August Rudolph Day

It's time for the eighth Rudolph Day of the year and another green and gold card (my RD theme for this year is green and gold).

 To make this card I used:
     C6 white hammer card blank
     Memory Box 'Sparkling Tree Tile' die
     Snippets of white hammer card, dark green paper and gold mirri card

I trimmed a snippet of white hammer card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and die cut the tree from the centre.  I then used Artist Tac to attach a snippet of dark green paper behind the aperture before attaching the panel to the card blank.  I die cut the tree from small snippets of gold mirri card and inlaid the baubles into the card.

Peony Posy

I made this card for a friend's special birthday using a lovely Hunkydory image and card.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Hunkydory Deco-Large 'Peony Posy' card and topper
     Memory Box 'Classic Numbers' and Tattered Lace 'Mini Butterfly' die
     Snippets of gold mirri

I trimmed the backing card, layered it onto gold mirri and attached it to the card blank.  I layered the peony posy with foam tape and attached the topper to the front of the card - I didn't use all of the layers as it was getting very bulky but used enough to give some dimension.   To finish I die cut '70' and a small butterfly from gold mirri , I attached the numerals to the lower corner and the butterfly to the topper.

More Big Birthday Wishes

Another male card using my 'go to' die - I do love this die as it always looks different when made with different colour card.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" kraft card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Big Birthday Wishes' die
     Snippets of kraft card, cream matt card and blue marbled paper

I trimmed the snippet of kraft card so it was slightly wider than the die and cut the large sentiment from the centre before attaching the panel to the front of the card blank.  I attached the snippet of blue marbled paper to cream card and die cut 'BIG' before inlaying the letters into the front of the card.  I die cut the rest of the sentiment from cream matt card and inlaid them.  To finish I trimmed two narrow strips of cream card and attached them down each side of the sentiment panel.

Upcycled Christmas Card

I'm still on a mission to use up oddments and snippets - as well as making more Christmas cards so I don't have a last minute rush later in the year.  This card uses an image from a Christmas card I received last year as well as a snippet of paper from a charity shop bag of oddments.

To make this card I used:
     C6 white matt card blank
     Upcycled Christmas card
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Oval STAX Die-namics' die`
     Snippets of green and gold paper and white paper

I die cut the image from the front of the Christmas card and set it aside.  I attached the snippet of patterned paper to the white paper to make it the same thickness as the die cut image, before trimming it so it was slightly smaller than the card blank.  I die cut an oval from the centre of the paper before attaching it to the front of the card blank.  To finish I inlaid the the dog image.
