Feminine Floral Cards

Hello

I hope you are enjoying your crafting. For today we have a couple of pretty floral cards.


Camellia Wreath from Kaszazz was stamped on to white card and coloured with pencils and a waterbrush, and the sentiment stamped. The image was then cut using a stitched rectangle die. This was layered on to a purple die cut panel, and the base wrapped with ribbon tied into a bow. The panel was then mounted on to the card front. Pearls and glitter glue were then added for highlights.


This is a square top fold card, with a smaller square of paper layered on top.
The images from Bird Blossom by Stampendous, were stamped on to smooth watercolour card, coloured with pencils and a waterbrush, then die cut. These images were then layered and mounted on to the card front. A stamped and die cut sentiment label was tucked under the raised flower.
Gems were added, glitter glue on sections of the flowers, and glossy accents to the birds eye and beak. Sections of the bird were highlighted with Wink of Stella glitter pen.

Book Page Fold Cards

Hello

When I first saw this style of card fold, it was an open card and I thought it interesting but not really inspiring. Using the folded card as an insert, placing it into an outer card of the same size, made it much more impressive.


This card has a finished size of 15.2 x 12 cms.
A panel of Antique Linen Co-ordinations card was used for matting. The paper used is Passtime crafts. A second panel of the paper was used to fussy cut the bird and rose section at the base. This was mounted over the base image.
Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose and Leafy Accents, stamps, die and mould were used to create the large rose and leaves, and Tim Holtz Tiny Tattered Florals dies used for the small roses.
The Just for You sentiment stamp and tag die is by Just Rite.



For  the inside, Prima Botanical papers were used.
I first lined the centre of the outer card. All  inside panels were papered. The inside section of the card was then fixed in place, making sure all folds are tucked inside when closed.
The sentiment panel was added to the centre section and the roses and leaves to the corners.
Pearls, gems, Stickles glitter glue and Glossy accents were used for highlights.



This card is finished size of 5" x 7".
It is made in the same wasy as the first one but using different dimensions.
The papers and chipboard cuckoo clock used are Kaisercrafts Homemade collection. The flowers on the front are Tim Holtz Tattered florals die, the inside flowers are a Cheery Lyn die.



 This card is also 5 x 7 finished size.
I again altered the inside measurements to add an additional fold to the top and bottom sections.

Sentiment stamp is from Heartfelt Creations Melodious Songbird. Roses and leaves were created using stamps, dies and moulds from from Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose set.

Papers used are Stamperia Music collection. The harp was fussy cut and matted with brushed gold card.

Pearls, gems, stickles glitter glue, glitter gloss pens and glossy accents were used to highlight all cards.
A panel was added to the back of each card for a greeting.

I hope you find these cards inspiring enough to give this fold a try.

Till next time

Forever, Centre pop out Card - Kaisercraft


Hello

Key to My Heart papers and collectables from Kaisercraft were used for this card.


The inside of the outer card was fully covered in patterned paper.
For the card front two different patterned papers were layered together, wrapped with ribbon tied in to a bow and fixed to the card. Some collectables were added, and a die cut layered flower, and greeting.


For the centre pop out section, I folded the card then cut the folded edge and the outer edges with a curvy die. The covering paper was then cut with the same die, repositioning slightly to allow a small border along the top edges. these were fixed together and the edges sponged with ink.
The centre section of the outer card was embellished with die cut leaves and collectables, and the pop out section was attached inside the card. A border strip from the papers was placed across the bottom.


I stamped and die cut a label which can be added to make it  wedding card, and added a panel to the back for a message.
Gems and glitter glue were added both inside and on the front of the card for highlights.

Have a great day
