Just for You (Men)

Hello again.  Wow I am doing so well in keeping up with posting, long may it continue.  I thought I would make another card suitable for the men in our lives because I always find it so difficult.

I took a 6" x 6" card and matted it with Creative Expressions Foundation Card (Cobalt) and a white pierced edged card.  I then took some more Cobalt coloured card and centred the large cutting die from the Sue Wilson California Collection - San Fransisco die and ran it though the Grand Calibur.

I then embossed this card with the Die'Sire Picnic Plaid embossing folding. The card was then foam mounted onto the base card.  I cut the largest decorative die from the same die set in Cobalt coloured card and recessed into the aperture created on the embossed card using spray glue.

 

I then cut the smallest decorative die in white and attached as shown.

I stamped the sentiment onto to some more white card and cut it out with the smallest die and before removing it from the die inked it with some Stormy Sky Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

 

I cut some corners using the Spellbinders Parisian Accents and completed the card by adding some black pearls

I hope you like it.  Thanks for visiting.

On your special day

 

 

Hello again.  Well the weather is still not good in fact we are getting snow at the moment.  Once again a good excuse for card making.

 

This offering could be given not only for birthdays but for a wedding or engagement card.

 

I started by matting a piece of Creative Expressions Milk Foundation card and piercing an edge around all four sides before attaching it to a 7" x 7" card.  I then cut out nine squares from the Sue Wilson Configuration Corner Squares die in the same milk card.

 

I cut a piece of Creative Expressions Blush Foundation card to fit inside the pierced edge of the milk card and attached a piece of sticky adhesive sheet to it.  I then added the squares to the sticky blush card, as shown, before sprinkling Cosmic Shimmer Diamond Sprinkles all over and then added to the card with mounting foam.

 

 

The outer die of the Sue Wilson Frames & Tags Heraldic Square die was cut in blush card and the inner die cut in milk card. I glued the milk card to the blush card using spray glue and added it to the card with mounting foam.

 

 

I then cut the sentiment from the Sue Wilson Expressions die, Special Day four times, 3 in white card and the final one in blush card.  These were stacked one on top of each other, with the blush card on top, using spray glue.  These were added to the  fall away piece from the centre of the same die before adding it, again with mounting foam, to the main card.

 

I finished off with some pearls.

 

I hope you like my offering.  Thank you for visiting.
