My samples for the call include:
Catty Christmas card
Love this wonderful May Arts ribbon in pink - awesome that I could "shed" it as if the cat got a hold of it before I used it on my card - simple but effective don't you think?
Happy Mothers Day card
Loved this wood grain pattern paper, but wanted a more feminine look - out came May Arts crocheted trim - the perfect finishing touch. Love that the cream color of the trim worked well with the pattern paper I chose.
Hello card
May Arts Crocheted trim adds texture, color and dimension to this sweet card. The trim "gives" a little so you can stretch and tie it as needed, and it still retained its shape.
Baby Buggy Favors
Nothing screams baby shower like a baby buggy
Adding May Arts lace trim and little bits of ribbon were the perfect finishing touch to this little party favor and it was so easy to make!!!
