I’m so excited to be sharing with you my first project
as Richard Garay's Make Amazing Girl! This has been such a wonderful experience so far and
it’s just the beginning.
Today I’m sharing a super fun Summery card using
Richard Garay’s Celebra’tions Collection. Soon as I saw this
polka dot orange paper in the Celebra’tions Prints Package I had to use it! I have used the
Stamp and Die Set ‘SunnyDays.’
After all, what goes better with orange polka dot paper better than a sun
shine, right?
I’ve also used the Pierced Circles Dies for the white
and orange circles. My favorite part about these dies is that you can choose
whether or not you want to add the piercings. Notice the texture on the white
circle behind my sentiment. I have used the ‘Create a Cone’ die set to emboss
my circle with a waffle cone texture.
I use A LOT of foam dots! I love texture and dimension
on my cards so every layer is on a foam dot!
Even the cloud that sits on the sun is on a foam dot.
I have used some Journey Sparkle Dust on the inner part of my orange circle. A
few other embellishments are Journey Twine, Buttons, Sequins and TangerineFusion Gingham Ribbon.
Which brings me to one of my favorite techniques.
Ribbon
pleating. Here’s a super easy way to pleat ribbon.
First, you will need Ribbon, Scissors and JourneyWhite Liner tape.
Then you will place a strip of the White Liner Tape
across the ribbon.
Next, make little loops pinching the ribbon. You don’t
want to the ribbon too tight unless you want tight looking pleats. Then trim
off ribbon stands..and attach to your project!
Well I hope you enjoyed my project and mini tutorial.
Have a
wonderful day!
