Lots of triangles

Good Morning everyone, i hope you are enjoying the bank holiday if here in the UK.

Today is a couple of birthday cards, i made the background with lots of altenew triangle dies overlayed on one of my marbled backgrounds - looking back ive used the triangles alot with my marbled backgrounds - it makes a not perfect background look different - i still have several of my marbled backgrounds from when i had a day making them...see here . 

6x5.5 cardbase.  I first die cut alot of the overlay triangles from black card - ideal for all those little snippets left over - my little mini die cutter is perfect for a job like this as i can use it on a laptray in front of the tv.  I cut my background to size & I then got arranging my triangles.  I mounted the panel onto black and then the base card.  I die cut the birthday from the same marbled paper and layered onto black and white card.  I die cut a flower in pearl pink/purple picking up on the streak of pinky/purple in the marbling. Die cut foliage in white and a gem for the flower centre to finish. 

A close up showing my marbled background a bit better.

and version 2 was using white triangles & a vibrant blue background made using brushos & pixie powders.  Mounted onto gold glitter card and a orange flower - die cut from snippets of card coloured with pixie powders so it really shimmers in the light.  I love these leafy swirls from spellbinders - had them years but they are a nightmare to get out of the die even using both a tumble dryer sheet & waxed paper together so i rarely use them sadly.

Items Used:

Altenew Shattered Triangle die set

Birthday sentiment die

Spellbinders circle dies

Spellbinders romantic vines

Flower die

White & Black card

Gold glitter card - B&M

Triangle Trees

Hello everyone, thank you for stopping by once again.  

Now i normally don't even think about Christmas cards until August/September but when i was playing the other day with my triangle dies and my marbled papers i was laying out the triangles in various ways to see what i liked and one of them looked like a tree i thought, so made a couple up.I think come September i shall make a few more. 

5x7white cardbase.  I die cut a mixture of the small and large triangles from my marbled paper and the fancy top layer from white card and adhered together.  I cut a piece of white card smaller than the card front and dry embossed with a snowfall EF, i splashed on some of the same inks i used on the marbled paper.  I layered onto a piece of purple card and then the cardbase. 

On a piece of white card i die cut a curved border edge die and a stitched line die.  I stamped the sentiment using colbalt archival ink.  I then die cut a few stars from the little left over pieces of marbled paper. I added one of the larger stars on top of the tree.  A few touches of glitter glue to finish.

Teenage boy

Good Morning everyone, i hope you are enjoying the long weekend.

Today im sharing a card i made for a teenage boy, its following a sketch layout that a friend set that really got my brain cells going.  Ive used one of my marbled papers in blue and silver so Ive used Navy blue & Silver cardstock to go with it. 

6x6 Navy cardbase.  I first die cut the solid triangles from my marbled paper and the top fancy layer from silver mirror card and adhered together.  I cut a peice of white linen card smaller than my card base and lightly inked in blue thru a little dots stencil.  This stencil is so useful just to add a little interest but not too much.  I then arranged my triangles, overlapping them slightly. 

I die cut the MFT birthday sentiment die from white card, using my plain circle dies i cut a frame to fit it from navy card, cutting the middle out too.  I arranged it with one of the triangles in the middle, attaching over the top with glue gel.  I stamped to tiny sentiments onto white scraps and cut out, lightly inked with the little dots sentiment and attached in place with glue gel to finish. 

Just a close up

16th Birthday

Good Morning everyone.  I hope you had a good weekend and saw some sunshine.

Today im sharing a 16th birthday card i made for my god daughter, she isn't really girly girly so couldn't go with pink and flowers.  I decided to go with black and white and splash of rainbow colour. 

A5 cardbase.  I matted white linen and black card onto the base card.  I then coloured a piece of white card with oxide inks, starting red one side and going through to blue.  This is die cut into triangles, i die cut the top layer of the triangle set from black card and glued the 2 layers together. 

On a strip of white card I arranged the triangles. This panel i mounted onto black.  I stamped the sentiment circle onto white and die cut into a circular frame, i die cut a larger circle from black card.  

I first glued the black circle to the base card to the right side, i then added my triangle strip, i then added the white sentiment circle frame over the top with foam tape. So basically the triangle strip threads between to black circle and the sentiment circle - just for a bit of interest.   I computer printed the 16 today and die cut into a circle, mounted onto a black circle and then added to the middle of my sentiment circle. Glitter gems to finish.

A close up.

This second one just uses the opposite colour on the triangles,  so i die cut the top fancy layer from the inked card and glued onto black base triangles. 

Made the same as the first one, i just added party time to the middle circle.  

This 3rd one actually came about from the lefts overs from the above triangles, i was left with all these little pieces of coloured card so decided to cut some more in white and insert the coloured pieces giving a stained glass like effect. I quite liked this way and a good use of left over snippets!  A bit fiddly though. 

6x7 White linen basecard.  After making up my triangles i added them to a strip of black card which i attached to the cardfront.  I stamped the sentiment circle onto white card and die cut into a circle, matted onto a larger black circle and added to the card front.  I added another one of the triangle to the centre of my sentiment.  Glitter dots to finish. 

A close up.

SSS Clear circle sentiment stamps 'sss101512'

Triangles

Good Morning everyone.

So its once again time for a new challenge over at cardz4guyz

The theme for the next fortnight is:

TRIANGLES

Something a bit different. Luckily i had for my birthday this set of Altenew Shattered Triangle dies so had a play for their first outing.

White Linen DL cardblank.  I first made a brusho/pixie powder background in blues, greens & oranges.  I then die cut lots of triangles from it and then the top layer from white card and glued them together.  I arranged them on a strip of white linen cardstock, layered that onto a strip of my background and added to the cardfront.

Stamped sentiment to finish.  Simples😊

Close up.  This would also be a good design to use up all those little left over backing papers or i was thinking Christmas trees?
