Today, we're taking a look at two simply adorable projects created by designer Courtney Kelley:

Courtney's Notes: Today I have two cards to share that I created with a few Pockets & Pages dies and the Simple Stories Collection - A Charmed Life. This bright collection had me thinking of fun & happy cards - so I decided to create a good luck card and a general encouragement card. 



Courtney's Notes: For my first card I paired the Pockets & Pages - 3x4 Photo Frame with A Charmed Life Insta-Squares and a couple of flower accents. The 4x4 Insta-Squares are the perfect size to use inside the Pockets & Pages die cut.

Courtney's Notes: To create my card I die cut the Pockets & Pages - 3x4 Photo Frame from the Whitewashed Wood paper, then die cut the Insta-Square to fit inside the frame for my sentiment. Lastly, I added a bit of zig zag stitching and layered a Bits & Pieces flower and a Cardstock Sticker flower.

Good Luck supplies:

Courtney's Notes: My second card features a bunch of simple elements that I die cut using the Pockets & Pages - Essentials 2x2 and Label It along with a couple of chipboard hearts from the Charmed Life Collection.

Courtney's Notes: To create the banners I used a Label It die to cut the two banners and then trimmed off the right side to make them a bit smaller. The Smile sentiment was die cut from an Insta-Square and the blue banner is the blue camera paper found in the A Charmed Life 6x6 paper pad. To cut the arrow I used a die that is part of the Pockets & Pages - Essentials 2x2 set and then added to the mix a couple of chipboard hearts.
