Hydrangeas Pages and Greetings to Go

I consider myself quite blessed to have sixteen feet of space to plan out the fourteen pages for our monthly collections. The whole process takes a few days, and it really gives me the chance to experience the potential of a kit. Get your hands on Hydrangeas and tap that potential!

Once I'm finished getting it all figured out, I try to make sense of all of my notes and sketches. Then I set out to write the instructions.

Here are the pages . . .

Use a craft knife to cut a slot in the White Print to accommodate the photo mattes.

The colorful pieces on these pages will arrive as a white raised print. You get to be the designer!

The die cut frames in this collection go a long way to embellish the pages. I love how they all nest together.

Cut slots into the printed border on the left side and slide the cutaparts beneath.

The Metallic Purple Pearls make swift work of finishing things up with a little flair.

The green wired ribbon that comes in the embellishment pack is a beauty!
(But Deb says it was really a pain to trim and insert into the collection, poor thing.)

The yellow tulle ties easily into a bow without the intervention
of a fork or some sort of other piece of bow-making equipment.
Deb liked it, too.

Next up, the fifteen Greetings to Go Cards.

There are endless possibilities for the fun doilies we added. Paint them, make rosettes, ink them, use 'em as stencils . . . 

When was the last time you used a postage stamp scissors? See if you can dig one up.

I had a lot of fun with a faux stitched card inspired by Marya's awesome blog. 

If you'd like more information about how I created the cards, be sure to download the Greetings to Go Instructions.
