Card: A Golden Celebration

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post! I'm so glad you have joined me for today's project! I needed a beautiful anniversary card to celebrate a beautiful milestone...a 50th wedding anniversary! I recently received the Heart & Home collection and I just had to use that set for today's card! 

And here is today's project...

The sentiment was perfect here and it really says it all.  I CASEd the January - June 2022 Mini-Catalog for the layout of today's card.  Look to page 60 and you'll see a similar layout and the inspiration for today's creation.  I started with a layer of Night of Navy on top of the card base which is stamped with "Happy Anniversary" on alternating lines.  I really wanted to celebrate this card and used the Be Dazzling Designer Series Paper to help gives this card some pop on the next layer.  I stamped the beautiful, flowering image on Basic White and die-cut using the Flowers of Home die-cuts.  Add a white embossed sentiment for the finishing touch.

Check out some close-ups below...

Card: Getting Ready for Valentine's Day!

Hello and Welcome! 

Welcome to today's post! I realized the other day that Valentine's Day is just a short 22 days away! What?! So today I got started on some Valentine's crafting! I pulled out some oldies but goodies and combined them with one of our more recent stamp sets for today's Valentine's Day creation. 

And here is today's project...

So this is one of those "everything but the kitchen sink" cards! I love it when I can just have fun by adding...and adding...and adding! A sweet combination of die-cuts, punches, twine and embossing come together to create this standard A2 Valentine beauty.  I started with a base of Real Red cardstock and then layered with a sheet of Vellum and From My Heart Designer Series Paper.  Layered on top of that is a fun selection of hearts in all different shapes and sizes.  Don't forget to use your mini-dimensionals to create that 3-D look! I even pulled out the old embossing tool today and worked up the lovely "Lovely You" sentiment surrounded by From My Heart gems.  Check out some close-ups below...

Card: A Welcome Thank You

 Hello and Welcome! 

Welcome to today's post! I am so excited to share the first card of the 2022 New Year! It has been quite a long time since the last ATXPaperHouse post, but I am so excited to be back! Life has been so crazy and so busy, so sometimes something has to give.  I'm glad I have been continuing to make cards because it brings me so much joy, but this week I've finally had the time to share some of that creativity with all of you! 

And here is today's project...

Today's card features the lovely Flower and Fields DSP.  I love the big, bold colors of this paper and I have pulled out the Bumblebee and Real Red as the highlights of this card.  Real Red was used as the base of this card and I love the stamped wood grain in Bumblebee.  It is a simple card to put together with a base of cardstock, DSP and sentiment on the stitched shapes die-cut cut-out.  Don't forget to add a few Classic Matte Dots for a little bling! 

Check out some close-ups below...
