Keep Calm and Adjust Your Tiara -a Card

Today's card is a collage card.

 

Items used:

• Anna Griffin paper
• Martha Stewart Deep Edger Punch
• Journaling Card from Bo Bunny
• Little girl photo from Tim Holtz Found Relatives
• Silver shimmer ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon
• Paper Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
• White adhesive pearls

I started my card with the journaling card and built my card up from there. I'm still in a pink phase (good for me that the Pantone colors this year are pink and blue pastels -I think?).  I love the ribbon. 

I bought it on a whim and its turned out to be a keeper for me. It is silverfish white with the occasional sparkle in it.  It takes coloring well without giving up anything.

I puncher out two borders and placed them together to get the center band on my card. I layered the rest.  I didn't use any foam tape.

Take care ,

Love You Card with embossed satin card stock

Hi everyone,

I was going to use this card for Christmas but I never quite got to it.  So,  here it is for Valentine's Day in a non traditional green and gold.

 

Items used:

• Gold satin card stock
• Embossing folder- Anna Griffin
• Green Crinkle ribbon
• Kaiser Craft paper and tags
• green card for card base

The satin card really picks up the embossing.  The picture doesn't do it justice.  There are no cracks or tears either.  The color is a very pastel gold.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Coffee Card

Hi everone and Happy 2016!  I'm still trying to get used to the idea that 2015 is gone!  Boy it was a fast year for me!.  My 2016 goal is to try and live more in the moment.  Ive started meditating (just...only a day) so we'll see if it makes a difference.    I'll let you know.

Today's card is using the Heartfelt Creations Coffee Collection.

Items Used:

• Heartfelt Creations Coffee Talk Collection
• Sizzix Tim Holtz Mini Movers and Shapers Tea/Coffee Cup
• Hot Off the Press Circles and Scallops Die Set
• Gold Pearls
• Vellum (for the "steam")
• Swirly Stamp, sentiment stamp - don't remember the brand
• Satin Card Stock in blue and gold

I cut the coffee cup border longer than the card.  I attached each end to the card and then added a glue dot in the middle and attached the middle too. This gave my border a dimensional wave.

I attached my coffee cup with foam tape. I hadn cut the vellum to resemble steam and attached to the back side of the cup.  The cup is stamped on the front with Staz On in black.

The satin card stock:
My most recent find came through the Create and Craft TV (I watch it on my PC.)  I saw it advertised and decided to take a chance on it.  Its really beautiful.  It's like a foiled card stock but has a brushed satin finish. It's different than everything else.  It cuts well with thin dies and stamps well too (keep in mind that it is a slippery surface).  I really love the effect I get when I emboss with it.

Have a great day!
