Happy Holidays on vellum Word Art

 Hello Paper Artists

A Holly card image is my choice for this quick & easy card.

It is mounted on cream cardstock & embellished with a burgundy organza ribbon tied in a bow with long tails. The tails are looped & glued to give depth to the ribbon.  Some holly berries & green leaves are the only other embellishment.

The word art is printed on vellum & foam mounted above the berries at an angle. (the foam dot should not be seen like this - should have been further to the corner under a berry)

Inside the card is a smiling Santa cut & create

Inside card - spot to tuck sentiments or $$

Bye for now - more cards coming

Birthday, Engagement or Wedding Card

  Hello everyone & welcome!

Leanne, back with you today and I am sharing another card that I have created using the "Lavender & Mint collection". 

These gorgeous digital patterned papers are available from Meg's Garden Papercraft Etsy store. 

I have made a large card; it measures 11.5 x 21 cm when folded. This card would be wonderful as a Birthday, Engagement or as a Wedding card.

Simply make:

For the card base you will need a piece of white cardstock that measures 29.5 cm wide x 21 cm high. 
I have scored along the wide section at 9 cm, then at 20.5 cm, fold then burnish each score line.

Front panel:

Cut a piece of green cardstock to 8.5 x 20.5 cm, distress the edges of the paper with a distressing tool,
ink using distress ink: old paper, then adhere to front panel as shown.

Cut patterned paper to 7.5 x 19.5 cm, distress, ink using distress ink: milled lavender, then adhere to green cardstock.

Cut image from the cut & create sheet. Add a strip of gold & purple papers to the image as shown before adhering this whole piece to the centre of the front panel.

Inside panel:

Cut a strip of green cardstock 2.5 x 20.5 cm, distress, ink and adhere as shown. Add a length of lace to green cardstock.

Cut a strip from the patterned paper 6 x 20.5 cm, distress, ink and adhere to card. 

          

To embellish the front of my card I have fussy cut my butterflies from an ephemera piece, then fix each butterfly in place with glue. Next add some lace and string of pearls as shown.

I have punched out 6 small flowers from some patterned paper. The flowers were shaped, inked then fixed in place.

To finish my card I have added some stickles glitter glue to the rose image & small flowers.

Until next time.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
I hope you have a wonderful day & happy creating.

Happy Birthday to You

Hello everyone & welcome!

Today, I Leanne want to share with you this Special Occasions card.
It was made with the delightful digital paper set "Lavender & Mint #MG501."

I have created a Centre step card.  

My card base was created using plain Lavender coloured cardstock.

I then cut a piece from one of the digital patterned papers, this has adhered to the centre panel. I have inked my papers with Tim Holtz's distress ink called Milled Lavender. 

Next, I die cut a piece of green cardstock, raised this with some cardboard before adhering it in place. 

I then die cut a piece of patterned paper, cardboard was added, before fixing to the die-cut green piece.

I have fussy cut the image from one of the cut & create sheets, this was adhered using 3D foam tape.

My butterflies have been punched out of some offcut pieces from the patterned papers.  

I don't like to throw any paper away as the scrap pieces are ideal for die cut & punched out shapes.

My card has been embellished with die-cut & punched out shapes, jute twine, lace, decorative trim and self-adhesive pearls.

A Lavender Card

Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy back with a new project share!

I have created a card using the beautiful new Lavender with Mint Collection.

One of my favorite colour combinations is purple with green,
and this collection is just that...and more!

For my first card, I have focused on the purple,
and made a tri-fold card.

Here it is folded flat:

This is what it looks like standing up:

I cut the base from purple cardstock,

then I printed two of the Lavender with Mint Papers, and cut the card panels out.

Each panel is decorated with fussy cut images from the Collection.

The "Les Fleurs" on the front cover is from the Summer Garden Cut and Create.

Although I've made mine as a card,

I think this would make a great journal insert.

With that in mind, I added a belly band to the back panel,

and tucked in the tag from the collection.

The cut file includes an envelope.

I cut it out of purple cardstock, and added this beautiful journal card to the front of it.

I added a fussy cut flower to the back for a flap tuck.

