Butterflies and Roses

Hello friends, welcome and thanks for stopping by!  Once again I have been having fun in The Studio with Kaisercraft Collectibles.  They are a 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 and the  Platinum Die Cutting Machine .  The card front has been popped up onto a slightly larger pre-cut Kraft card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.

The stripes got me started, especially when it means I can use the front of 6"x6" Pads - they are perfect for this - this 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.  A strip of Washi Tape has been adhered below the striped panel.

A butterfly from Penny Black Inc has been stamped using Imagine Versafine Ink in Vintage Sepia, then coloured using sponged daubers; this has been glued to the left of the striped panel. The Kaisercraft sentiment has been popped up below the butterfly.  A row of braid has been added above the sentiment and been glued across the striped panels and a row of fabric flowers added below.

Orange Rhinestones from Want2Scrap have been adhered to each corner.  It is very easy to create a card in this style - so eclectic - I love that!

Graphic 45 - Love

Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by.  It seems I am on a run of shabby cards at the moment - (but not too shabby wink:wink!) using leftovers from some kits I put together for a Workshop - they were just too pretty to go into the bin - and of course they are Graphic 45 - what is not to love?!

For the card front I have used pretty patterned paper that I have had since I started creating -shocking I know, but I have decided I am using up the older papers before opening new - well that is my aim anyway! LOL!  The card front has been has been adhered to a slightly larger pre-cut white card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra. 

A narrow strip of contrasting patterned paper 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 Little Birdie Crafts flowers that are popping out from the top of the mini envelope.

A double seam binding bow has been glued to the below the mini envelope and a Little Birdie Crafts flower glued to the knot of the bow.  Want2Scrap 250 Count - Turquoise Rhinestones have been added to each corner.

Be-YOU-iful

Hello friends, welcome and thank you for stopping by.  Today I have a feminine card to share with you, a little on the 'shabby' side and in one of my favourite palettes.

I am using one of my own patterned papers using leftover prices of papers - you know those ones that you don't want to part with - I have so many of them...it has been embossed using a Spellbinders Embossing Folder and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine.

The card front has been adhered onto a slightly larger pre-cut white card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra. The small frame from the Spellbinders Nestabilities Romantic Rose Etched Dies has been cut using white card stock and popped up onto the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.

The wooden sentiment is also from Kaisercraft and has been glued to a small die from the Spellbinders Fairmont Labels Etched Dies and then popped up using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares, onto the Romantic Rose Etched Dies   A small die from the Spellbinders Silhouette Etched Dies has been also added to the right side of the Fairmont Label.  Flowers from Little Birdie Crafts have been added to the top left corner of the layered dies.  The beautiful bling is from Want2Scrap.
