The Fourth in the Series!

Today we are featuring the last of the four cards that we were lucky to receive from our Guest Designer, Jan Francis!  She has done a fabulous job with all of the 3 cards to date and the fourth does not disappoint!  Here it is:




This card has lots of glitz and glam!  All of the flowers were die cut from metallic cardstock to which she added our Metallic 3D Squares 90415 and Triangles 90660 brads.  So clever!  The flowers were affixed over some leaves cut from Glitter cardstock.

Before adhering the flowers, Jan wrapped our black 1/4" Grid Ribbon #70276 around the top of the card twice.  This gave some lovely texture to the card.

Finally, a die cut "Hello" was added to the bottom of the card.  Here are some close-ups of the card:





Thank you to Jan for sharing these lovely cards with us!  We hope to see more of her creative work in the future!

The Third of Four

You may all be asking - what in the heck does the "Third of Four" Mean?  Well, I am happy to share with you the 3rd card of the 4 total that our guest designer extraordinaire, Jan Francis has created!  Here it is:



This card absolutely "oozes" creativity!  The tag is cut from patterned paper and then from a piece of acetate packaging run through a dot pattern embossing folder to give it extra detail and dimension!  She adhered the tag over one of our beautiful Crepe Ribbons (Coral Peach 70124) previously adhered to the card front.  Then she made a lovely bow and attached it to the tag!  Beautiful!

The flowers and leaves were also die cut from patterned paper and embossed acetate.   Jan then used our fabulous buttons (#51012 Moss, 51004 Burgundy and 51017 Aqua)and sewed them to the centers of the flowers.

Finally, she die cut the word "Welcome" and  adhered it to the front of the tag!

Here are some close ups of Jan's card:






Thanks goes out to Jan again for sharing her wonderful card creations with us
