I Heard You Were Amazing

Layered Background Christmas card

I cut the sentiment and background with my the Cricut. The word holiday is a die from Scrapbooking Made Simple.

I used a 6x6 piece of patterned paper 4” on one side and 2” on the other card. I also used the orange-ish scalloped ribbon from Stampin Up. The white zig zag is a border die by Spellbinders. I used an old Sizzix chunky die on the right and a Scrapbooking Made Simple die on the left.

Best Wishes stenciling technique

I used a Momenta stencil and a Scrapbooking Made Simple leaf stencil with Distress Oxide inks. I inked the stencils in the normal way. Then I sprayed the leftover ink on the stencil with water and squished it over the top. 
I reused a floral image, except I added Perfect Pearls on the pedals. I found the sentiment in Cricut Design Space, and instead of cutting it out, I used my markers to write it out. Then I punched it out with a circle punch.

Thanks for looking.

Floral Friday Just for You card

Floral Friday Paper Pieced Sunflower Sympathy Card

The sunflower background die is from Scrapbooking Made Simple. I used a host of old patterned papers by Provo Craft to paper piece the petals back into the die. The center of the flower is brown flock by Inkadinkado. 

Then, sigh, I matted the flower die panel onto another piece of patterned paper from that same paper pad. Well…it was crooked and for some reason I thought that I could straighten it out making the same marginal frame around the edges using pinking shears. It didn’t. SMH! I decided to make the whole thing look uneven by trimming the edges in different areas and ways. I made it look like it was supposed to be distressed.

The card base is from Current. I inked the edges so it wouldn’t stick out and compete with the white sentiment label. The sentiment is by Stampendous and it’s cut out with a Spellbinders die.

Thanks for looking. HAGD!
