Autumn Woodland Cards

 Hello

These fun cards were created using Wild and Free, and Wild and Fun (sentiments) stamp sets.

 
Backgrounds were first created with Distress inks, then stamped and/or embossed, and matted with coloured card and layered on to the card base.
Images were stamped and coloured with pencils and inks then fussy cut and mounted on to the card fronts.
Gems, Glossy accents and Wink of Stella pens were used for highlights.

 
The hare card on the left was created in the same way as the previous two, and using the negative circle cut from the aperture frame on the owl card.
For the owl card, two circles were die cut from pearl card and the centre removed from one of the circles to create a frame. The stamped, coloured and fussy cut branch was fixed to the back of this and Acetate was attached to the back. Foam mounting tape was placed around the edge of the frame and this was filled with loose gemstones. The die cut circle was placed over the top to create the shaker.
Patterned paper was  matted on to card then layered on to the card base.
The shaker was positioned and fixed in place, and the owl added. 
Stamped, coloured and fussy cut leaves, and a sentiment were added, and gems and glossy accents applied to finish off.

Have a fun day

Butterfly Cards - Stampin'up

 Hello

Hope everyone is well and looking forward to a better year. We have a couple of butterfly cards today to cheer you.


This was a pre cut card. I removed the front butterfly section, and created a shaker card front filled with flower sequins, and gold foil card backing. This was then attached to a base card. The middle wings of the butterfly were glued to the acetate section and then coloured with alcohol markers. Stickles glitter glue filled the antena and body areas, and a sentiment, die cut from gold foil card was added, along with pearls and sequins.

This side step card was covered with papers and embellished with stamped and die cut butterflies, from Butterfly Brilliance set by Stampin'up. 
The sentiments are from Free as a Bird set, and were die cut using Stitched labels dies.
The leaves are from Forever Fern set.
Gems and Stickles glitter glue finished off the design.

Have a great day

Festive Holly 02 - Heartfelt Creations

 Hello

Festive Holly collection from Heartfelt Creations, has again be used for this set of cards.


A corner section of one of the large papers has been used here. It is layered on to red foil card and attached to a square, white base card. A sentiment panel was trimmed, layered on to red foil card, and mounted along with a lacy die cut corner and some die cut and assembled poinsettias. Glitter was applied to the flowers and glossy accents to the birds eyes and beaks and the berries. Red gems were added to the corners and to the die cut holly leaves.

These two cards use some of the smaller paper panels, layered on to frames, die cut from either foil or glitter card, and white card bases. Sentiments were also cut from the patterned papers.
Stamped, coloured and die cut elements were mounted on the cards, and gems, glitter glue and glossy accents applied.

Hope you are feeling as bright and cheerful as these cards.
