Wonderful, a card

Hi everyone,  today's card is a collage card but with a geometric design to it.

Items used:

• jewel brads
• paper leaves (Petaloo)
• Green 1mm burlap/jute ribbon (see Really Reasonable Ribbon.com)
• Patterned paper and glitter paper - DCWV Coral Collection
• Stickers are Dazzles from Hot Off the Press
• Word Stickers -Studio 420?
• Gold Paint Pen
• Martha Stewart Border Punch

I really like how this card turned out. I wanted to use some of my stash - coral - not a color that's easy to match or use.  I pulled together some stuff and decided to mat everything.  I'm not sure that I should have used the jute.  I should have probably used a thin ribbon. Oh well...LOL.

Star Light Star Bright...

Today's card is a favorite of mine.  I love the fanciful children's rhyme and the blue glitter on this card.

Items used:

• white card stock for card base
• blue glitter tape
• gold ripple holographic card from Hot off the Press
• Star die & Rectangle Die from Frantic Stamper
• Flourish Dies from Couture Creations (Frantic Stamper has these on sale!)
• Message - computer journaled
• Silver Vellum

You can get a better look at the silver vellum I used to back the cut out stars on the front of my card.

I used mounting tape (doubled) to attach the sentiment to the front of my card but only at the parts that actually touched. 

 

I used a few rhinestones to decorate the inside.

Paris Postcard

Hi everyone!

Today's card has a couple of interesting things on it. 

Items used:

• Paris Postcard replica
• Photo from Idea Ology Photo booth set
• Blue sparkly ribbon
• clear micro beads (for stamp)
• double stick paper and clear glitter (Ranger) - see bottom of card
• Other image cut from scrapbook papers
• light blue vellum for mat

For the stamp:
I took some double stick tape and covered the stamp which was part of the postcard.  I covered the tape with clear micro beads.

For the bottom of the card:
I used some paper size double stick (paper) and cut it out and placed it on my card.  I sprinkled the clear glitter on it.  It looks really pretty and you can see the picture behind it.  This glitter gives a nice sparkle without being too opaque or overwhelming.  For those of you who grew up in snow like I did, it looks like sparkly snow in the moonlight.

Be Fearlessly Authentic

Hi all!

 

Another collage card for you! 

 



Items used:

• Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
• Background paper (right) Anna Griffin
• Background vellum left - www.paperandmore.com (this is a coated vellum on one side with a purple blue sheen)
• Picture - Idea Ology
• Jewel Brads (my stash - they are old)
• frame that the picture sits on (Graphic 45 Journal Notes)
• Ribbon comes from Really Reasonable Ribbon - This online site has many colors of the diamond design ribbon above. Its lovely to work with!
• Distress Stain in Tarnished Brass

When I look at the old fashioned pictures that are so popular nowadays to use in crafts, I wonder who they were and what they were thinking the day they got their picture taken.  This woman is so beautiful and reminds me of my older sister.  The picture makes a great addition to a card.

You can get a better look at the purple vellum I used below.

Birdie

 

Hi everyone!   I hope that you are cooler than I am here in California.  We've been having 100 + degree heat.  Of course we are a desert and this makes it rough sometimes, especially since we are in a drought. 

 

 

Today's card is a collage card of sorts.  This is a bit plainer than I usually make my collage cards, but sometimes simpler is better.

 

 

Items used:

• Bird charm from Idea Ology
• Roses from Prima
• Purple 1mm burlap/jute ribbon from May Arts (you can get some at Really Reasonable Ribbon)
• Other papers from Hobby Lobby
• Dark Pink colored Vellum for mat (www.paperandmore.com - they have in smaller quantities and MANY colors)

I had a paper with pictures on it so cut one out and tore the edges, added Distress inks in Tea Dye and Picked Raspberry. I curled the corners. The paper was double sided with a dark brown which worked out perfectly.

Take care, Lis

• Idea Ology (rub ons, brads, "wicked")
• Authentique Halloween papers
• Spiderweb embossing folder (Tim Holtz/Sizzix)
• Purple Stardream shimmer card
