 Good Afternoon

A Christmas card in November, only just made it.

I used a 6"x6" base card.

Cut a piece of patterned paper slightly smaller than the base card and attach to the main card. Cut out a decorative square in white card 11.5cm. Die cut three snowflakes of different sizes out of the square. Add a piece of red card to the back of the square so that the snowflakes are red at the front side. Attach  the square to the card. Die cut snowflakes of different sizes in the patterned paper and white card and add to the card with foam pads. Die cut a greeting and add to the card and finish off with Glitter Glue on the snowflakes as in the picture. Add Metal stickers or Pearls to the card.

Happy Birthday.. Happy Birthday.. Happy Birthday.

 Good Morning Everybody

I have posted a birthday card which if you change the colours of the inks it could be for a female or male card.

Close up..

I have used a 6"x6" White base card.

I stamped a birthday background stamp three times with different coloured inks, embossed them with clear embossing powder then cut each of them out. Die cut a scalloped square 14cm then using the same square cut 13cm to form a frame as in the picture. I embossed the frame with a check embossing folder. Attach the frame to the main card but before sticking down add the stamped images to the corners, top left, bottom right. Add the third stamped image to the centre of the card. Die cut another frame  8cm and 6cm and add to the centre image with foam pads. Colour a piece of white card 15cm x 2cm with one of the inks, then emboss with clear embossing powder. Emboss this strip with a greeting embossing folder. Add the strip to the centre of the card using tape at the ends and foam pads in the centre. Colour a small piece of white card with another ink and emboss with clear embossing powder and die cut two photo corners. Add to the card as in the picture.

Thank you so very much....

 Good afternoon,

I am back with a' Thank You' card. We need one of these cards every now and again. I have made this one using an A5 Kraft card, landscape and embossed the front section of the card with a check embossing folder.

Close up.....

Die-cut a cream piece of card 15cm x 12cm, then run through with the embossing folder used on the front of the card. Add to the main card 1.5cm from the left edge. Add a strip of co-ordinating paper across the front 8cm x 12.5cm. Wrap a piece of string around the front of the card twice and finish off at the left edge with a bow. Die-cut three rectangles 8cm x 4.5cm from the cream card and stamp the flower in each rectangle with a different coloured ink, then emboss with clear embossing powder. Stamp the flowers again, emboss then cut out and attach to the main flowers as in the diagram. Add the three rectangles to the card on foam. Stamp around the edges of the main card using a background stamp. Stamp out a greeting and add to the card. Finish off with Liquid Pearls in the centre of the flowers.
