Thinking of You

This card is monochromatic which means it has only one color in different shades. The “thinking of you” sentiment was created with leftover pieces of rose gold foil that I used on other cards. This is why it has so many lines cutting through the words, they are not solid lines. It gives the card an unfinished look which I really liked and found to be very unique. If you don’t want to do it with the lines, just use a brand new piece of foil.

The butterflies say Thank You!

This is another card inspired by the same Metallic Magic craft class (171482) as the previous post. For the butterflies, I used layers 2 and 3 of the Butterfly Flight decorative masks (170076), which are essentially stencils, to add the different layers of colors on the wings and the Hot Foil dies (170045) for the golden accents. The butterflies are in between the window sheet and the designer series paper background. The “thank you” sentiment is placed on top of the window sheet along with some adhesive glitter dots. I love the wonderful look the window sheet adds to the card!

Golden Butterfly Birthday

I created this card based on the Metallic Magic craft class (171482) on the Stampin’ Up website. I didn’t have the same papers that they used in the class but I replaced them with papers I have in my stash that best matched the colors they used.

It was so much fun using the new Hot Foil system (170009). It takes your card to the next level!!

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕 (The Paper Players: PP771)

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! I know we’re already in February but the start of the year was quite busy and I didn’t have much time to sit down and create. This Paper Players challenge called “Love is in the Air” inspired me to make a Valentines themed card and I got the idea to create this card by using scraps of Stampin’ Up designer series papers. To create the background I cut several strips to around 3/4” and combined them in a random pattern. Then, I just added the focal point where the heart is. I hope you like it and it gives you some ideas on how to use up some of that scrap paper I’m sure you have lying around! Feel free to comment if you have any questions on how I made the card.

The Paper Players Challenge 763

I made this card for a workshop, inspired by a beautiful Hallmark card I received last Christmas. I loved the gold ring used as a wreath, but I wanted to give it a fall twist instead of a Christmas theme. I decided to participate in The Paper Players color challenge since the card colors matched.

The acorns are hand-painted with watercolors, and I used the Amber Autumn stamp set and dies to bring it all together.

I hope you enjoy and it inspires you to incorporate wreaths into your own cards.
