With Love....

 Just got a last card in before the end of September, 'With Love'. A tall slim Kraft card 21cm x 7.5cm.

Close up:- 

Cut a piece of the crimson scrapbook paper to fit the main card leaving a small border edge of the kraft card. Die-cut the ribbon die twice, in a contrasting paper and join together so that it fits down the centre of the card. Thread a slim piece of the crimson spotty paper through the ribbon slits. Add this to the centre of the card. Punch out three envelopes, one in the spotty paper and two in the contrasting paper. Make up the envelopes leaving them open as in the picture. Attach to the card on foam. Add a greeting to the centre envelope and foliage to the top and bottom envelopes. Tie a bow with button thread and add to the envelopes with a button in the centre envelope. Run a running stitch with a white liner pen around the spotty envelope and a contrasting pen on the contrasting envelopes and finish with a stitch around the main card with the white liner pen.

Another Year Older....

 Good Afternoon

Another year older is a card I have designed using the lovely scrapbook papers from Photoplay Autumn collection.

Close up:-

A5 White Card used.

I cut out the scrapbook paper at the corner of the sheet where the leaf pattern was, to fit on to my card, leaving a small white border around the edge. Die-cut three tags 11.5cm x 2.7cm using the reverse of the paper and attach to the card starting 3.5cm from the top and 6.5cm from the bottom, spacing them evenly. Just attach the beginning and leave enough room to weave the longer tags through. Cut two longer tags 17cm x 2.7cm, joining two of the smaller tags together. Weave the longer tags through and then stick down. Tie some coloured string to the first and third small tag as in the picture. Finish off with the greeting.

Playing with VersaMagic Ink Pads....

 Good Morning

I have designed a card with Autumn in mind although we aren't quite there yet. It was the colours from the VersaMagic Ink range that gave me the idea. VersaMagic Pumpkin Spice, Tea Leaves, Perfect Plumeria and Gingerbread, they made the ideal leaf card.

Close up:-

White Card 12.5cm x 12.5cm (5"x 5").

Die-cut a mixture of leaves in different shapes and sizes and coloured them using the VersaMagic ink pads and then embossed them with clear embossing powder. Die-cut a circle shape approx.8.5cm across, colour with the green ink and emboss with the clear embossing folder and then attach to the centre of the card. Die-cut two scalloped circles, one 5cm across (colour with green ink and emboss with the clear powder) and one 3.3cm approx. for the greeting. Thread white string through the smallest of the scalloped circles. Attach both these to the centre of the card. Attach the leaves around the circle die as in the picture. Stitch around the outer card using a fine liner pen, then stamp small leaves and acorns in the gaps around the main leaves.
