More Flowers in a Jar

I wanted to see if I could use the Candlelight Christmas Designer Series Paper for a non-Christmas card.  What do you think, did it work?

Catch and Release Butterflies

While the outside of the card is beautiful by itself, what really makes this card is the "pop" of the inside.  To make your own pop-up spiral card, punch a circle (I used the 2 1/2 inch circle), and cut it into a spiral shape.  Using sticky tape or glue dots, adhere the outside edge of the spiral to the bottom part of your card.  Place another piece of sticky tape in the middle of your spiral and close the card, thus adhering the spiral to the top part of your card.  When you re-open the card, your spiral is ready to decorate!

Owl Occasions Birthday



The inspiration from this card came from the Holiday Mini catalog, which is available to customers today!  Click here to start shopping!  In the catalog, the owl was shown with Christmas stockings, but the neat thing about this stamp set is that cards can be customized for other occasions, including birthdays.
