THURSDAY – AND BACK ON TRACK

Well almost – today I am going to share six smaller cards using the Days Like These Memories & More Card Pack and the Memories & More Cards and Envelopes.

For every M&M small card deign I used, I mounted them over a slightly larger card matte before adhering it to a small M&M cardbase.

I used a variety of embellishments, that you can see at the end of this post.

Because I know that you are all able to look at the card images and figure out what I have used, I am simply going to share photos of these projects.

Now I will bundle all of this week’s cards into a gift and create a box to present them in.

What do you think? Who would you give this gift to?

And soon, another week and another set of projects to share with you.

Last Friday and Saturday I enjoyed a live Virtual Cardmaking Retreat and made 15 gorgeous cards deisgned and taught by the amazing design team form Stampin’ Up!.

I imagine this will be equally inspiring.

I have two more cards to share with you, featurning the Days Like These Memories & More Card Pack.

This first card continues my LAYERING tecnique focus.

Although I have used layering, overlapping and angles; this is still a super simple card.

The Garden Green grid M&M card was adhered to a Garden Green matte and then attached to the Basic White card base.

The smaller paptterned M&M card was adhered, at an agle, to a Garden Green layer, and then positioned on the card front at an angle.

I love the way that angled designs draw your eye across the card in so many directions.

The greeting came from one of the M&M cards and was die cut using one of the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes Die set.

Before attaching it to the card front with dimensionals, I took a length of Garden Green & White Chevron Ribbon and folded it into three and secured it behind the greeting.

I added a thin strip of Garden Green card and a rectangle of patterned Garden Green card inside the card and a banner cut element ot the back of the envelope.

My second card today uses six die cut squares from coloured card and M&M card designs.

They have been equally spaced across the card front, some adhered directly to the base and others have been added using dimensionals.

Then I die cut a piece of Daffodil Delight M&M card into a frame and added it to the card front using Multipurpose Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped and cut using the slightly off circular die.

After stamping the greeting a second time in another colour, I cut ‘snippets’ as strip before popping it up from the background circle.

I used the geometric design from the Joyful Squared Stamp Set – bottom row, second from the left, to stamp inside the card.

I stamped the same greeting on the back of the envelope.

Finally, I added some Secret Sea Flat Pearls to the card front.

For my next couple of posts I will share some more cards using the smaller M&M cards and envelopes.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

TUESDAY IS ALL ABOUT SHARING TECHNIQUES

A simple technique that I use often is LAYERING.

I especially enjoy layering elements at angles. Today I have two cards to share with you using this technique.

The first uses strips of card cut from a couple of the Memories & More cards.

The background was mounted onto a Secret Sea matte and then adhered to the cardbase.

I took a length of white twine and pulled it apart before tying it around one of the strips.

The strips were then overlapped, layered and then adhered to the card front using Multipurpose Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I die cut three scalloped strips and attached one to the card front, one inside the card and two on the back of the envelope.

The greeting was made using the Delightful Wishes Dies. Remember to use Adhesive Sheets on the back of your card before die cutting the layers.

To finish this card I added some Secret Sea Flat Pearls.

The next card features the Joyful Squares Stamp Set and Dies.

After attaching the butterfly garden card to a Secret Sea matte and white card base, I die cut three squares and layered and attached them.

The greeting was stamped and die cut then added to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I die cut 5 of the scalloped pieces and added them to the card insert and the back of the envelope.

To finish the card I added some Cloud Cover Flat Pearls.

So, what do think about these layering and angleing card elements?

Tomorrow, two more projects to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
