Thanks For Your Support ~ Corset Green

Hello bloggers I have another girly card today.

 

This card began as an A4 sheet of topsy turvy card stock that I cut and scored to make a 6" square card blank.  Next I took an A4 sheet of green pearlescent paper and cut it to size before punching the corners using a Martha Stewart 'punch around the page' punch set.   I then stamped the corset onto the paper using Staz-on black ink pad and Creative Expressions 'frilly things' stamp set.  I then distressed the edges of the topper using black soot distress ink before adhering it to the front of the card.

Next I added a hand tied bow using some green and white ribbon.  This was adhered onto the bow on the corset.  The sentiment was stamped onto a different shade of green pearlescent paper using staz-on black ink pad and the same stamp set as above.  I t was then die cut using Spellbinder 'back to basic tasgs' die set.  I added a green brad to either side of the tag and then adhered it to the bottom of the card using foam pads.

Fairy Sweet

Hello bloggers today I have a sweet fairy card for you and not a die cut in sight.

This card began as an A6 kraft card blank.   I cut a strip of floral patterned paper for the bottom of the card and a coordinating plain one for the top, using Nitwit collections' in the meadow collection' papers.  Next I cut some striped ribbon and adhered it to the top paper with double sided tape wrapping it around the back of the paper.  The plain paper was then adhered to the card blank.  Next I attached the bottom paper and ribbon together and adhered them to the card blank.  Using another piece of ribbon I tied a knot around the ribbon strip.  A paper embossed border was added where the two papers joined and threaded under the blue striped ribbon.  Next a small square fairy topper was added to the card.  I also added a floral circular border and stamped a sentiment in the center using Staz-on black ink pad and Crafter's Companion flower fairies friends 'canterbury bell' stamp set.  Finally I added a metal flower bead to the ribbon knot.

Flowers are the music of life ~ button florals

Hello bloggers today I have a delightful floral card made using the button florals stamp set.

This card began as a white hammered 6x6 card blank.  To the front I adhered some pink pearlescent card stock.  Next I made a mat 5.5" square using some red waxed paper.  I then embossed it using That Special Touch Mask 'polka dot'.  Using some pink ribbon I wrapped this around the top corner of the red paper and then back round the opposite bottom corner where I tied a bow.  The mat was then adhered to the card.   Next  using a circle punch I punched out a circle from pink card and stamped onto it a sentiment using staz-on black ink pad and Creative Expressions 'button florals' stamp set.  A mat was cut for the topper using some lilac pearlescent paper and Spellbinders 'floral doily motif' die set.  The topper and mat were then adhered to the card.  Using some 2" wide strips of paper I scored and concertina the paper to make some concertina flowers.  On one flower I added a brad and another I added a button the other two were left bare.  Next I die cut some foliage using green ribbed paper and Spellbinders 'foliage' die set.  These were adhered to the card with the flowers.
