Good morning papercrafting friends,
Today's post is about the three cards I made this week. I have used three different background dies and used different techniques for each card.
I have recorded the process and you can see the video here.
I have used a no brand set of dies for this first card. I cut the die three time using white cardstock. I layered these on top of each other and attached them to the handmade card base.
The card base is 11 3/4" x 4 5/8" and scored at 3 3/8" and 9 1/4". I have used white cardstock as I was going for a classic elegant look but you could use a colour for your card base.
I have attached a piece of patterned paper to the centre inside of the card. This is where I put my sentiment. The sentiment is a stamped image saying "Thinking of You" that was a giveaway with a magazine I purchased a while ago. I stamped on white card stock and then heat embossed it with silver embossing powder.
The flower on the front of the card is hand made using velum and Couture Creations CO724161 die
The second card also uses a no brand background die. I have cut it in white and attached it to a 5" square mauve card base.
To embellish the card front I have used some gauze, pearl stems, flowers and leaves. I have attached these with my hot glue gun.
The sentiment was also heat embossed using another stamp from a purchased magazine and some very old glitter embossing powder. This was matted on some of the same cardstock that the card base was made from, and then attached to the card with foam tape.
Once again a no brand die was used to cut the background with white cardstock.
I also cut the die from three other patterned papers.
I cut the black card base to create a 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" card. I used glue to attach the die cut to the card base, then using the pieces from the other die cuts I have filled in the butterfly and the flowers.
This was a very time-consuming process but the more I did the easier it got.
I chose two flowers from my stash and attached them to the front of the card and to make the butterfly stand out a little more I attached a coloured butterfly outline.
The sentiment is computer generated and mounted on black cardstock. This is attached to the card using foam tape.
Because the card base is black I have attache a 6" x 4" pale pink patterned paper to the inside where a hand written message can be written.
