A fun card making blog
This card is from the 30 Minute Card Making Stash Dash.
The parameters were as follows: Type of Card: A2 landscape, Colours: warm OR cool, Embellishment: animal, Technique: fussy cutting and Occasion: celebrate or sympathy.
I fussy cut the birds and placed them on a raised panel with twine across the piece. The background was lightly stencilled and I added a die cut sentiment at the bottom.
This is such a pretty fun fold card and it folds flat to 5x7 for mailing.
I chose old Graphic 45 papers for this card and selected 4 patters that complement each other. I also cut the papers so the patterns would be continuous.
The front sentiment was embossed and I added some flowers as well. Inside the card, I used the same flowers for the top and bottom panels and added a second sentiment on the centre panel. I didn't put any embellishments on this card to allow it to fold flat.
This set of cards is from the latest Let's Stamp Together subscription. The kit was provided by Brutus Monroe.
The mugs are so cute - all have openings in the top so the whipped cream, marshmallows, etc. can be inserted if desired.
Do you have a favourite card? I think mine is the card with the angled sentiment and lots of white space.

This pretty card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest.
The floral image was cut from a piece of white cardstock and I cut a frame to fit around the image. A piece of purple vellum was adhered behind the front and I stamped the sentiment in the lower corner. A few white gems were added to finish it off.

This card was created for a sketch challenge.
The sketch is shown below.
I die cut several leaves from two shades of green cardstock. The background was splattered with gold paint and I inked the edges of the yellow piece. The coral cardstock was embossed and I placed the leaves in and around the envelope. A hot foiled sentiment was placed on the envelope and I added two gold hearts plus gold gems.

Welcome to Cut It Up Challenge 368!
The theme for this challenge is thankful, grateful, blessed.
This is a Thanksgiving theme - our Thanksgiving in Canada is over now but there are always occasions to be thankful!
I used an adorable Lawn Fawn stamp set of fall mice. I stamped, coloured and die cut the mice and leaves. The pumpkins and the fence were die cut and inked. I also inked a scalloped border and stencilled clouds on the small rectangle. Everything was adhered to create a cute autumn scene. The small sentiment was stamped in the top corner.

This card is from the 30 Minute Card Making Stash Dash.
The parameters were as follows: Card Style: surprise inside, Colour: yellow, Embellishment: circle, Technique: colouring and Occasion: thank you or get well soon.
I chose to make a pop-up inside my card.
The images were stamped, coloured and die cut. I arranged some of them on a vellum circle on the card front and added a strip sentiment underneath.

Inside the card, there is a small pop up with another bunny and some additional images. I realized after the fact that I forgot to put something in the hands of the inside bunny... that will be resolved before I use this card!

I have wanted to make a card like this for ages... other commitments just kept getting in the way.
This one is inspired by one I saw on Pinterest.
I stamped the sentiment in the bottom corner and then splattered the background with silver paint. I found the centre point and drew a few lines with a black marker. The circle was cut in half and arranged on the front. I added flowers and leaves and some silver gems before adhering the front to a silver mat and then a white card base.

This is another card made as part of a virtual crop.
The challenge is shown below.
I used my favourite set of dies - Be Bold Blooms - for my card.
I used patterned papers for the outer panels. I also added thin gold strips on the edge of each panel. A small sentiment was stamped near the bottom and I splattered the background with gold paint. The flowers were die cut, inked and assembled to reflect the sketch.
Enjoy,
Alyson
