Hello friends, welcome and thanks for stopping by! It is Friday evening and I have been inside avoiding the polar blast that is happening - thankfully for me it means Studio time with Kaisercraft Collectibles and other misc pieces gathering on my desk.. Once again I am inspired by Alicia McNamara's Boho set! This has definitely become my 'go to' layout for a card! It is another very quick and easy way to create a pretty card.
The card front has been cut/embossed using leftover pieces of patterned paper and one of my favourite dies - the Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Rectangles Etched Dies then embossed using Platinum Die Cutting Machine. The card front has been popped up onto a slightly larger pre-cut white card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.
You can see Alicia's cards and tutorial HERE - the stripes got me started, especially when it means I can use the front of 6"x6" Pads - they are perfect for this. The patterned strip is 9cm long and adhered to the centre of cards on the right-hand side. using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner.
Kaisercraft Collectibles have been layered to the left of the patterned strip and directly onto it. Want2Scrap Swirls Finesse in White have have been added either side of the flower and to the top corners of the card front. It is very easy to create a card in this style - thanks so much Alicia for the inspiration - again! xo
