friend of mine using my two two biggest loves in my craft room right now, Pion Design Papers and mixed media products, all available at Linda's shop The Funkie Junkie Boutique. I do hope you will pop on over and visit me there for lots more photos and a step by step tutorial on how I put this together!
UPDATE:
My card won an award in the following wonderful challenge:

...and remember the tree that looked like it was covered in spider webs...DOH!
Normally this is when I would bow out, but it's a big day here at My Little Craft Things, and I will be throwing another card at you in just a few hours. Hope to see you then! Hugs :)
We interrupt your regularly scheduled spring programming to bring you this important winter announcement!! MOTHER NATURE HAS GONE INSANE!! You can't see me right now, but I am giving her some well deserved cut-eye! I waited all winter for some winter weather, and now it's too late! You should never be able to use the phrases 'patio furniture' and 'lots of ice' in the same sentence unless you're describing your afternoon Daiquiri!!
Oh well, it pretty as all get out, so what the heck! Here it is, my winter in spring time!
Remember the little nest that looked a lot like my missing sweater? Now it just looks like a giant snowball, I sure hope whatever critters are in there, that they are bundled up snug as a bug!
...and remember the tree that looked like it was covered in spider webs...DOH!
Everyone say hello to Mr Greyson Twitchy. I call him Greyson because he has grey hairs, and Twitchy because he does this cute little dance with his feet to avoid being on the cold ground for too long, funny as heck! It was nerve-racking to watch the little guy trying to balance on that icy railing! Geez!
Gorgeous card and wonderful photos. Nature seems o be really crazy. No ice here, bit we have had dark and dismal and rainy days. But today the sun is shining! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteBack to soft Angel ;)Its Gorgeous !!

ReplyDeleteThe second time was for those pictures of snow!! What the heck, Mother Nature?? What a cruel joke she is playing on you. It's sunny with blue skies here but a bit chilly...I'm not complaining in the least after seeing your pics!! I need a jacket just to look at them!! But what a sweetie Greyson Twitchy is!! So cute!! I don't know how you can tell them all apart. There are a hundred of them here and they all look alike to me :D I'm scrolling up to see your next project now before I head over to F&F.

Hi Pamellia
ReplyDeleteRefined and quiet elegance. Stunning!
Ah, good ol' Ma Nature likes to throw the curve balls. Yesterday, glorious sunshine, washing out and dried in a couple of hours around 18 deg. Today, freezing, torrential rain and strong winds.
Better bring that wine cooler back in lol!

ReplyDeleteSorry to see you are having Winter Late, hope it doesn't come across "the pond" as it can do.
Our seasons seem to be in a real muddle at the moment, one day it's Spring, the next bleak Winter snow, I feel so sorry for the animals and birds caught up in this weird roller-coaster of temperatures and weather.

A beautiful card Pamellia, those paper are very pretty and so feminine. I love the look of all of the layered tags and your beautiful bow. I have never thought of making a frame out of corrugated card, what a fantastic idea.
ReplyDeleteSnow at last, snow at last but, just as you say, not now when all of the flowers are poking their heads out and the birds and animals are pairing off and making babies! Hs Mother Nature gone totally bonkers this winter?
Keep warm.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I came to visit your blog for inspiration! I love your pics! The planet is definitely mixed up! We have been cooking here in Australia, until the last week - I think Autumn has finally arrived. I even have a wrap around me as I sit at the computer typing this-yay:)
ReplyDeleteTruly the most delicate, dainty, sweet, soft and frilly card EVER Pamellia. It is just the epitome of chic feminism. My Mama would have totally loved receiving this card. So like her. It is a very very very very precious creation.

I laughed out loud seeing your 'missing' sweater covered in ice... not that it's funny but then again... it is!!! Brrrrrrrrrrrr - brrrrrrrrrrr. I love seeing your photos - but they sure make me shiver!!! XXj.
