#CreateWithKathe #JorjaRoseFiles
This week we had so much fun making two gorgeous, but very different
cards.
The first is a "Pop Out Swing Card", based on the card I made for
Valentine’s Day.
The second card we made was a Parisian Shabby Chic Card, showcasing my
new MFT “Bicycle” Die ...
Project 1 “Pop Out Swing
Card”
Based on my Valentine Card, the ladies were able to choose their own
sentiment from the “Crazy About You” stamp set, and matching die cut words from
the “Hello You” Thinlits.
“You make me happy”
“Thinking of you”
For all the construction details, please head on over to my original
Post, which can be found here
“Crazy about you”
I took on Jill’s advice for this last card and made panel slight longer,
so that it sat over the square cut, so it was more obvious to the recipient to
pull/swing the card open. Thanks Jill
for your suggestion ...
“Just sayin’ happy birthday”
This last card was made for a little friend turning 5 years old. I added
in the swing, as it looks so cute and childish.
Wah-lah …”Pop Out Swing Card” done {again}!
Project 2 “Parisian Shabby Chic
Card”
I had so much fun designing this card, which was based on a
couple of watches I purchased earlier this week, can’t wait till they arrive!
The card-base is Naturals Ivory, measuring 8” x 5, ½”, folded
in half, finished size is 4" x 5, ½”.
The “Post Card” stamp is inked up with Soft Suede, and
stamped on to another piece of Naturals Ivory cardstock.
Stamps from the “Artistic Etchings”, “Painted Petals” and “Sheltering
Tree” are stamped in Blushing Bride, Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede, Strawberry
Slush, and Momento Tuxedo Black.
The Post Card is then cut to size using the Stampin’ Trimmer.
Four strands of the Wild Wasabi “Painted Blooms Cotton Twine”
are combined with two lengths of Linen Thread, which are twisted together, then
wrapped around the “Post Card” panel and adhered. Combining the same 4+2 recipe, some more Wild
Wasabi {PBCT} and Linen Thread are tied in a bow and adhered.
The bicycle is cut in Basic Black cardstock using the MFT “Bicycle”
Die, and adhered using 2-Way Glue Pen.
The sentiment “You've got courage, you've got strength.” is from
the “Something To Say” stamp set, and is stamped in Soft Suede, and cut using
the “Word Bubbles” Framelits.
The cute little heart is also from the “Something To Say” stamp
set, and is stamped in Strawberry Slush and punched with the little heart from
the “Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack”.
Both of these are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and finally
the "Post Card" is also adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card-base.
The finishing touch are the small Pearls, from the Pearl Basic
Jewels, which are added to the flowers, the heart and 3 little Pearls on the
left side of the card.
For the card insert, as the cardstock is Naturals Ivory and quite thick, I
was able to stamp/decorate straight onto the cardstock, without needing to add
another panel/layer.
Strawberry Slush blooms are stamped from the “Painted Petals”
stamp set, with little Pearls added to the centre of each bloom.
The Eiffel Tower {from the "Artistic Etchings" stamp set} is stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black, as it
gives a nice clean finish.
Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter is added to the Eiffel
Tower with 2-Way Glue Pen.
For the sentiment “You are amazingly amazing” is stamped in Early
Espresso onto Vellum.
The sentiment is layered with another piece of Naturals Ivory
cardstock that has been stamped with blooms in Strawberry Slush, which peak out
from under the Vellum.
Both the Vellum sentiment and the stamped blooms {on Natural
Ivory cardstock} are punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, and then Venetian
Crochet Trim is looped and threaded through, knotted and stapled with the Mini
Handheld Stapler. The "Project Life Corner" Punch is used to round the corners of the Tag.
The finishing touch are the three small Pearls that have been
coloured with Pink Pirouette Blendabilities.
Wah-lah … ‘Parisian Shabby Chic Card” done!
