Hello

I've followed Jane's Lead at the AAA Cards Challenge to make another note card for my card box - this one uses lots of tiny snippets of textured card 

To make this card I used:
     C6 white matt card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Fishtail Flags' and Altenew 'Simply Hello' dies
     Snippets of white matt card and Papermania textured card  

I die cut lots of fishtail flags from different colour snippets of textured card using the smallest die.  I attached these to a strip of white card using glue so I had a little 'wriggle room' to line up the strips.  When they had dried I used the largest fishtail flag to cut the edges of the strip.  This panel was then attached to the front of the card blank.  I die cut 'hello' from another snippet of white mat card and attached it to the card using glue for the 'h' and foam pads for the rest of the sentiment so it lay flat across the card.

To a Very Special Husband

I made this card for Steve as it's our wedding anniversary today.  I used more hearts from the John Next Door die set I won last year.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white linen card blank
     John Next Door 'Honesty Heart' dies  
     Clearly Besotted 'Happy Birthday All' stamps
     Versafine Crimson Red ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Snippets of white linen card, red pearlescent card and red mirri card (sorry, I forgot to take a photo of my snippets)

I trimmed a snippet of white linen card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and die cut the stitched heart just above the centre before placing the panel into my MISTI.  I laid the two sentiment stamps onto the panel ensuring they were straight before stamping them with red ink and embossing them with clear embossing powder.  I placed the panel onto a slightly large square of red pearlescent card and placed the stitched heart between the two layers so I could see where to die cut the stitched heart on the backing panel - this was to ensure that the two layers that were to be inlaid would be flat on the front of the card.  I removed the white panel and die cut the stitched heart before layering the two panels and attaching them to the front of the card blank.  I die cut the stitched heart from red mirri and inlaid it into the front of the card, ensuring the edges were flat.  I die cut the fancy heart from red pearlescent card and inlaid in into the front of the card.

Flower Power Birthday

I've not had much crafting time lately as we're in the middle of a flat renovation, but I made some time this afternoon to make this CAS card for a friend's birthday next week.

To make this card I used:
     5.5" x 4.25" white linen card blank
     Uniko 'Flower Power #10' flower and leaf stamps
     Uniko 'Flower Power #2' sentiment stamp
     Uniko 'Flower Power #1- #6' leaf die
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stiched Rectangle STAX Die-namics' die
     Versafine Imperial Purple and Olympia Green ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Copics - V12, Y02, Y08 & YG03
     Wink of Stella
     Snippets of white matt card and white linen card

I stamped the stem and leaves onto a snippet of white matt card using green ink and the flower with purple ink before embossing them with clear embossing powder.  I used the die to cut the leaves and fussy cut the flower before colouring them with Copics.  I die cut a snippet of white linen card with the rectangle die before placing it into my MISTI.  I put the flower and leaves onto the panel so I could position the sentiment stamp.  I removed the flower and stamped the sentiment with green ink before embossing it with clear embossing powder.  The panel was attached to the front of the card blank.  The leaf was attached to the left side of the panel and the flower was attached with a foam pad.  To finish I gave the flower and leaves a Wink of Stella.

More Big Birthday Wishes

I was so pleased when my 'Whimsical Flower Arrangement was voted a Top Cut at the Cut It Up Challenge and I was invited to be Guest Designer on a future challenge.  I chose the 'Use Your Favourite Die/Set' challenge and have my used favourite 'go to' die for making male cards - this one is for a neighbour's milestone birthday.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" kraft card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Big Birthday Wishes', Memory Box 'Classic Numbers' and Xcut 'Nesting Stars' dies
     Snippets of kraft card, red glitter card and cream textured card.

I cut the large sentiment from kraft card and trimmed down each side so it was slightly narrower than the card blank and then attached the panel to the front of the card blank.  I die cut 'BIG' from a snippet of red glitter card and inlaid the letters into the panel.  The rest of the sentiment was die cut from a snippet of cream textured card and inlaid into the panel.  I trimmed two narrow strips of cream textured card and attached them down the side of the panel before trimming the ends.  I die cut two small stars from cream textured card and attached them towards the top of the card using small foam pads.  I die cut a slightly larger star from red glitter card and and '80' from cream textured card.  The numerals were attached to the star which was then attached to the card with a foam pad.

To make this tag I used:
     Creative Expressions ''Pierced Tags', Creative Expressions 'Finishing Touches - French Marigold' and Sizzix 'Floral Hello' dies
     Snippets of white hammer card, white matt card, red glitter card and red ribbon

I die cut the largest tag from a snippet of white hammer card and used my embossing mat to emboss around the edge of the tag.  I die cut three different size flowers and two large leaves from white matt card.  The flowers were layered and attached to the lower edge of the tag with the leaves tucked underneath the flower.  I die cut a small heart from red glitter card and attached it to the centre of the flower.  To finish I attached a red ribbon bow to the top of the tag.

