Handmade Inspiration Board #1: Fall + Quilting

I recently learned of a great (compact) way to create inspiration boards from the very talented Holly Becker of Decor8. I love the idea of creating a board the size of a file folder that you can fold up and take anywhere- to use as reference or store very easily! It's large enough to include all the important details, but small enough to take on the go!

The first board I would like to share on my blog is inspired by fall + quilting (very similar to the card I posted here). Obviously I can't help but create fall inspired things during this season, and now is the perfect time to share it! The colors are; brown, ivory, red and navy. I hope this board helps you to come up with some great ideas for your next craft project! Enjoy! xo

Parisian Love

Since February is the month for love, I thought I would share this love inspired card I created using the Pink Paislee Parisian Anthology collection.

The wording on the kraft paper was scanned from the fancy filigree pattern paper and placed in the middle of the card front. I also added a few extra Parisian clip art images to the top & bottom of the card, provided by the Graphics Fairy.

 The embroidery floss and ivory floral button, act as a faux closure to the front of the card.

This card was a lot of fun to make, and I absolutely LOVE this collection! Enjoy!
