Thinking of You

I made this card for the current Less is More 'Acetate or Vellum' challenge.  I'm also entering the Alphabet Challenge 'Q for Quick and Simple' and Crafting with Dragonflies 'Let's Go Floral' challenges.  The vellum is from my snippets drawer, so I'm also heading to the playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.

Card blank: 6" x 6" white hammer
Other: Magenta Style '3D flower' and Stampendous 'Friendly Greetings' peel-offs, Sakura Gelly Roll 'Clear Star' pen
Snippets: White vellum

I attached the flower peel-offs to white vellum and fussy cut them.  I attached the main image to the card front with a dot of tacky glue under the flower centres and the bottom of the stem.  I then shaped the other layers and attached them in the same way.  As the glue could be seen under the top flower, I coloured the flower centres with the 'Clear Star' pen.  To finish I added the sentiment to the lower edge of the card.

Thinking of You

The current challenge at The Male Room is 'Remembrance or Sympathy'.  I made this card with peel-offs (something I haven't used for a while) and snippets of card so I'm off to the playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.

Card blank: 6" x 6" white silk
Card: Silver mirri
Punch: Woodware Crafty Edger 'Ribbon Cassette'
Other: Magenta Style '3D flower' (name unknown) and Woodware 'Sympathetic Thoughts' silver peel-offs, Diamond Stickles
Snippets: White card

I used the Crafty Edger on a piece of silver mirri, trimmed it to size and attached it to the card front.  I then attached a piece of white card over the silver mirri it so it covered the ribbon holes.  The main flower was attached to the left side of the card  and the sentiment in the lower corner.  I attached the flower layers onto snippets of white card, fussy cut them and attached the layers with Pinflair glue.   To finish, I added Diamond Stickles to the centres of the flowers.

January Rudolph Day

I was over the moon when ScrappyMo invited me to be one of her Guest Designers for the January Rudolph Day.

Rudolph Day runs from the 25 to 31 January and the theme is 'Anything Goes as long as it's Christmas'.  The winner will be chosen by random draw on 1 February and this month the prize is a fabulous Memory Box die - so make sure you join in the fun!

My Rulolph Day cards are quick and simple as they are usually the ones that I make in batches and this card is no exception.

Card blank: 6" x 4" white silk 
Stamps: Magenta 'Floral Holiday Trio' and Woodware 'Snow is Falling'
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black
Colouring: Promarkers
Card: Red mirri and white silk card
Other: Wink of Stella

I stamped the image onto white card and coloured it with Promarkers.   This was then trimmed to size, layered onto red mirri card and attached to the card blank.  The sentiment was stamped directly onto the front of the card.  To finish, I outlined the the image with Wink of Stella.

Three Flowers and Three Rectangles

I made this card for a card swap which is 'Three flowers and a minimum of three rectangles - for any occasion'.  I've had the peel-offs for ages so I'm entering this card into the Oldie but a Goodie Challenge 'Feeling Floral'.  I'm also in Pixie's Crafty Snippets Playground again.

Magenta Style flower peel off
Sentiment from snippets drawer
Papers and card from snippets drawer
Promarkers

A rectangle of green paper was attached to yellow card and attached to the card blank.  I attached the Magenta Style flower peel off onto a rectangle white card attached this to yellow card.  The separate flowers were attached to card and cut out so I could decoupage the image and the images were then coloured with Promarkers.  The image was attached to the card front with foam tape and I used silicone glue to attach the decoupaged flowers.  A silver peel off was attached to another rectangle of green paper, layerd onto yellow card and attached to the card front.  To finish I attached three circle peel offs to the card front.

Clematis Birthday Card

I was asked to make a pretty birthday card with flowers and decided to use these pretty Magenta clematis peel-offs.  I had made one of these cards in a workshop at Japonica last year and liked the finished card, so decided to make another one.  I'm thinking of submitting this card as one of the items for Unit One of the Certificate in Papercraft, so I would welcome feedback, please.

To make the card I put the main clematis peel-off onto a piece of white linen card and rounded the corners.   This was attached to a larger piece of pink linen card which had been embossed with Swiss Dots and also had rounded corners.   The other clematis flowers were stuck onto white linen card for the decoupaged image.  I used the reverse image of the peel-offs to decorate the square white linen card blank and also some of the small dots from the peel-off sheet.  I coloured the image with coloured pencils as I wanted a 'soft' finish.  I rubbed the wrong side of the flowers to give them shape and then attached them to the main flower with foam pads.  The clematis topper was then attached to the left side of the card blank.  I attached a peel-off greeting to white linen card and attached this to a piece of pink linen card which had also been embossed with Swiss Dots and had rounded corners.  This was attached with foam tape as I wanted it to be raised from the card blank to offset the decoupaged clematis image.   I then attached a small pink bow, this matched the coloured pink card and the white spots highlighted the embossed card and also the peel-off
