Thank you card

Sorry this looks a bit blurry but its taken late at night and my flash would not work for some strange reason. I have raided the stash for this one!  The flowers are from an SU DSP called "urban garden" (ret).  The smaller blue ones are from one pattern and the large green one from another. I have used a combination of dimensionals and foam squares to add dimension.

Supplies:
Card -
Paper - Blue dots - unknown DSP from stash, flowers fussy cut from "urban garden" DSP by SU
Other - rub-on from stash, old olive ribbon from SU
Adhesive - snail, dimensionals, foam squares, glue dots.

After the trouble with this one I have given up and will wait for daylight!

Happy crafting!
Cheers

A friendship card

Today's card features freebie paper from Simply Cards magazine.  I love the stitch pattern! The little flowers are cut out and popped up.  The sentiment is cut out and layered. I went around the edges of the green layer with a white gel pen to keep the stitch theme going.  Did the same across the bottom of the card base.

Supplies:
Card -
Paper - bashful blue and pear pizzazz c/s from SU, "lazy daisy" DSP from Simply Cards.
Ink - white gel pen
Other - Kaisercraft pearl pearls
Adhesive - snail, dimensionals

Only one card today as not well. Hopefully tomorrow will allow more crafting!

Happy crafting!

Die cut flowers

I was given these die cut flowers by Karen and resisting the urge to hoard I have used them!!  I don't know what die was used but I want one!

Card 1: I layered two of them on this one with dimensionals.  The petals are helpfully scored so you can bend them up for some dimension.  The stamp set used is a retired one from SU.

Supplies:
Card -
Paper - whisper white c/s from SU, the flowers I would hazard a guess are pear pizzazz (green) and early espresso c/s from SU
Stamp - retired SU
Ink - chocolate chip from SU
Tools - die cutting machine and die, stamp-a-ma-jig
Other - rich razzleberry spot ribbon from SU, Kaisercraft mint rhinestones
Adhesive - snail, sticky strip, dimensionals


Card 2: I free hand cut the stems and leaves (couldn't possibly tell could you! :) ) The red flower is popped up.  This is the CAS card for the day.

Supplies:
Card -
Paper - whisper white and pear pizzazz c/s from SU, guessing the flowers to be peach parfait and poppy parade c/s from SU
Stamp - retired SU
Ink - memento black
Tools - die cutting machine and die, stamp-a-ma-jig
Adhesive - snail, dimensionals

That's it for today. hope you have a good start to the week.

Happy crafting!

Fussy madness!

Only one card today because it took me soooo long to do! The image is from a paper pack from last Christmas that was a magazine freebie (sorry - can't remember which one). I fussy cut it and then adhered it to the c/s after stamping a background in Versamark. The ornaments and scalloped edge are highlighted with Kindyglitz. To finish the card I topped it with a circle clip tied with ribbon scraps. It looks very sparkly in real life.

Supplies:
Card - 
Paper - rich razzleberry and whisper white c/s from SU, magazine freebie DSP
Stamp - snowflakes from "snow swirled" by SU
Ink - Versamark
Tools - "threading water" border punch by Fiskars
Other - Kindyglitz "crystalina", circle clip from Kikki-k, spotted rich razzleberry ribbon from SU, silver ribbon from stash
Adhesive - snail

That's all folks.

Happy crafting!
