5 for $5 !!

Hello Everyone!!

Happy Monday!!!

Today I sent quite a longtime in my craft room. I created a card set for 5 for $5 Challenge in the Moxie Fab World .

5 cards sound easy....but the trick is to make 5 different cards for just $5.

When it comes to creating in small budget I favorite choice of patterned paper is the  double sided Quadrant prints, you get 5 different prints for the price of one.

So here is what I used for this challenge.....

Here is the price break up ..

Echo Park Papers------------2 x $.79=$1.58

4-Cardstock------------------4 x $.20= $0.80

Ribbon------------------------------------$0.50

 Pearls-------------------------------------$0.50

  Black pen-------------------------------$1.00

So the total comes to $4.38.

 

Now lets see the cards....

I did lot of fussy cutting! All the sentiment is from Border patterned paper.

The lil' extra thing I added is a bit of Diamond stickles.

Hello Everyone!!!

Hoping your enjoying the Easter weekend!!!

Today I've two CAS cards to share with you all.... inspired by RIC#9-Preen.

A very simple birthday card with lots of bling , a Studio Calico butterfly and SRM Sticker sentiment.

The SRM stickers are a RAK from Virginia....thanks Virginia!!!

This card is also for Household Items Challenge in the Moxie Fab World . You must be wondering where is the household item?????

If you look closely  at flowers you'll get the answer....flowers are not any stamps, I just used OKRA to stamp these flowers.

Its super easy and fun....just cut the different size of OKRA and ink it up ( I used distress inks) and stamp. You get a great variety of size.

I had so much fun making the 1st card ...I couldn't stop , I made another one too.

I combined my OKRA stamp and Hero Arts butterfly stamp for this one.

Sentiment sticker  is from E.A.D. Designs .

These cards are for the following challenges...
