Scrappy Strips Card

I had fun today using up some CardStock by making Bruno Bertucci’s Scrappy Strips card.
I used the Budding Blooms Bundle for the stamped image and sentiment. I coloured the flowers in with the Blends Pens.

First you cut different coloured Cardstock into diagonal strips.

It is important to vary the angle. You trim along the 5 7/8 inch edge. About 4 of each colour.

I used Petal Pink, Grapefruit Grove, Soft Sea Foam ad Sahara Sand.

I then adhered them to a black rectangle of Cardstock measuring 5 7/8 x 4 1/8 inches and trimmed it to the size that I wanted for my card front.

Here you can see the back and the front.

Hold on to Hope Cards

 Hold On To Hope is a quick and easy stamp set to make cards for men. So I decided to make some for people at our church. The Sea gulls are from the Beautiful Friendship stamp set.

The second card used more subtle colours - Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam.

Another portrait version.

Dino Days Bundle

Today I made a Pop Up Card for my Grandson’s first birthday next week. I used the Dino Days Bundle and matching Designer Series Paper. It was really fun to make.

I made these cards a while ago but I thought  that I would include them. Pretty Peacock is the card base colour with a hint of Mango Melody.

Here is the inside of the card. It can also be used as a Gift Card Holder. I cased the idea from the internet.

Here is a simple card in Flirty Flamingo which would be good for a girl.

Honey Bee

The Honey Bee Bundle was one of the first products that I bought from the Spring/Summer Catalogue when it was released. It is very useful for square cards. I love the cute little bee as it is so beautifully drawn.

I stamped the hive on to gold Cardstock using Stazon Black Ink. The sentiment dies are from the Stitched So Sweetly set.

Another cased card that uses the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch with Daffodil Delight Cardstock.

This is a Simple lay out design which I used as a starter in the last blog post.

I used the Stamparatus for the last card. Terry Pocock has an excellent video on how to make this card. she has also done one on how to make a Medallion Template.
