This is a pocket card with a pull out book mark. The card base is Neenah
Solar Crest White 140lb stock. On that I layered a piece of design
paper from the ODBD Chalkboard Paper Collection. Then I cut a curvy edge with the Leafy Edged Borders dies and cut my diagonal pocket to fit. I then embossed that panel and adhered it with tacky tape on the bottom and left side. I cut my removable book mark/tag with the ODBD Vintage Label dies, and Vintage Flourish Pattern die set. I stamped the sentiment from the new Beauty stamp set on a scrap of design paper in my stash. I decorated the tag with one size of the new Pretty Posies die set, a Fancy Flourish die cut, and I stamped and die cut the little butterflies with the Butterfly and Bugs stamp set and matching Butterfly and Bugs die set. I added a corner die cut from the Ornate Borders and Flowers die set to the top and punched a hole, passing thin satin ribbon through that.
The pocket itself was decorated by cutting 2 of each of the 3 sizes in the Pretty Posies set from white card stock and sponging with distress ink. I then used my embossing tools to shape each layer and glued them together. I cut three of the largest leaves in that set and stenciled while still in the die, then shaped them the same way. Some Stickles in the center, a little gauze, ribbon and a few more butterflies finished it off.
For the card above, I used the Home Sweet Home set for my sentiment. I used the ODBD Custom Window Dies, Shutter and Awning Dies, and Flower Box Fillers. I also used Antique Labels and Border Die set to cut the sentiment with, and Fancy Foliage. I used the Butterfly and Bugs stamp to stamp and heat emboss the butterfly on vellum, and cut it with the ODBD Custom Butterfly Dies & Bugs Die. The design paper is the ODBD Shabby Rose Paper Collection.
For this card, I used the wonderful Belles Vignes, Trois Jolis Papillons, and Psalm 23 for my stamps. I also used the matching dies, ODBD CustomTres Papillons, and another die, ODBD Custom Birds and Nest, along with the Fancy Foliage and Vintage Labels dies.
If you'd like to see all the samples in one place, be sure to stop by the ODBD Blog to check it out!

I really like the 4 cards you chose which gave me many ideas. I really like the colors, flowers, butterflies and the bookmark card. Keep up the good work! Praying for you as you go through this difficult time of chemo.
Loved all these cards, but the WINDOW card is my favorite of the 3.
Wonderful meshing of the printed paper, lace, and die cuts.
You do such wonderful art, and it is an inspriation to us that don't know where to start. Thank you.
Hope you are mending. My prayers are sent each day, with you included.

Absolutely Beautiful cards! Love, Love, love them!
Your cards are all beautiful, however, your window card is my favorite out of these three. I'm partial to the scrolls, window and flowers you used, as well as the color combination. I don't know how you do it, but combining the wood background with the elegance of the scrolls and window, make this card stunning.
Your cards are just lovely. Beyond your card making, I admire your strength and courage in your battle with cancer. You always have such a positive, uplifting attitude. Stay strong while we all are praying for you.
