“Less is More” Card

 

 

 

This is an fast and easy project and can be used for different occasions. As much as I love an embellished handmade card I decided to try out some simple clean ones. For this card I used the 5th ave floral digital stamp from StampinUp! and changed the colors using my microsoft word app. For the sentiment I used Times new roman and Albermarle swash font. I used a yellow-orange textured card stock from Bazzill as a layer. After printing the digital image I sliced it in three parts. I sponged the edges using distress ink “antique linen” and used pop-up stickers to raise the image.

First Challenge: A “123 Recipe” Card


Today I’m entering my first Card challenge at Crafty Cardmakers hosted by Kim. The Challenge is called A Recipe Challenge 123. The card must contain 1 image, 2 background papers and 3 embellishments in which one must be a heart.

The image I used is a digital stamp from tiddlyinks . The Wryn collection.

I used two designer papers. One from the stamping up collection and the other a scrap. I do not remember what pack it came from.

For the embellishments I have hearts I cut out with with the cricut and pearls.

I really enjoyed this challenge and hope to enter many more. Thanks for checking out my blog.

Valentine’s Day Gift card holder

Here is a quick and easy gift card holder I made using my cricut. I used the Wild Card cartridge to cut out the card holder. I cut it at 4.10 in. I then cut out a stamped image about a quarter in. off the sides for the back of the holder. I used my sponge and pink ink around the edges of the image. I glued a paper flower and wrote in ” love you”. Happy Valentine’s Day!
