Season's Greetings

Hello, crafty friends, I have a card for Merry Monday.

Another simple design. I used paper from a single paper pad. The tag and sentiment are both from the same paper pad. I added foam tape to pop up the elements, then added some twine to the tag.

The card was finished with some gems.

Supplies:  White cardstock, Designer Paper - Kaiser craft, twine, gems.

Did you know: Cleopatra Queen of Egypt during 50 to 30 B.C. She came into power at 12 years old and married two of her brothers during her reign. It sounds crazy today, but this was fairly common practice back then!

Happy crafting,

Fields of green

Hello, crafty friends. It is Washi Tape Wednesday.

I feel like I cheated with this card, as it came together so quickly. I used a section from some wide washi tape and applied it to white cardstock, then used a rectangular die to cut out a panel.

I adhered that to a piece of black cardstock, using a thin-edge embossing folder along the bottom of the panel. I popped the panel up with foam tape to adhere it to the card base.

I added a sentiment strip with foam tape and finished the card with some metal candy dots.

Supplies: White and black cardstock, Washi Tape, Simon Says Stamp - Sentiment Strip, Stampin' Up! - Candy Dots, Spellbinders - Edge embossing folder.

Comfy and Cozy

Hello crafty friends, Merry Monday. I have a simple card to share today. 

I started with a layer of designer paper and then added a layer of black cardstock. I did the same with the panel along the center and the sentiment panel and adhered them all together.

I finished the card with a gem in the middle of the winter flower.

Supplies: White and black cardstock, Designer paper - Echo Park, gems.

Hello Summer

Hello, crafty friends, I am pretty sure I have mentioned my somewhat new love of Graphic 45 papers. I can't help myself; they make creating a card easy with all the coordinating elements.

I started with a piece of patterned paper, layering it with black cardstock to add a slim frame. I cut two pieces of coordinating paper, added black cardstock to those as well, and adhered them as vertical strips.

I used one of the pre-made panels as the focal point and layered it with black cardstock and foam tape. I added two additional sentiment strips to the corners, anchoring them with foam tape.

I finished the card with gems.

Supplies: White and black cardstock, Designer Paper - Graphic 45, gems.

Did you know: Humans are born with about 300 bones, but some fuse together as we grow older. As a result, we only have around 206 left by the time we reach adulthood.

Happy Crafting,

All your wishes

Hello, hello crafty friends. Have you had a good summer so far? It has been a hot minute since the last time I posted a card.

I have a card with a simple layout to share, I did not make it recently, and I have not created much in weeks, more like months, so I will ease back into it.

I started this card with a piece of designer paper, added a second coordinating piece from the same paper pack and layered a stitched circle element on top.

I added a sentiment strip layered with a piece of scrap paper from the base layer and some foam tape. I finished the card with some gems.

Supplies: White cardstock, Designer Paper - Moda Scrap, Circle Die cut, Simon Says Sentiment Strip, gems.

Did you know: It would only take one hour to drive to space if you could go straight up in the air.

Happy Crafting,
Nina
