Hi Everyone, I had a quick card to do, as usual! I used to have a great desktop calendar, that showed me on the screen a birthday and a month before too, so I had plenty of time to make a card. However, I now have Google Calendar and not impressed, although it comes up with the information, I then go on to something and forget until the last moment. Maybe it's just an old age thing, but I wish they would have updated my old calendar.
Anyhow, back to my card, as I said a quick one, I took a tip from the We Love Stamping Challenge and used florals, no stamping though.
Fabulous Florals
I have this gorgeous digital paper in my files, so I printed it and die cut it to fit the card. I then die cut another layer of pink card to layer the floral onto. Next I took a butterfly die and cut it out of the same pink card and die cut a sentiment from blue card.

sentiment die - Cut & Make
I then went into PS and made an insert, by enlarging the floral paper to the size of the card, next adding 2 white squares. I then added a butterfly to one and a sentiment onto the other, printed it out and cut it to size, card done.
Hi Faith
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgesous papers and pretty die cuts used to make this lovely card.
If you have an iPhone (or iPad) - their calendar allows you to set a week's notice on an event such as a birthday. So that might help a bit?

This is beautiful Faith, love the paper, its super pretty, and the insert is equally as gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the calendar thing, I am no use with anything other than the good old fashioned paper one I replace each year, haha, so many people think its nuts, but it works for me. xx
What a real beauty Faith and such a pretty design inside and out.

Absolutely gorgeous card, inside and out! I'm with you on the old age thing and forget everything if it's not written down. I use the Google calendar on my laptop and pull it up with my email every morning when I get on. It works for me.
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty and I love how you continued the pattern on the inside. It's a very striking card.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous digital card that certainly doesn't look like a quick one! Love this!
ReplyDeleteReally really pretty and I love the inside as much as the front!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having some summer fun, xoxo

ReplyDeletewhat a pretty card .Love the floral paper and butterflys are the perfect addition .Thanks for your visit and cooments for my postings .
ReplyDeleteThat paper really did deserve to be centre stage Faith and you have made a beautiful card with it. I'm with you about wishing companies wouldn't make changes for changes' sake! It's a paper calendar for me and it's always nice to have more pretty pictures on my walls! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card Faith. One way I find to get reminders of birthdays and other events is to have them stored in my phone/ipad calendar, and you can set event reminders to happen automatically in settings xx