Oldie But Goodie

This is another quick card that I've made for the Cut It Up 'Oldie but Goodie' challenge, using a Memory Box die that I bought back in 2015 and is still one of my favourites.

 To make this card I used:
     C6 white matt card blank
     Memory Box 'Sparkling Tree Tile' and My Favorite Things 'Inside & Our Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics' dies
     Snippets of white matt card, dark patterned paper and gold glitter card

I die cut the snippet of white matt card using the largest rectangle die - as the die wasn't long enough I cut the first half of the die before moving it down the card to cut the second half.  I then die cut the tree from the centre.  I used Artist Tac to attach a snippet of green paper behind the aperture before attaching the panel to the card blank.  I die cut the small tree baubles from snippets gold glittter card and inlaid them into the card.

November Rudolph Day

It's the eleventh Rudolph Day of the year and another die cut Christmas card (die cutting is my RD theme this year).  To make this card I used a Creative Dies die that had been a cover gift with a magazine back in 2016 and is still a favourite of mine.

To make this card I used:
     5" x 5" white linen card blank
     Creative Dies 'Festive Scene' and Spellbinders Nestabilities 'Standard Circles Large' dies
     Snippets of blue pearlescent card, gold mirri card, Marianne Design 'Snow Paper', thin white card and blue paper

I die cut a circle and the Festive Scene from snippets of blue pearlescent card and attached the scene onto the backing circle.  I attached the blue paper onto thin white card (to make it the same thickness as the rest of the card) and then die cut the sky and inlaid this into the scene.  I die cut the snow from 'Snow Paper'  and the windows from gold mirri card.  These pieces were then inlaid into the Festive Scene.  The panel was then attached to the centre of the card blank.

I am entering the following challenges:
     A Cut Above - Anything Goes with a Die Cut
     Allsorts - Anything Goes

Leafy Christmas Tree

I made this card for the current CAS Colours & Sketches 'Colour' challenge using an old Sizzix die and lots of snippets.

To make this card I used:
     C6 white matt card blank
     Sizzix 'Leafy Trees' and My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics' dies
     Snippets of white matt card, green textured card, red and gold pearlescent card

I used the largest rectangle die and a snippet of white card to cut the panel.  As the die wasn't long enough I cut the first half of the rectangle and then moved the die to cut the second half.  I then cut the tree from the centre before attaching the panel to the front of the card blank.  I cut the tree from a snippet of green textured card and inlaid it into the panel.  The tree was cut from snippets of red and gold pearlescent card and the leaves inlaid into the tree.

Bees & Best Wishes

I made this tag to attach to a friend's birthday present as she is a lover of any type of insect.  The honeycomb card has been in my snippets drawer for years, but was perfect for this tag.  I also used a 'new to me' Stampin' Up tag punch that I first saw on Sarn's blog and have recently found at a very reasonable price on Vinted.  

To make this tag I used:
     Stampin' Up ' Scalloped Tag Topper'  punch
     Crafter's Companion 'Sweet Florals' and Uniko 'Simply Said Blocks II' stamps
     Versafine Onyx Black ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Gold Promarker
     Wink of Stella
     Snippets of white matt card, honeycomb card and gold ribbon

I trimmed the edge of the honeycomb card so it was 2" wide and then punched the tag topper.  I trimmed a snippet of white matt card to 2" and punched the tag topper before layering the two so the back of the tag would be flat for me to write my message.  I stamped the bees and sentiment onto more snippets of white card using black ink and embossing them with clear detail embossing powder.  I fussy cut the bees and coloured the bodies with a gold Promarker and added a Wink of Stella to the wings.  The bees and sentiment were then attached them to the tag with foam tape.  To finish I tied a snippet of gold ribbon to the top of the tag.

Snowflake Serenade

I was lucky to win this lovely 'Snowflake Serenade' stamp set in the Uniko 'Christmas in July' challenge and teamed it with my 'Big Bold Wish' stamp and die to make this Christmas card.

To make this card I used:
     7" x 5" white matt card blank
     Uniko 'Snowflake Serenade' stamp
     Uniko 'Big Bold Wish' stamps and coordinating die
     Versafine Majestic Blue and Brilliance Pearlescent Sky Blue inks
     Woodware Snowflake punch
     Snippets of white matt card and silver mirri

I trimmed a piece of white matt card to 6.25" x 4.25" and stamped the large snowflake stamp in pale blue ink.  I stamped 'wish' onto a snippet of white matt card, stamping several times to get a good depth of colour before cutting it with the coordinating die.  I die cut the 'wish' outline from a snippet of silver mirri and layered the two die cuts.  I placed the snowflake panel into my MISTI with 'wish' in the lower corner so I could see where to stamp 'Make a'.  I removed the die cut and stamped the rest of the sentiment in dark blue ink, stamping a couple of times so the letters had the same depth of colour as 'wish'.  I then layered the panel onto silver mirri and attached it to the card front.  I attached 'wish' to the lower corner but didn't think the card looked balanced, so I punched three small snowflakes from another snippet of silver mirri and attached them to the upper corner.

