A Pink and White woven Birthday Card

Hello my blogging family and friends I hope your Thursday is going or has gone well. My this week has just flown ... in fact this month seems to be going at the fastest rate of knots.

Today's card is another vision in pink, here it is ...

I made the base of the card first using white American Crafts cardstock. Then used a Sue Wilson Noble collection ornate pierced squares die to make the frame in pink and white.

To make the weaved layer I used the scraps that were made when I used the Sue Wilson striped weaving die for another card. Like any crafter you hate to throw stuff away and I said I could use those pieces ... and this time I did!
Once all those pieces were woven together I used foam tape between that layer and the frame, then trimmed the woven layer to fit so there was no overlapping.

In the centre I added the Sue Wilson Best Wishes sentiment, placed it on an oval cut in white and inked the edges using a pink ink pad, sticking a little rhinestone over the i of wishes.

In the right hand corner of the card, I added a couple of Spellbinders leaves, some pink open net Tulle and a mixture of Petaloo flowers and one flower I made using a quilling technique.

I generated a sentiment for inside the card and printed it off on my computer then cut it out with a Sue Wilson die.

A Blue and Cream woven Happy Birthday Card

Hello! Trust all is well with you and yours.

As you can tell I have been playing with Sue Wilson's Weaving Collection of dies and today's card is no exception.

Here it is:

I used American Crafts white Cardstock and the Sue Wilson largest Noble Ornate Pierced Rectangle die. Then I used the Sue Wilson classic weaving die and cream cardstock then glued blue strips I cut using the striped weaving die.

Once the weaving was done, I created the frame using the Noble die again in cream and blue, then used foam tape to layer it on top of the woven layer.

I just cut the woven layer to fit underneath the frame.

I used the Sue Wilson pierced flag dies to cut the strip onto which I added the sentiment cutting it with an Elizabeth Crafts Design "Happy Birthday" die.

I added some cream tulle, Sue Wilson quilted leaves and a Petaloo flower to the right hand side of the card.

I kept the inside of the card very simple. I added a weaving strip near the fold to match the front of the card.
Then in blue I used the Sue Wilson Happy Birthday die  for the central sentiment.

A square aperture Christmas card

Hello how are you?

Today's' card I think is gorgeous, but that's only my opinion. It is very much inspired by Sue Wilson and of course I used her dies to make it.

Here it is:

Isn't it pretty? I began with a square piece of white card stock and cut out an aperture using the Sue Wilson Italian Collection Tuscany die twice.

The piece of card that remained I embossed using an A4 checkboard embossing folder.









I stuck this embossed layer to a prepared mat with foam tape raising it to give it some dimension. Then using the whole piece cut from the aperture and  another I cut out separately back into the aperture.

The matted base layers are the card itself made using white card stock, then a layer of Kaisercraft scarlet weave card stock then a pierced layer of white card stock.

Once most of the card was together I worked on the middle piece.

This time I used the Sue Wilson Italian Collection decorative frames dies and alternated the colours of the layers as you can see here.

At the centre I had stamped the sentiment with a memento Tuxedo Black ink pad using a Just Rite stamp. Adding some iced show around the outer edge.

On the bottom left edge I added some faux quilled leaves in white and some small red Petaloo poinsettias.

I kept the inside of the card fairly simple adding a strip of read and white polka dot ribbon and another sentiment using a Hero Art stamp.
