A Grateful Heart

Hello everyone! I am back with another card. This card follows the challenge inspiration from The Shabby Tea Room.

You are asked to create a card or project inspired by the photo USING PINK, GREEN, WHITE AND LACE!

I have created a z-fold card for this challenge. I have made this card type before and really enjoy making it. Lots of spaces to consider, so I will have lots of photos today! I started by selecting may papers. I decided to use Charlotte's Dream as it has lots of soft muted tones.

Here is a view of the front of the card....

the back....

It also has a slider to write your sentiment and message.

For the front, I stamped and decorated using Stampin' Write markers and layered using Spellbinders dies. I added some flowers, on of which was a lace rose. To add dimension, I added foam tape to each layer.

The middle panel has a lovely die cut heart doily. I printed a lovely tag from Digital Paper Janet Etsy.

The back panel also has a slider section. Here are some close ups....

Supplies:

Paper: Kaisercraft Charlottes Dream and 6 1/2" paper pad, Stampin' Up! cardstock

Stamp: JustRite Stampers Vintage Rose Medallions

Ink: StazOn jet black, Stampin' Up! markers

Z Fold Card

Hello everyone. Today I am sharing with you a z fold card that I created for the JustRite Stampers latest challenge. For this challenge you are asked to create a card with "More Than One Fold".

I have seen a few versions of the z fold card, and this was a design that I prefered. To create this card I followed a tutorial posted on Sweet Designs by Cheryl. She has some written instructions and a video tutorial to follow.

The instructions are very clear. My only advice is to use repositional tape as you cut each of your patterned papers and cardstock for layering as you can easily make a mistake! I applied repositional tape and placed each piece in the correct position as I went. I was going to apply a strong adhesive but decided against it until my layout was complete for each section.

Here are some close ups of each of the panels...

Front panel....

Inside panels....

The back panel.....

There is a insert to the back panel for a special message. I stuck a flower a flower at the top of this to act as a type of tab/pull.

Supplies:

Stamps: JustRite Stampers Vintage Labels and Friendship Blooms

Ink: Distressed ink walnut stain and old paper

Paper: Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden, Stampin' Up! cardstock, DCWV neutral stack

Other: Spellbinders Nestabilities classic ovals large, floral ovals, classic squares small, scalloped squares small and labels six, Spellbinders Shapeabilities butterflies,  Die-namics fancy flourish and leafy flourish, Martha Stewart branch punch, Kaisercraft Madame Boutique die cut and paper blooms, Hooked on Craft flowers, Ruby Rock-It floral, paper doily, seam binding, liquid pearls bisque

Merci Beaucoup!

Hello everyone! Today the weather is amazing, which has motivated me to become more active. Whilst creating this card, I have also been popping outside to my backyard soaking up the sun while I can. The card I am sharing with you is for the JustRite Friday Challenge #076 - "Stars & Stripes".  For this challenge, it's all about "Stars & Stripes" - create a project with stripes and use at least one star! 

For each challenge I complete, I try to do something a little different so as to add to my skill base. I wanted to make a z-fold card.

For my star, I wanted it to be dimensional. I punched three stars, folded them in half and attached a glue dot to adhere them together and also to my stamped label.

I used a sentiment from the stamp set, added foam tape to add dimension as well as some pearls to complete the card.

Supplies:

Paper: Kaisercraft Magnolia Grove 6 1/2" paper pad, Stampin' Up! cardstock

Stamps: JustRite Stampers Fleur de Lis labels Twenty

Ink: Stampin' Up! Cherry Cobbler

Other: Spellbinders nestabilities labels twenty, JustRite nested frame die, Kaisercraft pearls, seam binding, star punch.

Thanks for stopping by!