Yet More Big Birthday Wishes

Another male card using my 'go to' die.  I do love this die as it always looks different when made with different colour card, although I must find another large sentiment die soon!

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" kraft card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Big Birthday Wishes' die
     Snippets of kraft card, cream textured card and red glitter card

I trimmed the snippet of kraft card so it was slightly wider than the die and cut the large sentiment from the centre before attaching the panel to the front of the card blank.  I die cut 'BIG' from red glitter card and inlaid the letters into the front of the card.  I die cut the rest of the sentiment from cream textured  card and inlaid them.  To finish I trimmed two narrow strips of cream textured card and attached them down each side of the sentiment panel.

July Rudolph Day

It's time for another Rudolph Day and another die cut card (die cutting is my RD theme for this year.).  I nearly didn't have a die cut card as my old Cuttlebug made a loud 'crack' when I was making the card and the bottom roller broke away at one side.  I managed to find someone about 20 miles from me who was selling one on Facebook Marketplace so back to my die cutting!

To make this card I used:
     5.5" x 4.25 white hammer card blank
     Memory Box 'Merry Christmas Tree' and My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics' dies
     Snippets of dark blue and gold mirri card

I used the largest rectangle die to emboss the front of the card blank and set it aside.  I die cut the 'Merry Christmas Tree' from a snippet of dark blue mirri and snipped the star from the top before attaching it to the card blank.  I then die cut the star from a snippet of gold mirri and attached it to the top of the tree.  Quick and easy and my new Cuttlebug works like a dream which makes me realise my one one was on its last legs!

Snippets Gift Tag

This cross stitch parcel was another piece of holiday stitching and used snippets of perforated paper and threads - perfect for making into a gift tag with more card and paper snippets.

To make this tag I used:
     Creative Expressions 'Pierced Tags' die
     Catkin & Lillie 'Mini Presents' cross stitch chart
     DMC red, green and black threads
     Snippets of white card, Wild Rose Studio 'Painted Poinsettia' paper and perforated paper

I attached the paper to the white card and die cut the middle size tag before embossing around the edge.  After stitching the cross stitch present I used a sharp pair of scissors to trim around the stitching and used strong tape to attach the present to the tag.  To finish, I used more oddments of the same red and green threads to attach to the top of the tag.

May Rudolph Day

 It's time for the fifth Rudolph Day of the year and another die cut Christmas card (die cutting in my RD theme this year).  For this card I've used one of my 'old favourites' which is perfect for making quick CAS Christmas cards.

     Creative Expressions 'Festive Collection - Joy' & My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics' dies
     Snippets of white hammer card, black matt card and cerise mirri card

I die cut a rectangle from white hammer card and then die cut the plain JOY from the centre.  The panel was then attached to the centre of the card blank.  I die cut JOY from black matt card and inlaid the letters into the panel, together with the middle of the O that had been cut from white card.  I then die cut the fancy JOY from cerise mirri card and attached it to the card over the black letters.

Framed Floral Card

This is the first time I've used this lovely Spellbinders die that I won earlier in the year and I can see it becoming one of my favourites.  I've used my new die with some snippets to make a small notecard.

To make this card I used:
     5.5" x 4.25" white matt card blank
     Spellbinders Designer Series 'Framed Floral Card Front' & My Favorite Things 'Fishtail Flags' dies

     Sizzix Framelits 'Floral Hello' stamp
     Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
     Snippets of white matt card and Lili of the Valley 'Antebellum' paper

I used both the floral panel and the frame to cut a snippet of white paper.  After removing all the small pieces from the panel I attached a snippet of turquoise paper behind the panel and attached it to the front of the card blank.  I used brown ink to stamp the sentiment onto another snippet of white card and then cut it with a fishtail flag - moving the die so I could shorten the length of the flag.  The flag was then attached to the top of the card.

     My Favorite Things 'Big Birthday Wishes' die

     Snippets of white hammer card, grey textured card and pink pearlescent card

I trimmed a snippet of white hammer card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and die cut the tree from the centre before attaching it to the front of the card blank.  I die cut the tree from a snippet of pale grey textured card and inlaid the pieces.  I then used a couple of small snippets of pink pearlescent card to die cut the tree again and inlaid the circles into the card.
