Thanks A Bunch ~ Decoupage Diamond Top Spring Card

Hello bloggers I hope you had a good day yesterday.  Today I have a thank you card using the diamond top spring card.

This card began as an A4 sheet of red topsy turvy card stock that I cut and scored to make a diamond spring top card blank.  Next I used Kaisercrafts sweetpea paper pad to add a mat to the base of the card which was adhered into place.  I then stamped the sentiment twice on the base using Creative Expressions 'button florals' stamp set and dusty concord distress ink.  Next using the same sweetpea paper I cut a mat for the topper using spellbinders lacey squares die set.  The decoupage was from my stash I printed it off a My craft studio Cd -ROm along time ago and never used it so can't remember the name of it. cut oiut and layered up with foam pads before being added to the mat.  The mat and topper were then adhered onto the diamond top.

Happiness

Hello blogger well the clocks have gone forward and we are now officially in British summer Time.  Today is also Mothering Sunday here in the UK, so a happy Mothering Sunday to all the mother's out there.  Today's card is a card about happiness and flowers.

This card began as an A4 sheet of purple Topsy Turvy card stock that I cut and score to make a 6x6 card blank.  Next I cut a sheet of lilac pearlescent paper to slightly smaller than the card blank to form a mat for the card.  This mat was then adhered to the card front.  Using PaperMania 'amethyst infusion creative tones' paper pack I took out a patterned paper and cut it down slightly to make another mat for the front of the card.  Next using black soot distress ink and Creative Expressions 'button florals' stamp set I stamped my sentiment onto some lilac pearlescent paper.  This was then die cut using Spellbinders 'labels 33' die set.  The sentiment topper was adhered to the card.  Finally I used Spellbinders die D-Lites 'blooms two' die set to cut out some flowers from the purple Topsy Turvy card and the lilac pearlescent paper.  Once die cut the flowers were shaped using an embossing tool.  I added two small flowers cut from the Topsy Turvy card stock to the sentiment topper.  The rest of the flowers were layered up to give a dimensional flower which was added to the top right hand side of the card.
