Split Panel Cards - Die Cuts With A View...

Hello,

Today's post features different versions of the split panel card - diagonally, horizontally and vertically.

The Happy Birthday die I have used is a Kaszazz Ezy-Press Die named Happy Birthday.

The gorgeous papers are from Die Cuts With a View Pads ......

The flowers have all been hand-cut from the paper using the same as the patterned layer. Adding the extra layer of card had really made the split panels pop! Finishing off with rhinestones and glossy accents on the wording.

These cards are really striking!

Masculine Milestone Birthday Cards

Hello

How is your day?

We have a couple of masculine themed cards for those milestone birthdays.

This card is a larger size 5" x 7" and was created using a paper tole design sheet. I have added metal brads and cogs to highlight parts of the design.

The above two cards feature images from Stampin'up Let it Ride set.

Images were stamped with archival inks on to white card and coloured with watercolour pencils. Stamped panels were matted on to woodgrain pattern paper, then on to the card bases.

Die cut sentiments are from Karen Burniston. Metal brads and brown pearls were added to the cards.

Feminine Milestone 60, 70, 80th Birthday Cards

Hello

We are continuing with our milestone birthday cards today, with ideas for 60, 70 and 80th birthdays.

This beautifully patterned paper (from Kaszazz), needed only a backing paper, some gems, ribbon, glitter, and a sentiment die cut from foiled card.

The yellow card is a patterned paper cut along the lines of the design, then pieced and layered on to a doily and a coordinating coloured paper. A silk flower is tucked behind the top curled corner. A ribbon tied into a bow, a resin flower, sentiment label, glitter and gems were added.

The blue card is patterned paper, with a gem flourish and a silk flower, layered onto a second paper, then on to the card front. A die cut foiled sentiment and pearls were added.

The blue card is a decoupage design, layered on to embossed paper, then on to pearl card. 

Glitter tape was placed on the card base, then the design panel, lace, and silver thread tied into a small bow. Pearls, gems and a sentiment label were added.

The final card is again a patterned paper with paper flowers and loops of silver thread. This was added to pearl card, then the card base. A stamped butterfly, The die cut sentiment, and gems were added.

Enjoy your day

Feminine Milestone, 30, 40, 50th Birthday Cards

Hello

How is your day going?
On going through my stash I found these sheets of pyramage and paper tole designs, so decided it was time to deal with them.

To the first design I added leaf sprigs die cut from green vellum, a layer of foil spotted vellum, a layer of blue card, ribbon, and a die cut sentiment, then layered it all on to a card base of deeper blue. Gems and stickles glitter glue finished off the design.

The second design was assembled on to a die cut oval layered on to patterned paper, which was matted to coordinating card, wrapped with ribbon, then fixed to a pink card base. A die cut sentiment, gems, and glitter glue were then added.

For this card, a panel of ivory card was embossed then coloured with gilding paste, layered onto coordinating card, then on to the card base. The assembled piece was added, along with die cut vellum leaves, and a multi looped twine bow. The die cut sentiment, gems and glitter were then added.

This design, along with die cut vellum leaves, was added to a die cut embossed oval, brocade patterned paper, then card wrapped with ribbon threaded through a rhinestone buckle. This was then layered on to the square card base. Stardust pen was added to the edges of the paper and card layers. The sentiment was die cut and added, then coated with glossy accents. Gems were added, and glitter applied to the leaves were the final touches.

Hello,

When you use butterfly and/or dragonfly images, you know you will always create beautiful cards and for this reason they are great images to use when making those 'Special' Birthday Cards.

The butterfly is a die from Stampin' Up - Butterflies Thinlits Dies.

The dragonfly is a punch from EK Success - Dragonfly.

The 'Happy Birthday" is die cut from Elizabeth Craft Designs - Happy Birthday.

The '50' is die cut from Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Die - Vintage Market Alphabet.

Did you notice the patterned paper also features butterflies? You could even say a flutter of butterflies!

I'm fluttering off to be creative!

Square Kraft Cards With a Natural Feel...

Hello,

Handmade paper, burlap flowers, leaf skeletons and more... Today's square Kraft cards have a very natural feel about them. The handmade paper on the first card has flowers and leaves pressed into it.

Golden leaf skeletons feature nicely with small gold rhinestones and glitter corners...

Kaszazz Ebony and Ivory papers create neutral but stunning backgrounds for the burlap flowers on these next two cards, with wooden embellishments and die-cut flourishes.

Kraft coloured card always seems to have a vintage feel to it, especially when your creation also features black elements. It's one of those colours that seems to co-ordinate with all the other colours!

Kaisercraft Captured Moments - 60th Birthday Card...

Hello,

Todays' beautiful card is created with multiple layers of card, glitter card and features Journal Cards from the Kaisercraft Captured Moments Antique Bliss Journal Card pack.

The pack contains 4"x6" cards so I created a larger card base and offset the layers with a bronze glitter card.

I die cut and applied glossy accents to the numbers, the 'happy birthday' is stamped from Stampin' Up's Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and the 'Beautiful life' is also cut from a Journal card from the pack.

I applied glossy accents to the wording on the front of and embellished with sequins and rhinestones.

A couple of the other cards in this pack feature beautiful sayings and images so I cannot wait to use these in future creations...
