I followed the sketch layout to create this pretty card for a baby girl. I chose the paper and trimmed it down to create the border. I cut strips of silver paper to edge this top and bottom, before gluing flat to the card front. I stamped, coloured and die cut the image to coordinate. For the sentiment, I die cut the word, coloured it with copics and added glitter pen to make it sparkle. I glued the topper and sentiment into position to complete the card.

Sabrina loves the spa!!

• Stampin bella- uptown girl 'Sabrina loves the spa'
• Paper smooches- 'friend' word die
• Lawn fawn- scalloped rectangle stackables
• Memento 'tuxedo black' ink pad
• Neenah classic crest cardstock
• Copics- E50,51,21&93. Y12,E31,34,35. R81,83,85. BV000,00,01,02. YG17,21,23,25. Y19. B000, BG70. C00,0,1. W00,1,2,3,4&5. 0
• Lilac dot pattern paper
• Funky foam

I covered the card blank with the patterned paper. I then die cut a panel of white Neenah cardstock, using the scalloped rectangle to create the topper. I stamped the image onto the panel, making sure there was room for the 'friend' beneath. I then coloured the image using copics. I positioned the 'friend' die and cut the word out of the panel, making sure I saved the inner parts to complete the letters. I added foam to the back of the panel and glued this onto the card. Finally, I carefully added the pieces to complete the letters. I think die cutting the letters out of the panel creates a fun twist on a simple but effective card design.

I cut the white glitter card to fill the front of my card blank and gutted it. I then added a matt of patterned paper which I had die cut using the stitched edge. I cut a circle of vellum using one of the stitched edge dies. I also die cut the sentiments from white glitter cardstock. For the image, I stamped the presents onto several different papers, which coordinated with the background matt. I then fussy cut these out and paper pieced them together, to give the effect of different wrapping on each of the presents. I then assembled all of the pieces onto the card blank, following the sketch layout and glued down to complete the card.

roses for a friend...

• altenew- build -a-rose stamp & dies
• paper smooches- friend word die
• lawn fawn- large stitched rectangles
• SU!- dots for days (background stamp)
• SU! ink pads- pink pirouette, blushing bride, pear pizzazz & soft sky
• kraft card blank

I stamped dots to create a decorative panel for my card and die cut this into shape. I then die cut the word friend from the panel and kept the inside pieces for later. I then glued the panel onto the card and carefully added the floating pieces back in place to complete the word.

I stamped the rose and 3 leaves from the stamp set and die cut the images. I had to use 2nd generation stamping to get the right shade of some of the colours. I attached the leaves flat and the rose using foam, according to the sketch.

friend...

 

• SU!- whisper white ink pad, distress dots background stamp, bold butterfly framelits & butterflies thinlits
• paper smooches 'friend word' wise die
• 6x4" kraft card blank
• coral and yellow cardstock
• white funky foam
• yellow & white bakers twine
• neat & tangle clear sequins

I stamped my card blank to create a white dotty background. I added some yellow twine towards the bottom of my card. To do this, I wrapped it around the card blank twice and tied a knot. I die cut the word friend twice, once in some coral cardstock and once in funky foam, then glued both of these layers together to create dimension. I glued this sentiment onto the card blank underlined by the twine. I die cut the solid butterfly in a yellow cardstock, then used a detail butterfly die (in the same size) to cut the coral layer. I glued these together just in the centre (leaving the wings loose to add more dimension), then added them to my card design. The final touch was a few sequins as sparkly accents.

 

 I have finally found a liquid glue that is brilliant to use!! I used the tombow mono multi liquid glue to stick down everything on this card.

friend...

• 6x4" white card blank and cardstock
• HOTP- card maker's floral ultimate pack
• paper smooches- friend word wise dies
• bakers twine

I chose three coordinating papers, the first I cut just slightly smaller than the front of my card as a mat. the second I cut a 1" strip of paper and rounded the corners. i then glued this in position, to match the sketch layout. I made a hole down the spine of my card blank, in the centre of the paper strip. I threaded my twine through the card to wrap around a few times, then tied a bow. (if you have a top folding card you would not need to do this step, but since I had a side fold card I thought it would give a neater finish). I die cut the word 'friend' three times from white cardstock and once from the third piece of coordinating paper. I used glue to attach all 4 layers together to give the sentiment some dimension.
