Some cards for Sage


As I mentioned yesterday, I'm away in Minneapolis this weekend
for the Women of Faith Conference.
Sage wasn't very excited about me leaving her with the boys for the weekend,
so I made her a set of cards so that she could open one each evening.
I also wrote out her blessing in there for each night.

Here are the cards I made her, using this week's MIM at Papertrey Ink: Gold-Dipped Die-cuts
For each card, I used a sentiment from Slide Frame (I thought the tiny sentiments looked so cute!)
and leaves cut with the leaf from Nuts For You dies from American Crafts patterned paper
that I dipped in gold embossing powder and heated.


Here I stamped the squirrel from Nuts For You and water coloured him in.
 

Here, I water coloured the fox from Hello, Foxy.


And one last one with the kitty from Cat's Meow.

I love how they are all playing in the patterned paper, gold dipped leaves!

Thanks for looking!
