Celebration Patchwork

Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by. Today I am sharing a slightly shabby (but not too shabby wink:wink!) card with a patchwork background, created using leftovers from some kits I am putting together for an up coming Workshop - they were just too pretty to go into the bin - and of course they are Graphic 45 - what is not to love?!

I have created the patchwork background using leftover pieces of patterned paper - you know those ones that you don't want to part with - I have so many of them...the patterned paper has been cut into squares and layered onto recycled cardboard using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L Adhesive Sheets 4"x 6", next it has been cut/embossed using the largest two dies from Spellbinders Nestabilities Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies Venise Lace by Becca Feeken and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine.  Next it has been adhered to a slightly larger pre-cut white card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.  

A row of scalloped lace has been glued to the lower portion of the card front.  Embellishments from Graphic 45 have been adhered to the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra, along with the banner at the top of the card front.

A double seam binding bow has been glued to the left of the sentiment tag and a Little Birdie Crafts Beaded Bloom glued to the knot of the bow.  Want2Scrap Baby Bling - Turquoise Rhinestones have been added along the banner, and 250 White Pearls have been added along the lower edge of the card front.

Lots of Rosy Love

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by!  Today I am sharing a card using two Dies from the Spellbinders Good Vibes Only Collection by Stephanie Low.  They are such pretty and versatile dies - you can see a tutorial on how I created a very similar one HERE

Cut/Emboss one Rosy Summer Flowers  Etched Die using white card stock along with one Lovely Lilac Etched Die using white card stock.  Sponge both flowers using Rose Bud and Bamboo Leaves Inks, leaving some areas white.

Cut/emboss patterned paper from the Kaisercraft Sunny Fields Collection using the largest Nestabilities Hemstitch Ovals Etched Dies Chantilly Paper Lace Collection by Becca Feeken - both the cutting edge and the inside pattern.  Glue the flowers to the patterned paper.

Emboss white card stock using the Flourish Stitch Em-bossing Fold'ers Quilt It by Lene Lok, lightly sponge using Imagine Memento Luxe Ink in Rose Bud and a sponge dauber.  Trim to size.  Adhere to a slightly larger dark blue card using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Permanent.   Pop up the layered card front onto the card base using  3D Foam Squares.

Emboss the sentiment onto black card stock using Imagine VersaMark powder and White Embossing Powder, using a heat tool.  Trim and pop up onto the centre right of the card front.  Adhere a double Seam Binding Bow, glue a material rose to the knot of the bow.
