Scribble Roses thank you cards

Good Morning all and welcome to a new week, don't they fly by. 

So today im sharing a set of thank you cards made using those scribble roses again.

First die cut 2 rectangles using spellbinders die, score a line on the back panel and glue together to make a stand up card.  From the front panel die cut the large rose negative, use dotty paper as the insert which then shows through the apperture.  Then die cut the rest of the rose layers and layer up, die cut leaves and butterflies and stamped greeting to finish.  Touches of glitter glue.

Showing it stood up with the light shining through the rose aperture. 

Same design just opposite colours, orange and teal. 

close up again showing the aperture better.

and below another set of 4 i made 

First die cut the Stitched label and layered onto dotty red card and white card blank.  Die cut the pierced topper from white and stamp the sentiment.  I then die cut the topper again in matching colour card and off set to help it stand out.  Die cut the roses and leaves from red and lilac dotty cardstock.  Pearls to finish.  

Same just opposite colours 

Just showing that they stand up easily. 

and 2 more in different colour combo, again the orange and teal.

Make My Monday # 50

Good Morning to you all, i hope you all had a good weekend.

So its time for the next challenge at Make My Monday

The theme this fortnight is

Vacations & Travel  (or Holidays to you & I)

After 2 weeks without crafting it felt good to find my mojo and be home long enough to create this card.  I don't have much in my stash aimed at holidays and travelling but found this lovely elephant in my Indian dreams digi kit, so for my holiday we have hopped over to beautiful India. 

I have actually ridden an elephant, many many years ago here in Cornwall, its an exciting way to ride from a to b, a bit slower than horse😄 

A5 white linen cardblank.  I printed off the elephant 4 times and cut it out and decoupaged.  Printed off a matching backing paper and matted onto turquoise card to pick up the blue in the elephant.  Turquoise dotty ribbon, double bow, elephant charm and sentiment to finish.  

Close up, i also added glitter glue and glossy accents to highlight the beautiful elephant. 

Items used:

Daisytrail 'Indian Dreams' digi kit

Double stitched rectangles

LOTV sentiment stamp

A Cluster of Diamonds

Good Morning all

Today i am showing a batch of Diamond fold cards, these kept me quiet for a long while!  All using the Tattered Lace Diamond Fold die set.  Very photo heavy so you might like to sit down with a nice cuppa and your fav biscuit😊😊

I used the die to cut twice into the card, like i did for my dad card, this works quite well.  Then folded and scored it all into shape, a bit fiddly but it doesn't eventually come together. I rounded the corners on this one.  Spellbinders butterflies and gems to finish.  One sheet of 6x6 paper is the ideal size for these cards.  

Papers are MME 'Miss Caroline - Dilly Dally'

and showing the back and where i put the sentiment using matching papers. 

No2  Spellbinders butterflies cut in co-ordinating papers, pearls and glitter glue to finish

Papers are - Teresa Collins 'fabrications'

Splat people! Children's birthday card

Good Morning All and welcome to a new week, i hope you enjoyed some sunshine at the weekend.  

Today i am sharing a fun children's card i made.

5x7" black card base.  I cut lots of splats out of brusho coloured card, ideal for those left over bits!  I then layered several onto the background.  For the topper, I matted a white rectangle onto black card and stuck to the card for foam pads.  I used 3 different splats, added googly eyes, black pen legs and doodled on a mouth and eyebrows.  Black die cut sentiment to finish. 

A close up of my little splatpeople

and below a little A6 card using the left over splats. 

My 5yr old niece asked me to be her penpal, their teacher is trying to get them all to have a penpal to practice their reading and writing, a great idea i think, as Sophie also loves crafting i thought i would send a little card with my letter for her.  I will have to make sure my scrawl is neat and tidy for her😊
