With Sympathy

 Hello again!

I am sharing another card today, this time using products from Pixi Dust Designs. I don't usually make Sympathy Cards as I find it hard to get out the right balance of sympathy, respect and dignity, but this card I think fills all the requirements.

I started with a black base, then added the Damask background die in white. Then using the Daffodil Die Set I cut out the sentiment in black. The flower I cut out in white and colored with my copics. So elegant and easy to make. Of course you can use the daffodil die set for many other occasions by swapping out the sentiment. 

Let me know what you think and if you make sympathy cards. Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Cake

 

PINK AND CHOCOLATE GIFT CARD HOLDER

 

Hello everyone, today I want to share with you how I made this fun chocolate cake gift card holder card using all Products from Emily Moore Designs.

 

                                                                        

PRODUCTS USED

Make a cake gift card holder die

Happy Birthday Short and Sweet die

Shaker Frame Die Doily

Liquid glue

Foam tape

Sprinkles

Cardstock of your choice

Glitter or glitter glue

 

First I started by die cutting what I needed. Starting with a card base of 4 ¼ x 5 ½,  I put the die with a bit off the paper so it would leave me the fold for the card.

           

                                                               

 

Next, I die cut two of the cake layers in chocolate, two of the top frosting in pink, I also cut the cake layers in pink just to use the frosting part as you can see, I need 6 of these. I cut the sentiment and the sentiment shadow in coordinating colors. Also, the frosting dollops and one doily.

 

 

Then I proceeded to glue the cake layers to the outside and inside of the card. Careful on the inside not to put glue on the tabs for the gift card. (learned the hard way haha).

 

                                     

 

Followed by the frosting layers. Two fit in the die perfectly, the third I placed on the top.

I then added the frosting on top of the layers on both the inside of the card and the card front. You can see it all coming together now!

                                             

 

After gluing the sentiment to the sentiment shadow, I adhered it to the inside of the card on the left, thus leaving the right side for a gift card.

 

 

                                    

 Using foam tape, I put some on the dollops of frosting and I used liquid glue for the frosting border. I then applied all of these to the front of the card.

   

                                                              

                                                      

Next, I took the doily I had die cut and cut both ends off at ¾ of an inch. I am using this to add some extra icing to the cake top.

 

         

                                                  I then glued it to the top of the cake on the front to look like two big dollops of frosting. From there I proceeded to add some sprinkles for that fun birthday affect! I went ahead and added some glitter glue too. You could skip this part or add some glitter, whatever makes you smile!

 

 

                                          

 

I hope this inspires you to go out and create something fun!

Overthinking

 Hello Everyone,

Today I am sharing a super fun card I made using the newly released Wild and Free Stamp and Die set from The Rabbit Hole Designs. 

I have also used several other items such as this awesome bird from the Squawk Talk Stamp set, the sentiment is from the Sassy Sentiment Guy Stuff, and the clouds I made using the Clouds in my Coffee  Stencil. I hand drew the tree trunk. 

I colored the images with copic markers and used distress inks for the stenciled clouds. You can check out all these products here:

Birthday Trellis

Hello Everyone,

Today I am sharing this fun and fabulous card I made using the Pixi Dust Elegant Trellis Background Die.  I also used the Classic Sentiments die and the You're a Cute Tea Paper. 

I used a 5.5 x 4.25 card base, added a piece of paper from the You're a cute Tea paper for the background. Then I cut the trellis background from a piece of cardstock. I added some sprinkles and popped the trellis with foam tape on top. 

Finally I added the sentiment. Easy peasy! 

                            

I am entering this in the following challenge:

Pocket Die

 Good Morning,

I am sharing today this fun card I made using the Filigree Pocket Die from Pixi Dust Designs. I made this the focal point of my card. I also used paper from the You're A Cute Tea paper pack. The sentiment I chose is from the Classic Sentiment Dies. This was such a simple card to create and obviously you could change out the sentiment for any occasion. And since it is a pocket die you could put a gift card in the pocket also! 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

I colored these stamps with copics and then die cut them out. I popped them up using foam tape along with the sentiment too. You can see how I used the Diamond District layering dies to form borders.
