Wintery Reflection




Hi there everyone today I am posting a card that I taught at our Close To My Heart Consultant Team Meeting this month.  This card was done using the "Reflection" technique.

The card is an A2 size card (4-1/4 X 5-1/2) and is used as a top fold.

  1.  Emboss the front of your card with embossing folder of your choice (holly leaves and berries or snowflakes are great choices.

  2. Cut an oval at 3" (page 42) and the decorative layer oval at 3-3/4" (page 52).  (The ones used on this card were cut on the Cricut using the CTMH cartridge Art Philosophy).

  3. Using light blue ink (CTMH - Glacier used here) sponge over the oval lightly.

  4. Using either a pigment ink or Stazon  ink stamp your image on oval and then ink stamp again and stamp on a piece of transparency.  Flip the transparency over so it is upside down (the "reflection") and position on your oval and gently rub over the transparency transferring the image to the oval.  (CTMH stamp set used Captured Moments). See tutorial here

  5. Attach the oval to the card front and then using pop dots to attach the decorative oval over the stamped oval.

  6.   Punch a scalloped oval from black cardstock and a coordinating oval from white cardstock (Stampin Up punches used here).  Attach the oval to the scallop oval.  Stamp with "Merry Christmas" or other sentiment on white oval (CTMH stamp set "Holiday Tags" used here).

  7.   Cut a set of Holly leaves at 1-1/4" from green cardstock using the CTMH Cricut cartridge Artistry.  Shape a little and attach to the scalloped oval.  Add 3 little  red sparkles for berries.

  8.  Create a card stand / easel using Elizabeth Craft Designs die see the tutorial here

Good Morning Everyone!  Sorry it has been so long since I have posted but I have been busy getting ready to go to Creative Keepsake Convention and then going to convention. I had a great time taking classes, shopping, eating and enjoying great friends. My post today is using one of Susan's Garden new dies and one of Karen Burniston's pop up dies.  It was hard to get a good clear picture because of the shine from the glitter. Card base is an A2 size card (4-1/4 X 5-1/2) 1.  Panel is made by using Karen Burniston's accordion rectangle die.  Attach a piece of sticker paper  4-1/2 X 5-3/4 to a pc of white cardstock the same size using clear double sided adhesive. Cut 1 frame from this.  Cut the rectangle and tabs from center of frame and the long tab on the left edge of the frame. Run this frame through Sizzix machine using Hearts Entwined embossing folder (or other embossing folder of your choice)  Peel the paper from the front of the frame ( protective paper covering adhesive

Family Birthday Cards

Welcome my crafty friends! Today I have a couple birthday cards I did for our grandson and my hubby.  Our grandson and hubby share their birthday - grandson was best birthday gift ever. Our grandson turned 18 and he loves to fish he has a boat and fishes when he is not working.  Hubby turned 79 and loves his John Deere tractor.   Cards are both 6" X 6" and I used a combination of dies and Cricut to make my cards. The pop up mechanism was same for both it was an old die set of Karen Burniston when she was with Elizabeth Craft Designs - Bathtub Pop Up.  Another time I would reshape the bathtub into a boat but I had already hand cut the boat then went looking for a die set that had a pop up mechanism to use kind of like putting the cart before the horse. KB Riley  1003  Word 2 Birthday, 1031 Numbers and 1049 Camping Charms  were used.  The fisherman, fish and the silhouette of boat and fisherman were cut on Cricut.  Hooked On Fishing was  cut from a top strip of design paper fro

  Hello my crafty friends! Another Breast Cancer Survivor card that I created in October.  Once again I used Spellbinders Susan's Garden Sunflower, Acacia and Berry Branch and for this card Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace Lisette Oval Shadowbox Frame die set. My card base is 5" X 7" made from 100# white cardstock.  Embossed layer is 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" white cardstock.  I used a swiss dot embossing folder (it is an old 8-1/2" X 11" embossing folder - I have used it so much it is taped together now).  This piece was attached to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive .  Using the Lisette Oval Shadowbox Frame 2  largest dies I cut 1 from pink cardstock adhered to card front using Bearly Art Glue.   I printed sentiment on white cardstock then die cut using the next 2 dies from Lisette die set then attached to card front using dimensional tape. Susan's Garden Sunflower S4-1177 from Garden Favorites Release was cut from Susan's Specialty
