So I’m lucky enough to actually have a copy of this new issue in my hands – and let me just tell you that the content is nothing short of PHENOMENAL!!  We were asked to create a project for you that features the digital sentiments that are included in this and every Paper Crafts Magazine issue.  Here’s what I came up with:

I’ll be honest – I’ve never actually used the downloadable sentiments until now.  And now, I’m addicted!!  It was super easy to click on the sentiment, save it to my pictures, and then print it out for use on my card.  Another great feature?  You can make it any size and color that you like!! BONUS!

1.  Make card from cardstock.

2.  Download, size and print sentiment; trim into a strip the width of your card base.

3.  Trim panel and stamp floral vine; stamp flowers on scraps and fussy cut; adhere to floral vine with foam tape.

4.  Adhere image panel to card base with foam tape; adhere sentiment strip to card front.

5.  Embellish flower centers with self-adhesive pearls.

This all came together so easily, and I credit that beautiful sentiment with most of the ease!  I’ll most definitely be using some of the downloadable sentiments again!

 

Paper Crafts has very generously offered up a free Card Creations Volume 11 issue for a random commenter on each blog.  So leave me some love, and I’ll pick a random winner.  You have until Tuesday, March 12th to comment for a chance to win!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  The next stop on the hop is Rachel Izakowicz!  No doubt she has something delicious to share with you!  Oh, you’ll want to drop by the Paper Crafts Connection Blog for more fun and prizes, too!
