Freebie Friday – Painterly Cards

This week’s Freebie is a set of Painterly Floral Cards. They make a great starting base for so many different crafting techniques. Consider using them for business cards, artist trading cards, card fronts, ephemera, hidden paper clips, junk journals, glue books, color inspiration, and more…

This is a single 8.5″ x 11″ PDF file, however, you can change the size of the images in your printer dialog box to fit your craft needs.

My favorite printer brand for many years has been HP. I also use their ink supply service where I pay a monthly fee and they send me ink cartridges as needed. It comes out to be a lot less money this way. The HP Envy Inspire is a great-priced machine that will produce beautiful prints.

And if you are looking for a great crafting weight paper for printables, I have been using HP Project Paper. It is heavier than copier paper but not quite as heavy as cardstock. It is a great medium weight for layering, folding, and more!

Freebie Friday – Floral Music

Combining sheet music and flowers for these beautiful card fronts. You can change the size in your printer dialog and use them for other paper crafting.

I love how this coffee filter flower turned out. It was so fun to make. I know I will be making more of them because they are so applicable to different crafts.

DIY Inexpensive Floral Embellishments

How to make inexpensive floral embellishments from Dollar Tree materials.

I have had so much fun making these colorful flowers. Would you believe me if I told you I spent a total of two dollars and I haven’t even made a dent in my supplies? OK, the colors came from a variety of products I already had on hand so I guess you could argue it costs more. I share with you a variety of different techniques so hopefully, it will cover some products you already own and will not need to purchase. Plus, you can make these flowers into the colors you need specifically for your craft project.

Video Demonstration:

I found that placing the leaves on the back of the flowers left some glue dot uncovered, which could be used to adhere the flowers to my projects. I decided to place a glue dot on the back of all of the flowers and place them on a coated surface for storage.
