Sympathy Card - Butterflies

I made this card for a family who lost their father and granddad to COVID19.  Very sad!

I started with a dark blue green card base.

I added a layer of warm toned designer paper - K&Company - Addison Swirl Collage which was adhered to the card front.

I added a piece of vellum on the left hand side, folded over on the top and bottom and adhered to the inside of the card with tape.

I cut butterflies with the Sizzix Winged Beauties thinlit set.  Large and medium are layered onto each other and adhered to the vellum.

I punched a Scallop Circle from the green card stock, a 1 3/8 inch circle from pink and an ivory 1 1/2 inch circle greeting in ivory.  These were layered then adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape.

Christmas Card Challenge - February - Red / Hearts

The theme for my blog Christmas Card Challenge for February is Red and Hearts.

I chose an Always Artichoke card base which has some texture.  The glitter designer paper is from Sweet Dreams Holiday Avenue by My Mind`s Eye.  It was trimmed to leave a small border.  I cut a length of blue seam binding and placed it just left of center and taped the ends to the back of the designer paper.

I cut a large heart from red velvet paper with the Sizzix Hearts#2 thin lits. I cut some warm white card stock with the next size down.  I cut one from the smallest size, placed onto the white one and used a push pin to create a pierced heart shape.

I used a red crystal brad to hold the heart element onto the card front.

I designed the greeting and color printed it onto warm white card stock.   I fussy cut the greeting banner and adhered it to the card front with 3D foam tape. 

Card - Color Challenge - Blue, Green, Purple

I started with a Stampin Up Always Artichoke card.  I color printed the Joy greeting with a digi from the Eventful Year stamp set in Marina Mist.  I then stamped the Evergreen from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set in AA. I adhered this layer to the card front.  I added small ribbon flags in the upper left hand corner in MM, AA and Elegant Eggplant.  These are held in place with tiny white brads.

Card - Christmas for Girls

This is the same Basic Grey paper from the previous posting.  I smudged the edges with Always Artichoke ink pad.  I placed it onto a AA card.  I placed a large red silk poinsettia, then a medium silver poinsettia then a smaller white silk flower.  These are all held in place with a flower pewter brad. I punched a Stampin Up! Modern Label punch in silver and then a color printed greeting with the SU word window punch.  The greeting is raised with 3D foam tape.

World Card Making Day!

I hope you make and give a card today!  It's a good day to start Christmas cards.  Check out my Christmas card blog challenge here.  I'm at 97 cards and I need 130.  On target with a couple of Christmas Card classes yet to be held.
I made this card for a friend who gave me card making supplies last week.
Started with a kraft card.  Cut a square about 4" which I stamped with Stampendous marbling stamp in a couple of green inks.  I mounted Stampin Up Apothecary framelit die cuts from designer paper. I placed them in a square and glued them down.  I stamped a greeting in Always Artichoke with a small clear stamp and punched it with the Modern Label punch.  I punched another in same colored card stock and cut it in half cross wise and offset those pieces behind the ivory one.  This greeting was mounted with 3D foam tape.
