He is Risen!

Hello Friends

I have started making my Easter card for my family and friends.  I just love the 2 dies I used for this card.  They are Hill Top w/Crosses and He is Risen w/Empty Tomb.  These 2 dies together really display the meaning of Easter.  I just love how this card turned out.

 Design Steps:

1.  Using the Hill Top w/Crosses and He is Risen w/Empty Tomb cut the following colors of card stock: gray, brown, green, white and black.  In the pieces with coordinating colors for depth and shading.  Glue the tomb together 

2.  Cut a black piece of card stock 6 1/8 x 4 1/8.  Then draw the shape of the hills you would like and cut.  Cut a piece of white card stock 6 1/8 x 4 1/8.  Ink the sun using a mask in yellow orange.  Ink around the edges of the sun in yellow.  Ink behind the sun in purple

3.  In the He is Risen white was cut in white the bottom yellow orange and the top yellow as shown above

4.  Glue the hill to the sky piece leaving the top unglued so you can tuck in the crosses.  Add the tomb to the bottom of the hill and then glue down the He is Risen

5.  Glue the panel to a 6 1/4 x 4 1/4 white card base.  Stamp a few birds in the distance and your card is complete

Miss You Flowers

 Hello Friends

I have friends in different states so I like to make miss you, thinking of you or just because cards.  I love receiving cards in the mail.  So that is my motivation for making and sending cards that don't require a specific celebration.   This card is using the Wildflower 1, 2, 3, and 4 dies.   This card was inspired by a card designed by Jamie Martin that I saw on Pinterest.

Design Steps:

1.  Use the Wildflower 1, 2, 3 and 4 cut all in white

2.  Select the flowers you would like to use and color them with Copic markers or markers of your choice.  Make a bow out of white raffia

3.  Use a Kraft A2 card base, cut a piece of mustard colored card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, cut a piece of DP 4 x 5 1/4.  Use the Miss You w/Shadow and cut the shadow in kraft and the words in white

4.  Glue the mustard card stock to the back of the DP.  Wrap a piece of burlap ribbon around the DP as shown above and attach with tape.  Glue the DP panel to the card base

5.  Arrange the bouquet of flowers onto the burlap ribbon and glue into place or use glue dots.  Add the raffia bow with a glue dot

5.  Add the hummingbird, sentiment and the pearls your card is complete

St. Partick's Day Pup

 Hello Friends

I really can't believe how time flies!! I am starting my St. Patrick's Day cards.  The one I am sharing today has a cute design that allows for a unique display.  I got this cute design from my friend Stacey.  I am featuring the Shamrock and Valentine Scottie die.

Design Step:

1.  Start with an 11 x 4 1/4 piece of white card stock. Score at 1/2 flip the card stock and score at 1/2 on the other end continue scoring 1 1/2, 3, 4, 5 1/2, 7, 8, 9 1/2

2.  Fold all score lines going the same direction

3.  Put glue one the 1/2 fold on both ends and fold in to create two equal rectangles as shown above.  Do not glue the rectangles together

4.  Using the Shamrock and Valentine Scottie die cut out the following colors of card stock: green, light green, yellow grey, dark gray, black and brown

5.  Assemble the Scottie and I used little rhinestones for the eyes

6.  To assemble the card cut 2 strips of green 4 1/8 x 7/8, 2 strips of DP 4 1/8 x 1 1/4, cut a scallop circle in  green(cut in half), cut a piece of green 5 x 3 1/2 (round the top corners) cut a piece of DP 4 3/4 x 3 (round the top corners)

7.  Glue the DP green to the top and the plain green to the front and back.  Add the circle halves to the top

8.   Glue the DP to the green as shown above and add your sentiment

9.  Slide the St. Patrick's Day panel in between the two rectangles and glue in place. Add the Scottie and I also decided to add a little white fence on the front and back as shown.  Your card is complete
