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.

Happy New Year ~ Celebrate!

 Happy New Year bloggers today is the first day of a brand new year, here's hoping it brings you plenty of love, luck and laughter.

This card began as a white 5x7 card blank.  First I stamped my image onto white cardstock using black soot distress ink and Crafter's Companion Popcorn the bear kids 'celebration' stamp set.  The image was then coloured using ProMarkers.    Once coloured I die cut the topper using Spellbinders 'lacey squares' die set.  Next I cut two strips of red polka dot paper and adhered them to the top and bottom of the card.  I then adhered some tartan patterned paper to cover the rest of the card.  Next I added the topper to the centre of the card.  Finally I stamped a 'Happy New Year' sentiment across the top of the card using Justrite 'large merry Christmas sentiments' stamp set and black soot distress ink.  At the bottom of the card I stamped 'celebrate!' using black soot distress ink and the popcorn stamp set I used previously for the image.
