Card Club - November - Snowflake Joy

I started with a navy card.  I cut the navy snowflakes from navy flocked ribbon with Marianne Designs thin die.  It's best to cut from the back side and fortunately with the snowflake it makes no difference in the result. I cut the red scallop borders with a Die-amics die.  I punched holes in the scallops with my 1/8" punch.  I glued the borders down first having measured the distance apart with the white layer.  Then I glued the white layer over the borders.  I then placed the navy flocked snowflake in the centre of the white and used a push pin to create the hole for the snowflake brad.  The J and Y were cut with the Stampin Up! Typeset Alphabet Bigz dies from the same card stock as the borders.  They were glued to the white layer evenly on each side of the snowflake "O".    The girls really liked the turquoise one.

Card - Felt Flowers

I made a couple of these for my card exchange group.  I started with the flower and searched to find matching cardstock.  I finally found Brilliant Blue worked well.  I cut a piece of white to card front size then put it in my Creative Memories wavy cutter.  It was then embossed with the Sizzix Diamonds folder.  I cut a leaf with a Sizzix die from green flocked ribbon. I held the flower in place with a tiny white brad. I added a small stamped circle greeting on the bottom right hand corner stamped in the same Brilliant Blue punched with the .75 inch.

Cmas Card Challenge - February - Textiles

This is my card for February's Christmas Card Challenge.  The challenge is Accents - Textiles so I selected flocked ribbon and felt to use in my card design.
I selected a green card and added a rich red diamond patterned paper for the background.  I cut 2 scalloped borders with a (Die-namics die) thin die from gold textured paper which I placed straight sides together and glued about 2/3 down from the top.  I cut a piece of white felt about 1/2" wide and glued that over the join of the gold pieces.  I recycled flocked ribbon (see below) left over from a Christmas Wreath project years ago.  I cut the poinsettia from this material with a small Marianne Design Creatables thin die.  I cut another from green card stock same as the card.  I selected a large gold sequin with a gold mini brad for the center.  This accent was attached to the card with the gold brad.
What textile will you select for your card? Here's a few ideas.  Textiles - Ribbon (silk, satin, gross grain, seam binding, organza), fabric, cording, felt, yarn, fiber, lace, silk flowers.

Card Club - Flocked border

I found this flocked border at a Dollar store.  I thought it was so gorgeous.  I created a greeting for this sketch and color printed them.  The greeting is trimmed close to the frame.  I coordinated one word in the greeting to the card color.  I used a couple of embossing folders (Cuttlebug Victorian and Stampin Up Finial Press) in the kits.  I cut the colored square with a Sizzix original die. The embossed layer was glued to the card front.  I discovered after I made my sample that the border was adhesive to the brads are purely decorative. This design is versatile to accommodate a variety of colors and occasions. I made up kits in several colors with several greetings (Thanks, sympathy, birthday).
