Hello again
I was going through my paper drawer the other day, and realised I haven't yet shared anything using this paper pack.

The card base is natural ivory. The first paper layer is the pattern sheet and the next is the corset. I have cut 4 strips from the tape measure sheet, snipped the ends and stapled them together at different lengths, then taped to the top right corner.
Two adv. panels were cut and fixed to the card using tape and dimensionals. Tiny clips were attached  to these.
The sentiment is by Whimsy stamps and is embossed with Aged aqua enamel. Two pearls are added to the top left corner.

As you may have realised by now, I always add an insert as I feel it gives a much more professional finish.
This one is from Happy day stamp set and is in crumb cake ink.
Keep Happy crafting

A Sympathy card today. Something we would like to never need.

This card is in Whisper white and smokey slate.
The front panel is embossed in clouds folder, and has slate chevron ribbon, fastened with a glimmer brad wrapped across the lower section. This panel is taped to the card front.
The image and sentiment are stamped with versamark and embossed with smokey slate powder. This is then die cut with an oval and paper pierced, and matted (offset) onto a same sized oval in slate.
This is then attached to the card with dimensionals.
Tiny pearls are added to the flower centres

The insert uses the same stamp set and slate ink.

Birdhouse cards

Hello
A couple of sweet cards today.  Lovely for Mum or that other special girl in your life.

This card front is embossed with a Darice folder and sanded back.
Stamps from Stampin'up and Kaszazz have been used on the clouds and for the birdhouse and coloured with watercolour pencils and stardust pens.
The clouds are die cut using a die from Joy crafts, and the grass and yellow bird are from a die by Marianne designs.
The fence, sunflowers and butterfly are stickers.

The sentiment is from JustRite stampers, and the tree image is by Judikins.

This card also is embossed with a Darice folder and sanded back.
The Victorian birdhouse is Cottage Cutz die, and the arched frame is Tim Holtz by Sizzix.
I taped acetate to the back of the arch and then added the birdhouse panel.
The bird and butterfly are brads, and the daisies are dimensional stickers.

All stamped images on both the front of the card, and the insert are from JustRite Stampers.










A couple of really sweet cards. I hope you agree.
Thank you for visiting and until next time

Celebrate Today-Wedding card

Good Morning
A rather special wedding card today

It is a square card in whisper white. I have cut a square aperture in the centre and then embossed the front in the dots folder, and rounded the top right corner.
I then diecut a lacey square (Spellinders) and cut it into a frame using the same sized die as the aperture. This frame was then embossed in the dots folder and sprayed with perfect pearl mist. A square of the printed acetate from Quatrefancy paper pack was then taped to the back of the frame and it was then attached with dimensionals to the front of the card.

Inside the card. A smaller card was made to open from the left and to fit behind the aperture. A lacey square was cut from Watercolour wonder paper, stamped with a sentiment from Perfectly penned and embossed in pewter powder. The edges of the square were paper pricked.

An insert was made for this card using stamps from Loving thoughts, warmth & wonder and mosiac madness, using smokey slate ink.
This small card was then taped centrally to the card, behind the aperture.

The card was then finished with 3 small paper roses tied with satin ribbon, and 3 small pearls either side
of this mini bouquet.
A special card for a special couple.
I hope you like it.
