Hi, thanks for stopping by today. I have a card to show you today. It is a "Moving House" card.
I used an A4 sheet of white card and cut it down to fit the Teal Cardstock (DCWV) that I had left over.
I embossed the teal cardstock using a Couture Creations Swiss dots embossing folder.
In the corners I used a crop-o-dile corner chomper.
On the bottom edge I used a Spellbinders A2 Bracket Border die.
Above which I used some teal ribbon, pearls and a Carl punch to make the flowers adding some liquid pearls in their centres.
I used a Sizzix fancy frame bigz die with a centre piece "New Home" that I created on my computer.
I had the key in my stash as well as the little tag which I added the number of the new house onto.
Inside I added the branch from the bird branch bigz die and some more Carl punch flowers with white liquid pearls.
The little sentiment is something i found on the web which I coloured with a little distress stain.
Here are most of the ingredients I used to make this card:
Hello! Good to be with you again. After the Power Supply interruptions it's lovely to be back on my PC again. It serves from time to time to not be on your PC as sometimes the issue is not being connected, the issue is in being disconnected and giving you some breathing space away from the cyber environment.
Today I have two cards to show you; the thing they share in common is that they have pink in them and I have used more Marij Rahder 3D Decoupage papers on them.
Here's the first:
Opps! the photo is not quite square - apologies!
The Background Design Paper is from a Kaisercraft "These Days" 6.5" Paper Pad. I coloured the edges with a Vintage Photo ink pad. The Pink Polka Dot ribbon is from RRR.
The Marij Rahder sheet is #2574 and has flowers and this beautiful butterfly on it.
I used a Spellbinders Vintage Lace Motif die on DCWV card stock to provide the background to the flower medallion.
As you can see I went crazy with Gold and Opal white liquid pearls.
On the inside of this card, I carried the theme through in a very simple way, adding a gold "Peel Off" sentiment with more of the design paper and Marij papers.
Here's my second pink card:
This time I used a Kaisercraft "PInk Gelato" 6.5" Paper Pad and remnants from Marij Rahder sheets 2574 & 2575 for the flowers and butterfly.
The ribbon is from my local craft store and the little sentiment is made using a Just Rite stamp on some design paper scraps and cut out with pinking shears. I made up a whole stash of these and I use them a lot.
Similar to the previous card, I simply embellished the inside of this card too.
The main Ingredients I used for these cards:
Thanks for dripping by today. I hope all is well with you and yours
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope your day is either going well and/or gone well, such that you are now taking a load off and relaxing!
You may have noticed that I have added a Tab at the top of my Blog, next to the "Home" tag. I was chatting with a friend and they suggested putting my card commissions onto one page so that people can see them together. Always willing to listen and learn from feedback, I have created a page to do just that. Have a look if you have a minute!
I have also been experimenting with my Spellbinders Dies. I have noticed that Flip Cards are very popular at the moment. There are dies - Sizzix for instance, kindly provide them; that enable you to create this style of card. I decided to see if I could use my Spellbinders Dies to create them and I have four cards to show you today that show you the results of my playtime! I also made a video of them as well - it shows the mechanism a lot clearer than a photo image.
This is the front of the first attempt I made of this style of card. All the cards shown here were made from Cream Quill Multiboard 210gsm acid free card stock.
For this card I used the Kaisercraft Pink Gelato 6.5" Paper Pad for my background papers.
The decoupage is a Marij Rahder A4 sheet #2571.
The Spellbinders die I used was Labels Eight S5-019.
As a final touch I used Ranger Gold Liquid Pearls.
The inside of the card shows the use of the Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight Die S5-148.
Card number two.
On top of the base card I used a Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings 6.5" Paper pad. It has some great foil edges at the back of the pad that can be cut into strips and used, as I have done here, as a side feature.
The Spellbinders Dies used were, Grand Ovals, Large Ovals and Lacey Ovals.
The stickers are from K & Company and I used DCWV card stock underneath them.
The inside of card number two shows more of the stickers used as well as the pearls added as a final embellishment.
This is card number three.
On top of the base card I used a Kaisercraft Tigerlily 6.5" Paper pad as well as another of the strips from the sweet nothings pad.
The Spellbinders Dies used were, Grand labels Twenty Three as well as the standard Labels Twenty Three dies.
The decoupage is a Marij Rahder A4 sheet #2573.
The inside of card number three.
I added some little pink wired butterflies, I have had these for ages and they seemed to fit this card, apologies I cannot remember where I purchased them. I do know you can get them in craft stores.
... and to card number four.
For this card I used the Kaisercraft The Lake House 6.5" Paper Pad for my background papers.
The decoupage is a Marij Rahder A4 sheet #2575 and I used some Judikins Diamond Glaze to add an enamel layer to these decoupage embellishments.
The Spellbinders die I used was Labels Grand Labels Eleven LF-246.
I again used Ranger Gold Liquid Pearls to add a little feature to the card as a final touch.
The inside shows another strip from the Sweet Nothings Paper Pad as well as how I decorated the reverse Flip.
I used the two smallest dies in the series of the Spellbinders Grand Eleven Dies.
If you are curious about the dimensions I used as well as a first introduction into making them with your Spellbinders dies, then this may be helpful to you. I also refer to it on the attached video clip.