It makes such a pretty set!

Summer Garden Cards

  Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy here today!
I'm very happy to be sharing my first DT projects with you.

I have created two cards with the gorgeous Summer Garden Collection.
This collection includes:

Summer Garden Papers,

and the Summer Garden Cut and Create Ephemera Papers.

Combined they include more than 16 pages of creative fun!
The possibilities are endless! 

Here's my first card:

Isn't that a pretty combination? 

I used Page 3 of the Summer Garden Papers,

It comes with the gorgeous gazebo on it.

Then I fussy cut that fabulous bench and added it to my scene.

We all need this bench in our collection! 

It's one that I'll be using often.

I also fussy cut the "Love My Garden" and added it.

Both the bench and the sentiment are part of the 

Summer Garden Cut and Create Ephemera Papers. 

Of course I needed a sweet bird for my garden scene;
this one was fussy cut from one of the ephemera cards
I added him with a piece of foam tape.

Finally, I scattered just a few floral sequins on my card.
Isn't that gazebo fabulous? 

Okay, now onto my second card:

As soon as I saw this gorgeous gate,

I knew I had to make a gateo-fold card!

 This is a PNG file that is included in the Cut and Create Ephemera Papers.

I added it to Page 10 of the Summer Garden Papers before printing it out.

I made my gate-fold card base from brown cardstock,

and then cut the gate right down the center,

before adhering it to the card base.

Then I fussy cut the butterfly out, matted it,

and added it to the center of my gate.

One side of the butterfly is adhered in place,

while the other side has some repositionable adhesive.

It makes a wonderful closure!

I used more of the paper on the inside of the card.

I also added several of the Poppy images to the inside,

along with one of the pretty sentiments.

These are all found in the 

Summer Garden Cut and Create Ephemera Papers. 

Our garden is always FULL of poppies - just like this card!

They're one of my favorites! :o)

Pretty in blue card

Hello everyone,

Today I would like to share with you a card that I have created with the latest release from Meg's Garden Paper Inspiration online store, Vintage Journals cards.

There is a wonderful range of vintage images in this collection, suitable for all styles of paper craft.

I chose this beautiful image to create my blue and white card.
This card has lots of layers using some background paper from Meg's Garden plus plain and coloured card stock. I have used a paper distressing tool, paper punches, an embossing folder and distress ink to add texture and interest to the paper pieces. I also added lace, pearl trim, ribbon, some glitter glue and a blue rose to embellish my card.

Until next time.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a wonderful day & happy creating.

Happy Birthday

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am sharing a shabby chic/vintage styled card which I created using the French Roses Collection from Meg's Garden. While planning my design for my card, I gave myself a challenge to use some products from my stash that I haven't used in a long while.

The results: border punches and paper clay frame (handmade). I went through a phase when I bought some moulds and made some frames. I haven't used any yet but I used one (yeah) on my card. I fussy cut an image from one of the cut and create papers from the collection and adhered it to the back of the frame. To age the frame, I dabbed my finger into some Prima white gold metallique wax and rubbed it over the edges of the frame.

 Lastly, I added lots of flowers and foliage to complete my card. I also added some drops of Nuvo crystal glaze on some of the petals of the flowers and in some random spots of the card to add some interest.

Loving the French Roses collection

Hello everyone,

I have created two pretty feminine cards to share with you today.
These stunning papers are from the French Roses collection which are now available from Meg's Garden online store.

For my first card I chose this background paper with its soft pastel tones of pinks & mauve. I then added a romantic image from a cut & create sheet. Keeping with soft pinks and a touch of cream I embellished my card with lace, ribbon and a pink flower.

Simple layering, some distressing & inking, embellishments and my card was created.

For my second card I have matted this lovely image onto layers of coloured card stock. These colours complement this image making it stand out. I then adhered this to the background paper. I distressed and inked all papers using Tea Dye distress ink giving that vintage look to my card creations.

Embellishments of lace, ribbon, a pink paper rose, a leaf, rhinestones and glitter glue were added to finish this card.
Two simple elegant cards that I know your family & friends would love to receive.

Until next time.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Have a wonderful day & happy creating.
