Happy Birthday Pages Card

I have a fun card for you today.  I used an EK Success punch to punch the edges of three pieces of patterned paper and then decorated them with Dazzles (Hot off the Press) for the front of my card.

The one thing I would change is the position of the top page (this is the one with the message).  I would have put it in the middle.  Of course this revelation didn't come until well after the glue dried!

The different stickers worked ok to decorate the pages on my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Key to Happiness Card

 

 

My card today features Yuzen Washi paper from Japan.  This is the black and gold diamond patterned paper in the background.  This paper is not that expensive to get and comes in an incredible array of colors and patterns reflecting Japanese culture.  Art stores in the USA will sell what is called "parent" sheets.  These are the large sheets usually about 25 inches by 38 inches.  That means that you need to cut it down into usable pieces.

 

The online store (from Japan) that I use to get my washi paper is called Jun-Gifts.  Their selection is incredible and they ship quickly and in a tube so there are no creases in your paper when you receive it.

 

 

I added a die cut key from gold glossy and attached two crystals to the handle so they would dangle.

I added the tickets (Graphic 45) and fan (can't remember where I got that) and a brad to finished off my card.

Close Up!
I love adding jewels to my cards. I added these clear crystals to the key using jump rings.

Here is a close up look at the chipboard embellishments from Graphic 45 that I used.

And a peak at my fan.

I hope you enjoyed my card today!
