Card - Birthday Wishes

I started with a purple card which I spattered with Iridescent Radiant Rain.  I die cut a large label in navy with the SU! one of the Apothecary Framelits.  The Cherry Blossom flower was cut with the Cricut.  See the original post here. It was adhered to the top half of the navy label. I color printed the greeting and then flagged the right hand end and tucked the left hand end right next to the card edge. Glued it down. 

Challenge - Eyelets

I got up this morning and decided this card needed a bit more. Does that happen to you?  It needed something to unify the elements so I added some Radiant Rain Egyptian Gold mist to it. I covered the greeting so it would stay bright and clean. I'm happier with the card!

I made this card for an on-line challenge which was using eyelets on the card.
I cut the trees with the SU Stocking Accents die.  I selected the tree and cut it in gold, silver, and copper. I mounted them onto crescent black card stock tags cut with a Sizzix tag die. I added eyelets to each in corresponding colors.  I added cording ties that coordinate with the color of the trees.  I mounted to the card with 3D foam tape.  I added a greeting made with SU Modern Label punchie with Merry Christmas punched out with the SU Word Window.

Christmas Card Stack - Snowman

 I had another great class today!  I started with the snowman image which included non traditional colors.  On the left, I chose an olive card which I found in the band of his hat.  I spattered it with Radiant Rain in Green Pearl.  I cut a brown snowbank with my CM wavy cutter. The star was cut with a Sizzix die and I printed greeting in brown which was punched with the SU Word Window punch. The star has been adhered with 3D foam tape.

On the right I chose a brown card which matched the hat. I spattered the card stock with Pure Gold acrylic paint.  I cut the snowbank from gold metallic card stock.  The star has been cut from the same card stock and mounted with 3D foam tape.  I printed the greeting in dark brown onto the same paper as the card and punched it with the SU Word Window.

Christmas Card Stack - Stars

I added variety to this design by using burgundy and eggplant card stock with matching Designer Paper with diamond pattern which was spattered with the Radiant Rain gold.  I cut the 3 stars with a Sizzix die.  I cut 2 large stars one in gold paper and the second one in card stock dry brushed with Radiant Rain Gold.  A smaller in the plain card color.  I gold embossed the greeting then punched it with the Stampin Up! Decorative Label punch. The decorative paper was glued to the card front. I then placed a length of gold organza ribbon on the bottom of the card pulling it through a slot in the fold and taped the ends to the inside of the card.  The greeting was mounted with 3D foam tape over the ribbon.  The stars were layered one on top of the other and placed on the card front.  I created a hole in centre with a push pin through the card front.  The small star brad was placed through the hole and the prongs were spread on the inside of the card.

GG - Polar Bear

This card only had slight changes from the Greetings Galore class in November 2010. 
I used some textured Royal Blue card stock instead of Bashful Blue.  I splattered the card stock with Radiant Rain - Pearl Green in the same technique as in the earlier card in this set.  The Polar Bear was cut with  my Cricut - Joy of the Season cartridge.  The star is a small punch.  The snowbank was cut with my Creative Memories wavy cutter.  Very classic card and popular.  I had several orders for some of these card kits.

GG - Gold Joy

I updated these cards from my Greetings Galore (GG) Nov 2010 class since a few ladies requested kits. 
I created some decorative paper using card stock and Radiant Rain - Egyptian Gold.  I used purple, navy and black card stock. I found the spray bottle clogged a lot so I just poured some liquid from the bottle onto a plate, dipped a toothbrush and ran it across a butter knife to splatter my card stock.  Once dry, I cut my card stock piece down to 2"x5.25" and glued it to the left hand side of my card. I cut my letters from gold embossed paper with my Sizzix Shadow Box Alphabet and glued those over the decorative paper.  I then embossed the right hand side of the card with the Sizzix Stars & Swirls folder.

Card - Challenge #22 - Monochromatic

I made this card for CST weekly challenge which theme was  monochromatic.  I started with a Kiwi Kiss card.  I added some designer paper that I ripped and placed on the top and bottom of the card leaving space in between them.  I diecut snowflakes with Sizzix sizzlet dies in white cardstock.  I held those in place with tiny white brads.  I added a Stampin Up! word window punched greeting that was color printed.  I then spritzed the whole card with Radiant Rain in Pearl Green.
