Thinking Of You Card

This card was made using Taylored Expressions Birch Tree Background, Avery Elle Petals & Stems, a butterfly punch, Hero Arts embossing powder and Bazzill cardstock.

The birch trees were stamped onto Bazzill Alpaca cardstock with MFT Cement Gray ink.  A panel of white was added behind this piece to give a very narrow white edging.  This was then adhered to a top folding card base.  The sentiment was heat embossed in white on Sugar Wafer cardstock and added to the card with foam tape.  The butterflies were punched, layered and positioned on the sentiment strip.

Diamond Aperture Card

This card was made with My Favorite Things Hello There dies, Birthday Bears stamps and Blueprints 13, American Crafts glitter paper, Hero Arts white embossing powder, Cricut Explore Air and MFT cardstock.

Using the Cricut Design Space app on my iPad I created the diamond aperture and matching frame.  The white layer was then die cut using the largest die from Blueprints 13.  The frame was adhered before adding it to a top folding card base with foam tape.  I heat embossed the sentiment next then die cut the 'hi' word 3 times in white and once in silver glitter paper.  I added these elements to the card to finish.

Birthday Tag Card

This card was made using CAS-ual Fridays Funky Round Tag die and Bold Greetings stamp set, My Favorite Things Chevron Cover-Up die, Amy Tangerine Stitched paper pad, Simple Stories Snap paper pad, ribbon from my stash and Bazzill cardstock.

The largest layer of the tag was die cut from the spotty paper and the sentiment was stamped on the white layer, the tag was then assembled with foam tape between the layers.  The white layer was die cut next and again foam tape was added behind this for dimension.  The chevron layer was added to the pattern paper and then grosgrain ribbon wrapped around.  The tag was added next using the ribbon to secure it.  This panel was then added to a top folding card base and the final step was to add the tiny rhinestone embellishments.
