Poppies- A Get Well Card....

 Good Evening

I have made a small card with a Get Well wish. I have stamped Poppies as this is the flower for August.

Close Up..

I have used a 5"x 5" (12.5cm x 12.5cm) White Scalloped Card.

Cut a piece of patterned card 12cm x 12cm for the background of the card.  Use a 'Corner Rounder' on all four corners. Attach to the card. Stamp the poppies on white card using a black ink pad and clear emboss. Die-cut the stamped image to a 9cm circle. Colour the poppies with Promarkers and add to the centre of the card. Die-cut a 9.5cm Scalloped circle and then again a 9cm plain circle, to form a frame in the patterned card. Punch out the grass effect in the patterned card and add to the bottom of the poppies on foam. Add the frame using foam too, making sure you cannot see the grass over the frame. Add the greeting.

Father's Day Card...

 Good Morning,

Not a very good morning here in Lancashire weather wise, but a good day to be inside crafting. I have designed a Father's day card using a Kraft 6"x 6" card.

 Close up:- 

 

Fold the front of the card back on itself. Die-cut a stitched edge square in patterned paper 13.5cm, and attach to the front fold approx 6cm onto the fold. Die-cut a tag in Kraft card 13.5cm x 4cm and a tag in the patterned paper 13cm x 3cm. Stick together. Make two holes at the beginning of the tag on the small side and tie string in a bow as in the picture. Attach the tags to the centre of the card. Die-cut two stars, one in Kraft card and one in the patterned paper and add to the centre of the main card. Stick a matching button threaded with string to the centre of the star. Cut a piece of cream card 14.5cm square and attach to the inside of the card. Now add a stitched die-cut Kraft card 10cm square onto the cream card. Add a small patterned star to the top corner inside the card as in the picture. Cut three 3cm squares, one in cream card, one in Kraft card and one in the patterned paper. Cut them diagonally so that you have six triangles. Attach the two patterned onto the cream card and add to the outside of the card as in picture, letting the cream card show at the edges. Add a running stitch on the Kraft card triangles with a fine liner pen. Add the remaining two patterned triangles to the inside back of the card. Add a greeting to the card.

Baby Time...

 Good Afternoon

I have designed two baby cards in different colours depending on whether you need a girl or boy card.

Close up on both cards:-

I have used white 5"x 5" Scalloped cards.

Die-cut 15 scalloped squares 2 different patterns for each card. Attach to the main card alternating the patterns and leaving the bottom right without the square. Stamp out the baby image onto beige spotted card using a grey Versafine Clair Ink pad and then emboss with clear embossing powder. (I used an Elephant stamp from L.O.T.V). Die-cut the image with a scallop die 7cm x 8.5cm. Stick to the centre of the card. Add a thin line around the Elephant image with a grey pen as in the picture.  Die-cut a frame from the scalloped dies, using contrasting colours, the centre of your frame being 7cm x 8.5cm and the outer straight edge 8cm x 10cm. Attach over the stamped image with foam. I have added some button thread to the frame but you need to attach before you stick the frame down. Stamp out the balloon again, in contrasting colour, cut out and add to the main image. Tie a bow to the balloon as in the diagram and add Liquid Pearls to the shadow on the balloon. Finish off with a greeting and add to the bottom right of the card.
