  • Love Heart (Two)


    A sweet, pretty in pink, Valentine, wedding or anniversary card using some new dies & paper. Looks fancy, but it’s easy to make & the bonus is you can make a second, opposite card using the leftover paper & die cuts. (That will be coming in a later post.)

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC946) we are visiting My Red Door & their Pinterest Board where I was inspired by THIS pillow.

    For my card, I die cut the beautiful heart w/ birds once out of white & again using the pink patterned paper. I used the Love die & cut the word in the top of the white heart, allowing the pink paper to show through.  I used the pink outline of the heart w/ the white inside of the second heart. The fancy background was cut out of white & backed with the rest of the pink paper. The missing heart in the center of the pink paper is covered by the fancy white layer, so no one will know it’s even missing. The little bird bodies were also cut out in areas that wouldn’t be seen.

    The birds have white wings added & the birds as well as the big heart are popped up a bit for dimension. Three white half pearls were attached in each of the four corners.

    Thanks

  • Merry Santa


    A fun, die cut, glittery Santa card using die cuts & a heat embossed (partial) greeting. Easy & fun to make since no coloring & only a bit of embossing.

    A big congrats to Karen, the newest Featured Stamper. She had a fabulous, scrappy gallery & I chose THIS page for my inspiration. I kept the Santa hat image & die cut greeting, but used different dies, glittery paper & made mine a Christmas card.

    My Santa card is really easy. Everything was die cut out of either white or red glitter card. The small stamped greeting under the Merry die cut was heat embossed using some white, sparkly powder. It was all attached to a black background & I popped up the die cuts a bit for some dimension.

    Thanks

  • Thanksgiving Turkey


    A Thanksgiving card featuring a new crazy turkey die. This turkey is so fun to make & I love being able to choose what colors I want for the individual feathers, Add a few or a bunch, like I die. Also a great way to use of scraps of different paper.

    A big congrats to Anita, the newest Featured Stamper (FS873)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case.  I kept the layout & big circle element, but I used different dies, some designer paper, a turkey in place of the flowers, & made mine a Thanksgiving card.

    After die cutting all the turkey parts, I put them together, using die cut pieces of card board to elevate the turkey body, heat & feet & also to give them some stability. I cut a bunch of colors of the feathers & ended up using all of them. I like a turkey w/ a full tail. For the background, I die cut the designer paper, then die cut a circle into it & placed a harvest gold circle behind it, before attaching them to a piece of olive green. The partial greeting was stamped onto the gold circle & I used 2 circle stitch dies to cut the rust colored circle frame (see pic below).
