HEY BLOGGIES,
Welcome back to my little part of the world. Today I have two cards for you. They are going to be part of a set of cards I am giving as a gift to a friend.
First up is the friend or generic type card:
Crumb cake and blue - I love that combination. I find it is my "go to" when I need a quick card and don't have time to mull over what colors I will use. I think this is fall flowers because the flower is made with the packing material they sometimes use in boxes I receive from UPS, etc. I HOARD this stuff from my boxes I receive and now I am finally trying to use it!!
Sponging the layers and a little bit of the flower adds dimension and more color. I used a retired corduroy button in the middle of my punched flower.
I created a fun element underneath the 1/8" taffeta ribbon - I used the scallop edge punch and punched it on both sides. It created a rick-rack effect and I am really liking it!!
This card is entered at:
MOJO MONDAY CHALLENGE 310
USE IT TUESDAY CHALLENGE
TRY IT ON TUESDAY - MAKE YOUR OWN FLOWERS
NEXT CARD BELOW IS ENTERED INTO:
CRAFT DASH 10 MINUTE CARD
SUO CHALLENGE - TECHNIQUE
PAPERCRAFT STAR
My NEXT card uses the same colors and similar design since they are part of a gift set. This card is a
thank you card and would be perfect for the new teacher. The technique I am focusing on is using punches and dies. I used 2 punches and a die.
I did a similar design with this card, but I put the flower at the bottom left, made it a bigger flower and put just a single punched scallop edge under the dsp.
This flower is cut from the same package stuffing but with a big shot die. It took me 9 minutes 27 seconds to make this card. I made it under 10 minutes!!
Here are the two cards together. I am making two more and then a fun package to gift them in for my friend. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Please stop back in again to see some more fun creations.
