Split Easel Card

Happy Friday, not long until the weekend!! Today I'm showing you a card that I call a split easel. It fits in a 7x5 envelope, but you can play around and make them different sizes. I used some patterned papers and I picked out some colours from the paper in matching cardstock, thought it would make a change from White. The second photo shows the glittered sentiment in more detail. Its an old technique using double sided adhesive paper that you stick on top of the sentiment you have stamped. Peel off the sticky and sprinkle with glitter. In this case I did stick the frame to the sentiment after I had peeled backing off sticky sheet and then applied glitter. Getting anything to stick down onto glittered areas can be a problem.

Christmas Wreath

Hi there, I have another Christmas card to share today using some Stampin'Up products. I used the leaves die in the Frosted Frame die set and cut them six times. There is a small and larger leaf so you can cut both at once. The Silver paper is one of the reverse patterns on the Feels Like Frost papers. Finished off with a sentiment from the Itty Bitty stamps and I finished with some twine and Red gems. I did add some Wink of Stella glitter pen to leaves, but its hard to photograph.

Sip Sip

Today's card uses a stamp set from Stampin'Up called Sip Sip. It comes with different glasses and I used the Martini style one to make it look like a Mint Martini cocktail. I don't drink but I used google to help me lol. The rim has been sprinkled with glitter, which doesn't show very well in picture. Great set to use for any celebration and coordinating dies are available.

With the weather turning autumnal today this card seemed appropriate. It uses the Beauty and Joy stamp set from Stampin'Up. I created a frame using the Stitched Rectangle dies and stamped it with the leaf stamp and Versamark ink. I applied several colour inks on the leaf stamp with a dauber. Its finished off with a twine bow. Great card for a man or gardener.

Heart Cut File

I recently treated myself to a Cricut Air 2 and I had downloaded this cut file from the Silhouette store to use on a scrapbook page. I decided it would also make a great Anniversary card, so I just downsized to fit on my card blank. I cut the hearts in different papers and on some white card and attached together, just to support the foam pads more.  I did some stamping on the border down the left hand side. Finished off with some ribbon and a bow.

Magnolia Frame Card

Happy Sunday, I hope you are having a lovely day. Today's card was made using the large Magnolia flower stamp and die. In the stamp set you get this border stamp, which is made to go with the border die. I suddenly thought this week , it would also work for a frame. I used the Stamparatus, so all I had to do was rotate this cardstock, once I had positioned my stamp where I wanted it.

Pressed Petals Specialty Washi tape

Hi there, my card today uses the Washi tape from the Pressed Petal range. This Washi tape comes in a set of two. One is a thin text tape and the other individual petals. When arranged in a circle they make a flower. I finished off with one of the flower centres , these can even be coloured to suit your card. The sentiment is on one of the Stitched Nested Label dies and I created the background using the new Birchwood stamp. To help arrange the flowers, I punched a tiny circle from scrap card and dabbed talc on back of Washi petals to remove sticky. Then it was just a case of adding a tiny dab of glue at base and arranging petals. I added some leaves from a punch to finish. Your get 100 petals on the roll, I chose to have seven petals but you could get away with five.

The flowers have been inked with Daffodil Delight and I added some foliage die cuts in Garden Green and Highland Heather. Sentiment is from my stash.

Happy Easter

I hope you are all having a wonderful day and eating lots of chocolate. Although maybe not if you are sunning yourselves outside in gorgeous weather. Today I have a little chocolate box I made to hold some little eggs as a gift for a friend. I have made this style before (think it was Christmas) but saw an adapted version on Pinterest with a top opening. The gingham cardstock is from Stampin Up and the colour is Balmy Blue.  I added some Butterflies from some of the DSP papers that were in the SAB promotion.
