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.

Time For Tea....

 Good Afternoon,

Time for tea....I have designed a card so you can invite someone, a friend or relative for a cup of tea and a chat.

Close up:-

I used a tall slim Kraft coloured card 19.5cm x 10.5cm.

Cut a piece of patterned paper slightly smaller than the main card so as to leave a smaller border edge. Attach to the card. I used Stamperia Herbarium papers as it had a Tea theme. Make a small pocket in matching papers 9cm x 8cm, finished and add to the bottom of the card. Remember to leave the top open to put the teabag in. Add a border strip 10.5cm x 1.5cm in the Kraft card to cover the bottom of the pocket. Add a border strip in matching papers on top of the Kraft card. Die cut another Zig Zag border strip and attach to the top of the card. Tie a piece of button thread twice round the length of the card and finish with a bow. Add the greetings and the teabag.
