Happy Easter Card

Hi everyone!

Today's card is an Easter card!  Easter will be here early this year and I waned to get at least one holiday card out on time!

Items used:

• Creative Expressions - Sue Wilson Dies - Italian Collection
• Easter Word Die - Cheery Lynn Designs
• Pink Satin Foiled Card
• Turquoise card in dark and light shades
• Spectrum Noir Glitter pen in green
• Pink striped paper - Anna Griffin
• Plain pink card
• Tim Holtz Range Distress Glitter
• Paper Rose & white pearl head pins

To make my card, I die cut both blue pieces.  I die cut the inner circle again out of pink satin foil card.  I cut the roses from tat and glued them onto the blue circle panel.  I colored the leaves with Spectrum Noir green sparkle pen.  I mounted this piece onto the dark blue outer piece with foam tape.

I cut the inner most circle in pink satin foil card also and mounted it with foam tape but a double layer.  I did this so that I could push the two head pins into the foam tape.  (I used a wire cutter first to trim off the sharp ends.  These pins are fairy long so I cut them down by half.)  I added a paper rose using a pop dot to cover the wire stems of the head pins.

I cut the word Easter using pink card.  I covered the front with Tacky glue and dusted it with the glitter.  I mounted the word onto the pink circle using Tacky Glue also. Because I used a foiled card, when I die cut the circle, the embossing took as well.

Note: You can get all these dies in one place - Franticstamper.com

With Love, a Valentine's Card

Hi everyone!  Here I am with another card for you!  Can you tell that I'm still in my pink phase?  No to worry, we can always change the color of our cards, can't we!

 

Items used:

• Spellbinders ? ( I have a bad habit of taking my dies out of their packages and putting them in a storage container.  :=(
• Prima flowers
• Hot Pink Crinkle ribbon
• Pink satin foiled card
• Pink card
• White shimmer card
• Patterned card (brown with gold newsprint)-Kanban
• White pearls
• "Ooh La La" acetate - Jolee's
• Black "with Love" - Hot off the Press Tiny Word Dazzles in Black

The dies made this card fairly easy to do.  Each die cut piece was layered onto the one below with mounting tape.

Although the dies are intricate they are pretty large so it wasn't a problem die cutting the materials I'd chosen.

I love this little acetate sentiment.  I got them at Jo Anns.  They come in a pack (you get a lot!) and the theme is Paris and France (my favorite).

 

I decided to use the smallest die to add a sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed my card!  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Valentine's Day Card

Hi everyone!

Hope your weekend was great!  Today I have a Valentine's card that I made for you.

Items used:

• Diamond Design Pink ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.com
• Tim Holtz Glitter Dust, Mahogany Distressed Glitter glue
• Pink Doily - heart shaped
• Happy Valentine Dies
• Pink shimmer card with embossed dot
• Pink satin foil card embossed Rose pattern (Anna Griffin)
• Three Cherubs - Tim Holtz Seasonal Stickers
• Flowers - Anna Griffin
• White Pearls - Michaels

This card started where I work.  One of the supervisors there brought in these red and pink hert shaped doilies and we all took one to decorate and post on a board.  So, I made a card out of mine (yes, I took it home first!)

I really enjoyed using Tim Holtz new Distress Glitter.  It has a beautiful antique-y color and sparkles A LOT!  I cut out my words onto pink card.  Then I used a liquid glue on the front to attach the glitter.

I put some glitter on the loops of the paper flower collage.  I added some mahogany glitter glue - although I don't know why.  It looks pretty good.

You can get a good view of the satin foiled card and shimmer card I used to mat my card.  I love using foiled card because it picks up the embossing swell.

I hope that you enjoyed my Valentine card!  Thanks for stopping by!
