Hi!

 Hi! A Greeting Card

Hello Dear Friends,

I got the design for this greeting card from a Scrapbook.com card challenge. The design was the challenge. 

(This card was not submitted for the challenge.)

This is a standard A2 size card made with white cardstock and matted with black cardstock.
I got the papers in a kit from Create and Craft (now HobbyCraft) a long time ago. I love the colors. It comes with pop out pieces too (I used two of them here).

I used gold Thin Line Dazzles (Paper Wishes) strips to outline the card front and the two pieces.

I glued on a key over the keyhole image. The glue I like to use is from Tonic Studios. It is Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.
I added some pink rhinestones, and the sentiment (also Paper Wishes).

Thanks for stopping by,

Lis

Hello Card with Silver Accents

 

Hello Card with Silver Accents

Hi dear friends!

Did you have a good July 4th holiday?  Have a barbeque?  Hope you had fun!

Today's card includes one of my favorite things to accent cards - Dazzles by Paper Wishes.  Theses stickers come in all shapes and colors. I like the thin line dazzles best because I can use them as an accent like below, edge a card and so on. (Disclaimer: I have not been given any "free" product. I just like using them and have for years and years.) 

This is a standard A2 size card made with a deep blue cardstock, then layered with patterned paper (AG).
I made some 1/4 inch and 1/8-inch strips of the blue card and the other strip come from one of AG's border strips (I cut it up.). I glued the strips to the patterned paper starting diagonally. I alternated between the blue card and the patterned strips. I trimmed the overhang. I added some silver Thin Line Dazzles, one on either side of the set of strips. I trimmed this also.
I adhered the piece to my card base.
I chose some other silver Thin Line Dazzles and added them top and bottom of my card, trimming as I went.
I created a silver mirror card square for my sentiment. I used a corner rounder to round the corners on my silver square. I added the HELLO which was cut from some blue mirror card I had. The sentiment was adhered to the silver backing and then this piece was added to my card with foam squares.

You can see me holding my phone to take a picture of my card in the reflection of the silver. The reason I am holding the card is, so my pajamas don't get reflected too. Yikes!

Thanks for stopping by,

A Happy Hello

 A Happy Hello Card

Good Morning Friends!  How are you?  I'm doing well. The summer is starting (which I love) but I'm not a fan of temperatures over 85F. Yikes!

This card turned out so pretty.  I used the Hummingbird Paper Collection from Crafters Companion and some torn edges to create my card. The colors are so pretty.  I am still in a pink phase so these colors really appealed to me. I wonder if I should have torn the patterned paper also. What do you think?

This is a standard size A2 card made with dark pink cardstock (5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches)

I tore the edges of a light pink cardstock and layered it onto my card.  I added some patterned paper on top.  I cut the sentiment from dark purple pearlescent card (Crafters Companion Masquerade).  I cut some wildflowers from gold mirror card (I got these dies from Amazon.). I added them to the left on my card.

A simple card to make and send.

Wishing you all a peaceful and fun Sunday.
