Love, Joy And Peace From Our House To Yours

Hello bloggers I hope that you had a good day yesterday and are well.  Today I have a Christmas card from our house to yours.

This card began  as an 8x8 card blank that I cut down to 8x7.  Next I adhered a traditional Christmas paper to the front of the card.  Using some green card stock and Spellbinders 'holiday tree 2010' die set I cut out all three sizes of trees.  Whilst still in the die I inked through each one with a different green distressing ink.  I used pine needles, peeled paint and evergreen bough.  I then layered the trees up with foam pads before adhering them to the left hand side of the card.

Next using some more green card stock I die cut a mat for the sentiment using Spellbinders 'labels 33' die set.  I then typed the sentiment on the computer using Word and printed it onto white card stock.  It was then die cut with a smaller labels 33 die.  Whilst still in the die I inked over with barn door distress ink.  The sentiment and mat were adhered together and added to the right hand side of the card.  Finally I used some green card stock and die cut four corners using Spellbinders 'holly accents' dies set.  The corners were adhered onto each corner to finish the card.

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.

Spiderman Marvel easel twisterpage

Hello bloggers today I have a Marvel card with a twist.  First of all it's a Twistapage decoupage topper and then it is also an easel card.  Thought it would jazz up the run of Marvel cards I have been showing you.

This card began as a white 5x7 card blank that I cut to a shaped card using Spellbinders 'grand scallop squares' die set.  From some Centura snow white card stock I also cut a mat to form the easel front and adhered it into place.   Using some Marvel Spiderman patterned paper I used the same die twice to make a mat for the front and inside of the card.  I adhered the mats to the card stock.  Next using some red holographic mirror board I die cut a mat for the decoupage using Spellbinders 'scallop labels 1' die set.  The mat was adhered to the topper and then the topper was added.  The topper was made from a Marvel twistapage sheet that I cut out and mounted with foam tape.  The finished decoupage has a twisted shape to it hence the name twistapage.  Finally I die cut a mat for my sentiment using red holographic mirror board and Spellbinders 'label 33' die set.  I then adhered a topper from my decoupage sheet and attached both to the inside of the card as the cards stopper.
