Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Good Morning and Merry Monday, I have a really quick and easy card this morning using Designer Paper from Caio Bella.

I went a little crazy with this Designer Paper last fall, I love love love it. It makes creating a card so simple too.

I had the panels die-cut in advance, I was not feeling creative at a crop so I did some cutting and die-cutting of panels in preparation. I added a layer of brown cardstock in behind. I then added some twine and Nuvo drops to finish. The panel is popped up with foam tape.

Supplies: White and brown cardstock, Designer Paper - Ciao Bella, Simon Says Stamp - Stitched Rectangles,  twine Nuvo drops,

Cheers,
Nina

Thank you

Good Morning, we had a stunning day here yesterday and I spent some wonderful time out in the sun.

I love the fun bright spring like patterns on this card. I user a stitched edge die to segment two different designer papers. I added a layer of brown cardstock in behind the panel for a small frame.

The sentiment is stamped on an scrap piece of patterned paper then popped up with foam tape. I finished the card with some gems.

Supplies: White and brown cardstock, Designer Paper - Carta Bella, My Favorite Things - Stitched Basic Edges, Poppy Stamps - Art Deco you are wonderful.

Thank you for visiting,

Thanks a bunch

Good Morning I have a small masculine card for you today.  

I apologize for the quality of the photo, this card was 'can you make real quick' then it was given within moments. The card is smaller, not quite A2.

I was working with a 6x6 paper pad at the time and I feel the paper was perfect for masculine card. I added some brown cardstock in behind the patterned paper leaving a gap between the panels for some brown twine.

I heat embossed the sentiment then popped it up with foam tape. I finished with some brown half pearls.

Supplies: White and brown cardstock, Designer Paper - Echo Park, My Favorite Things - Bitty Thanks and Gratitude, twine, pearls.

Kangaoo in the Forest

Last summer I created this card for a co-work who was moving to Australia. With my lack of posting last year this of course did not make it to my blog. When the reports of the devastating Australian wild fires started, it did not feel right to post my card.

Since, I have seen many cards created in support of the wildfires with that in mind I am posting my card.

I was thinking beautiful sunrise/sunset as I made this card, of course not devastation. I used Distress Ink to blend a create the background. I added some shimmery spritz as splatter. I die cut the silhouette from black cardstock, I then added foam tape to the entire panel.

Supplies: White and black cardstock, Paper Rose - Kanagroo in the Forest, misc Distress inks, shimmer spritz.

Deepest Sympathy

I used a quick and easy layout for this card. I die cut the gray background panels with Simon Says Stamp stitched Rectangle dies cuts then fit panels of Designer paper inside the stitched areas.

Today is all about YOU!

Nice clean lines for today's card, I used quick and easy panels. I added a layer of black cardstock behind each panel leaving enough room between them to see the designer paper on the bottom panel.

The sentiment panel is popped up with foam tape, I finished the card with black half pearls.

I love this paper pad from The Paper Boutique, the panels make for such simple yet beautiful cards. I have a Merry Monday card for you today.

I used a stitched square die cut to cut out the panel, I added a layer of black cardstock. I stamped the sentiment and die cut it before popping it up on foam tape. I finished with some sequins.

Freshly Made Sketches #420 - Love

I am playing along with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge for today's card.

I had a picture in my mind for this sketch for a couple of days before I was able to put it together.

I started with the top panel and stamped the sentiment. I then added the quilted texture. I ran it through my Big shot twice, once to add texture with an embossing folder then a second time on its own to flatten it back out so the texture was not so bold.

I then heat embossed the heart on a second piece of cardstock and used the die cut to cut out the layers. I have not yet cut the hearts apart so they were perfectly spaced. I added foam tape between each layer to pop the hearts up.

I added foam tape to the back of the textured panel. I stamped and die cut the Love sentiment then finished the card by adding silver half pearls.

Supplies: White cardstock, Simon Says Stamps - Stamps and Die set, embossing folder, gems.

Be Confident

I love this paper, it was a scrap in my collection and I have no idea of the brand. I used a nice and simple layout, the paper did all the work for me.

I layered the designer paper with a layer of black cardstock, the sentiment panel is popped up with foam tape. I finished with clear drops, along the bottom and in the center of each large flower.

Supplies: White and black cardstock, Designer Paper - unknown,  Simon Says - Uplifting Thoughts, gems. 

Be Amazing,
Nina
