Betsy's Cards
I am so excited to be sharing four cards, made with the fabulous Echo Park, Graceful collection. These are so quick and easy to put together, as there is a wonderful range of chipboard and stickers. Here at Artfull Crafts we are going to create packs so YOU can make these cards too! Keep your eye on the blog and Facebook for when they are available.

Here I've made a banner with the layered chipboard stickers and some twine. I love that stuff! Spellbinders Labels Eight is a favourite of mine for card backgrounds.

Well, it's never a card without a Martha Stewart punch, some pretty papers and organza ribbon! The quality of the chipboard is excellent - so I've made good use of the packet!

Graceful papers look fabulous made up into little rosettes using the Tim Holtz dies. I also love to use my sewing machine to pleat ribbons and make a patchwork effect on the lovely papers.

This is called "Mish Mash!" Old ladies like me should be playing Bingo - but here I am making cards instead!! I hope you've enjoyed my selection.

The next blog to visit on the list is Nancy and don’t forget to leave a comment and become a follower to win some fabulous giveaways.
