Centre Step Birds & Blooms, Heartfelt Creations

Hello

Hope you are having a good day.
This centre step card features papers, stamps and dies from Heartfelt Creations, Birds and Blooms collection.

The step base was papered with 2 layers of card panel papers. The front panel was papered with a card front panel, to which I added a die cut circle frame in dark green. I stamped, coloured (with distress inks), and die cut the leafy branches and flowers, and arranged these, along with a die cut tag from the papers, across the front base of the card.
The butterflies were highlighted with glitter gloss pen on the wings and glossy accents on the bodies.
Liquid pearls were added to the printed flower centres and gems to the die cut flowers. Stickles glitter glue highlights the flowers. Gems were also added to the circular frame and the top corners of the centre step panel.

A paper panel and sentiment strip were added to the inside of the card for a personal greeting.

I hope you enjoy this card.

Till next time

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

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.
