Feminine Blossom Cards

Hello

I had a few left over flowers and sprigs in my box, so I finally used them to create these simple cards.


I layered the flowers (Tim Holtz tattered florals) together, added a fancy flower centre and some Stickles glitter glue. I mounted them over a stamped and die cut vase (Stampendous), along with some leaf sprigs (Memory Box), on to patterned paper then coloured card and an ivory card base. The sentiment (Just Rite) is white embossed and added to a die cut label.


This square card also has a Kaisercraft leaf stem added.


This card is a square trifold with an aperture in the top layer. Acetate was added to the back of the aperture. Pattern paper was stamped with the sentiment (Kaszazz) and placed behind. These layers were then taped together. A green scalloped square was die cut with a square aperture then added. The fancy filigree was die cut, and the centre square removed. This was then fixed over the card. A narrow square frame was fitted inside.
The flowers are Dogwood by Susans Garden. These were die cut and shaped then added to a branch die cut from Tim Holtz  small tattered florals. 
Pearls, gems and glitter glue were added.

Have a lovely day.

Till next time

Baptism, Christening Cards

Hello

We have a selection of Baptism and Christening cards to share today.


The circle and cross die has been cut from silver foil card and layered on to a partially embossed panel of white card, which has been edged with silver ink. The sentiment has been stamped with silver ink. A silver edged white ribbon was wrapped across the card and a bow added. This panel was then layered on to silver foil card and added to a white card base. Pearls were added to the top corners and some of the crosses.



For the left card, pattern paper was wrapped with gold edged white ribbon threaded through a rhinestone buckle, and added to the card base. An oval frame (stampin'up) was die cut and embossed from shimmer card and attached, partly over the ribbon. A gold cross (stampin'up) was die cut and layered on to a white shimmer card cross and mounted in the oval. The sentiment was stamped in gold ink, die cut, and layered on to a gold scalloped oval and added to the card. Gold pearls finished the design.
The second card has a white pearl card embossed panel wrapped with gold edged white ribbon. A gold foil cross, edged with silver was mounted on to a pearl card oval then on to a blue pearl scalloped oval. this was then mounted on to a larger, stamped white oval matted with a blue pearl scalloped oval, and added to the base. Blue pearls were used on this card.


This card has a die cut filigree frame (Kaisercraft) layered over silver and white striped paper added to the card base. The cross and leafy flourish ( Kaszazz) are die cut from silver foil card. A bow of silver and white organza was added, and silver pearls.


























Kaszazz papers were used for the backgrounds. Spellbinders dies for the ovals and hexagons.
Sentiments are from Kaszazz.
I hope you find these ideas inspiring.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying their crafting.
These cards and bottle tag have been created using stamps and papers from Kaszazz.


Lemon patterned paper is layered on to green patterned paper, then on to a white card base and a strip of natural ribbon placed across the bottom.The glass image was stamped and coloured with pencils then fussy cut. The sentiment label was stamped then layered on to pattern paper, and both pieces were then added to the card with magic mount.  Glitter pen was added over drink and lemon slice, and stickles glitter glue to the lemon blossom. Gems were added to finish off.


                              


The bottle tag has tile paper cut and layered on to reversed tile paper which has been stamped with celebrate. This was then layered on to navy card then on to the white tag.  Ribbon and gems were added then the stamped and fussy cut glass and sentiment.

The second card has cheers stamped and silver embossed on to dark paper, then layered on to navy card. Tile paper has been cut into a frame shape, layered on to navy card for strength and then mounted to the card front. Glasses were stamped, silver embossed, coloured with pencils then added to the card along with a stamped and fussy cut label. Sparkly pen was added to the glasses and gems to the top left corners.

Shaped Double Easel Card

Hello

Following the creation of  the triple easel card, we moved onto a double easel (they can be a little addictive). They are very effective and quite easy once you know how.




This card uses a die cut label for the base.
First cut and fold your card to size then die cut making sure to overlap the die with your fold. Score and fold the front in half then add another die cut shape to the front stand.

Make the card in two sizes, embellish, then layer together
fitting the smaller card inside the larger outer card.
My card is decorated using the Spring flower stamps and dies from Kaszazz. A ribbon bow, gems and glitter glue add the finishing touches.

Give them a go.
