Prima Flowers - Thanks

I started with a teal card like the previous card as well as the other side of the designer paper.

I placed the Stampin Up Little Letters thinlits to spell Thanks onto my magnetic plate.  I ran it through the Big Kick and cut the word into the chevron card stock. 
I added some ivory grosgrain ribbon topped with a piece of teal organza which were taped to the back of the layer. 
I used a push pin to create the hole for the tiny white brad holding a large warm pink, medium turquoise Prima flowers, a small off white silk flower and a small flower sequin.

Decorative Paper - Card Set 3

This bright bold paper was done with alcohol ink on an acrylic plate and picked it up with 4x6 photo paper.  I printed the large greeting on white then I cut the FRIEND word from it with the Stampin Up Little Letters Thinlits.  I adhered the alcohol background paper to a black card.  I added some black washi tape to the centre of the white.  I then added 3 sets silk flowers onto it held in place with tiny brads. I adhered the white greeting layer with 3D foam tape.

The decorative paper on this card was done with masking areas on white heavy bond paper with every day items.  The diamond shapes were done with a net material.  Other areas were spritzed with colored ink a bottle.  I placed a piece of aqua chevron washi tape on the left. I adhered it to a yellow card.  I placed a teal teapot cut with the Cricut and the Folk Art Festival cartridge.  I added a greeting punched with the Stampin Up Decorative Label punch.  I then placed an green one cut in half and offset on the back.








This card would be nice for a guy.  I used a piece of white heavy bond paper and sponged on acrylic paint in a variety of colors such as green, brown, tan and yellow.  I trimmed the paper to leave a small border on the black card.  I applied several lengths of black and white chevron washi tape in several directions.  I added a Tim Holtz Old Jalopy die cut in black. It is raised with 3D foam tape.

Card Club - March - Tartan Ribbon

I started with this really nice ribbon.  I wanted to put it through a punched border and I just got my Chevron punch from Stampin Up.  I chose a navy card and cut a red layer at 3.75X5 inches.  I punched chevrons on the left hand side and the top.  I pulled the ribbon through and taped the ends to the back.  I put gold paper behind the the lower ones.  I glued this layer to the card front.  I then attached the color printed sentiment on vellum held in place with a gold glitter star brad.

I made some green kits as well.  I will post a sample later where I added an extra hole at the top for more to string through.

This card I added another chevron to allow a better look to the ribbon.  I swapped the orientation as well on this green card.

Card Club - Jan - Top Note HB

Here's a great card for a guy having a birthday!  I started with a black card.  I cut a Stampin Up! Top Note from designer paper.  I cut the larger oval from a red card stock with Spellbinder Nestabilities. Then a smaller oval in a ivory color.  The greeting was cut with Dee's Distinctively HB thin die from the card stock as the card.  I offset Happy to leave room for the ribbon.  I cut a length of grosgrain ribbon in black and placed on the top left hand corner and held it in place with an ivory brad.  This element was then added to the card front with 3D foam tape.

In all the kits the large oval provides a pop of color and the ribbon and brads coordinate.

Christmas Stack Class - Country Christmas

I started with a piece of double sided decorative paper with red &  white chevron with a tomato red on the back.  It was cut it at 5.25 x 4.00 inches then cut at 4" then then small piece is turned over and the pieces are taped together on the back.  This layer is glued to the white card. The greeting is printed in the color which coordinates with the accent. The accent of ornament or tree is added to the front and then the greeting is glued over the split, then it is trimmed to the card edge.  The button is adhered to the greeting with a Zot.
The accents of the ornament (navy) and tree (green) were created with white acrylic paint, card stock and a splatter tool. The navy ornament is cut with the Stampin Up! ornament punch.  I wrapped a piece of white string around the hanger and knotted it to the front. I taped a piece of string at the split to behind the ornament, then glued the ornament to the card front.

The tree is cut with the Sizzix yellow tree die.  The tree is adhered to the card front positioned toward to bottom of the card.  Rip the snowbank from the piece of white card stock.  Glue the snowbank over the tree trunk and trim to the card edges.

Challenge - Card - Christmas Tree

I'm submitting this card to the current challenge at 52 Christmas Card Thrown Down which has a theme of Christmas Trees.

I started with a white card.  I cut a piece of decorative paper with is double sided - white and red chevron and solid red on the other.  I cut it into a 1/3 to 2/3 split and taped the pieces back together.  I was going for a country feel so I added the greeting in a cross stitch font color printed on white.  I added a button on the left with a glue dot.  I added a die cut Christmas tree (Sizzix yellow die) in dark green on the right hand side.  I added a ripped snowbank on top of the tree trunk and trimmed to the card edges.

Card - Challenge - Chevron

I made this card for the card challenge at Daring Cardmakers - Chevron.

I printed the SU! Designer Paper from the Eventful Digital CD.  Old Olive with Marina Mist dots. I mounted the panel of DP to the card.  I cut a piece of blue card stock was glued to the card front.  I color printed the greeting then punched it out with the Decorative Label.  I then punched one from the same blue card stock.  I split it in half and mounted each half behind the greeting.  The greeting was mounted over the blue strip with 3D foam tape.
