Authentique Paper Guest Post + Giveaway

I am so excited that I was invited to have the opportunity to do a guest spot for Authentique Paper.

I am mostly using papers from the line called CAREFREE.

I came across this thing at my local thrift store.

I have no idea what it was originally for, but I have needed a cute napkin holder for my kitchen table for a long time.

I used lots of different prints from my 6 x 6 Carefree bundle.

I love Authentique’s different alphabet stickers and have quite a few from their different lines.

 I used those alphas to spell out gently manner reminders that I am always needing to remind my kids of.

I applied all the papers with Modge Podge so this would last a long time.

I also mixed in some old sheet music to add some different colors to the project.  The blue paper is from Authentique Paper’s Genuine Line.

I sometimes create things for posts I have no need for, but this is one thing I will use everyday!

Red is my favorite color and goes perfect in my home.

I hope you like this as much as I do.

Next, using the same Carefree Line, I made a small plaque that could be used as a gift for a new mom.

Wouldn’t this be perfect sitting on a shelf or hanging on a wall in a baby’s room?

Using Authentique Paper’s different alphabet stickers, you can customize something like this any way you’d like.

I just love the floral print on the purse!  I would love to have some FABRIC in that print!  AHHHHHH!

I hope you have enjoyed my small visit back with my lovely friends at  Authentique Paper.

Do you know anyone with a baby named MAE?  Do you just love this plaque and want to change the name yourself??

Criss Cross Bliss Card

I came across an awesome tutorial for this Criss Cross card.

You can find the link HERE.

I do have to warn you, I don’t think the directions are very accurate.

After a few revisions, I came up with this lovely card to share today.

This card is one of those things that after I am done, I could kick myself for not writing down the dies I used as I was going along.

I will try my best to let you know all of the dies I used.  On the card base I used:

ZIG ZAG RIC RAC, SWEDISH SPRING OVAL AND QUEEN ANNE’S LACE.

For the band around the card I used FRANCESCA BORDER, TIFFANY BORDER AND BORDER CARNIVALE.

The sentiment focal point attached to the band, I used the following dies:

SCALLOPED OVAL, MINI FLOURISH ONE, BUTTONS 1, BLACK EYED SUSANS EMBOSSING PLATE, MEDIUM ROSE AND MINIATURE ROSE.

Here is the card with the band removed, you can see the Criss Cross Base in back.

All the paper is the brand new line from Authentique Paper called:

CAREFREE

I love the way this turned out and I think it would make a perfect Mother’s Day card.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today.
