Ribbon-Threaded Slimline Card

Ribbon-Threaded Slimline Card

Hi all!

This is a surprise, isn't it?  The regular Sunday post will still happen. Sometimes I make a card that I really want to share so I may post something during the week.

I've had these Crafters Companion dies for 2 years! I decided to pull them out and create something.

The base card (slimline) is white card measuring 3.5 inches by 8.5 inches. It is matted with cardstock from Craft Consortium in Ink Drops Vivid. 

I used a ribbon threading die from Crafters Companion to cut my design in pink pearl card (measures 1.25 inches by 7,75 inches) 

This was matted onto some dark purple card stock and having a 1/8-inch border. I added some dark purple ribbon (Spellbinders) and attached a bow. I finished off with Tonic Studios Crystal Drops in Sweet Lilac.

For the inside of my card, I used some more of the ribbon to create a couple banners. I used the waste from the pink pearl card to decorate the inside. Paper used for the inside is Belle Countryside from Crafters Companion.

Thanks for stopping by,

Dandy Lion, a Slimline Card

 Dandy Lion, a Slimline Card

Hi and Welcome to my blog!

I've been making up quite a few cards this month.  I wanted to share one with you.

I got this dandelion die from The Scrapman. you can see his stuff online and also online at Frantic Stamper.com.
I love his dies as many are steampunk in origin and all are unique (I think he comes from Russia maybe?)

This is a standard slimline card made with white cardstock and layered with silver cardstock (has a linen texture) and a blue cardstock and then with patterned paper (CC). The center strip is from Craft Consortium.

I made both tags in blue and matted them onto the same silver card I used on the card base. I die cut the letters from the silver also and mounted them onto the tags.
I die cut the dandelion from the same silver linen card and added to my card with some foam squares - but glued the base directly to the card.
I added some hearts and yellow pearls to finish. (I got the hearts and the little circle sentiments from 49 and Market - their Vintage Artistry line. (The ones I have are about 1 1/2 years old. I do see the Vintage Artistry Line with new additions.)

Thanks for stopping by,
