Ideas from a Sketch

Here we have a sketch to work with.

This card is from Crafty Debs

Crafty Debs has used Jane's amazing Glamour Shoes

Debs has decorated the shoes with Lavender, Silver and Stardust Stickles the best glitter glue around.

The words all come from the same stamp set. Crafty Debs has used the 2 inch and 2.5 inch circle punches to get the layers.

Traditional Christmas Trees

Or why not wrap over? Jane the Flower Girl has done just that with the Tag Top punch.

Jane has stamped her Traditional Christmas Tree on three tags. They have then be edged and scored them to make them different sizes. I like the way that Jane has stamped the centre tree to the side to make room for the greeting.

Here you can see what Jane has used. She has also added a greeting under the one of the tags.

For her inking and stamping Jane has used the Graphic 45 dye ink from ColorBox.

A great card from Jane the Flower Girl.

Calendula Bloom

Today we have a card from Kim

Kim has used Jane's Clear Magic Calendula Bloom.

Kim has stamped in brown and embossed with clear powder, on the wonderful Woodware Mixed Media Card. Kim has then inked the background and the flowers with dye ink and a piece of cut 'n' dry

the greeting comes from the same stamp set. Kim has then stamped the flower again and dye cut the circle and a larger circle from brown card.

I love the way that Kim has got the watery background on the card, and the vellum strip that she has added to the card.

Bubble Wrap, but not the Plastic Type

I love the idea of adding a wrap around cards, a great way to keep things together when making invitations.

I have used Jane's Lilly Clear Magic Bubble Bloom one of her new releases.

first I stamped and embossed in white on the black Textura 12 x 12 Card

Then I stamped Lilly in black on sheets from the Lavender Mist 6 x 6 Perfect Prints Pad, I used black licorice dye ink from the Stephanie Barnard collection from ColorBox for this.

I then cut out the petals, trimming inside of the black lines.

The stem is rather tricky!

To decorate the bubbles I have used a mixture of Time Flies Card Candi, Stickles in Grape Crush and Silver and White Pearl Pen. These Pearl Pens are really easy to use and hold the shape really well.

the greeting is from the die cut messages and they are great for adding a quick greeting, especially if you like to make cards in advance and then add a greeting to make it perfect for a special person. I have layered it on a punched circle with the big yellow size circle.

Now for the wrap...

The card is a square cut from a folded piece of A4. I cut a strip 2.5 inches wide and then scored it on my Groovy board to make an A4 gate fold card, then I embossed some lines.

I used the Tag Top Punch with the Square Shoulders. I used Lettuce Embossing powder to edge the wrap.

I cut a 2 inch strip of patterned paper and punched it with the same Tag Top punch. then I threaded the dotty ribbon through both ends of the wrap.

The wrap makes for a very special card.

Being Unique

We have a great card from Crafty Debs, Debs has created it by making two 6 x 6 cards and trimming and attaching them together.

Crafty Debs has used the Clear Magic Dotty Flower stamp designed by Jane Gill. Debs has stamped on the 6 x 6 Perfect Prints pad Standstorm. The Silhouette Butterflies have been punched in the patterned paper and from green card and layered together. Debs has decorated the body of the butterflies with Citron Elements.

The words inside come from  You Are some great word stamps from the Francoise Collection. Can you see the slit that Debs has made to hold the card closed? Very clever!

You will find more photographs over on Crafty Debs blog so pop over for more of how she has created the card.
