Fun with Metal Embellishments

 Hello Everyone:  Today I have a very different and interesting card made with metal embellishments.  Love it!

I apologize that I don't know the author of this card.  It was in the Creative Impressions "vault" when it was discovered and we just loved it for its creativity.

Three metal tags ( 1 1/2" 84591) were used for this card.  They were run through an embossing folder which really gave them some depth and interest.  Some Small felt Heritage Blossoms (62002)                 were added to the tag as well as Creative Impressions Felt Leaf (62002).  They were then set aside.  

The card was so easy to finish as all that was left to do was run a piece of beautiful 1 1/2" Crepe Ribbon (70168 Olive)  across the front of a folded A2 card.  Then a length of our Twill Expressions Ribbon (80435 Live Long, Laugh Often and Love Much) was adhered over the top of the ribbon.  All that was left to do was adhere the previously embossed tags onto the card slightly over the ribbon and above the printed words.  So clever!

Hope  you have enjoyed this card!

Lovely Fall Thank You!

 Hello Everyone:

Here is a simple and lovely Fall thank you that I would like to share with you.

A beautiful panel was created by using a rust color panel and embossing it with an embossing folder.  Then silver ink was lightly pressed along the top of the embossed panel.

Our Thank You Twill Expressions  (804690) was adhered towards the bottom of the panel and three different flowers were created using our Small Heritage Felt Blooms and Leaves (62002) and a Medium Heritage Blossom (62102).   Mini rounds in several different colors (Heritage 90191) were used to create the flowers as well as to attach them to the panel with the prongs at the back.

One last thing - The large word "Thanks" (Creative Impressions Y227 Thank you Innies and Outies) set was stamped and added to the top of the card.  It was adhered to a slightly larger dark brown mat and then to the top portion of the card.  That's it!  Easy and beautiful!  Adhered to a folded card and you're done!

Happy crafting

Bee Joyful!

 Hello Everyone:  Here is a very clever Bee card that I want to share with you today.  I wish I could give credit to the cardmaker, but unfortunately her/his name is not included on the back:

It is quite difficult to see in the photo, however, the creator of this card used a piece of yellow/gold glitter paper on top of a navy blue cardstock mat.  Some of our 2" Yellow Web Ribbon ( 70182) was also placed in three different areas.  Strips of our Cork Paper (89000) were then adhered over the top of the glitter paper, leaving a slight gap between the strips.  What a fabulous way to use up leftover pieces of cork paper!  Nothing goes to waste!  

Our Printed Bee Ribbon (70443) was adhered in several places over th cork and wrapped around to the back of the panel.  Then pieces of our Black Leafy Vine (70223) were added to the composition.  All that was left to do was to add Black and Yellow Felt Blossoms in different sizes (62003, 62103 and 62002) that were attached together using our Tropical Mini Rounds (90194).  The sentiment "Bee Joyful" was stamped with black into onto a scrap of yellow cardstock, trimmed and adhered to a black mat.  The sentiment (E165) was adhered towards the top of the card and "voila", you have a unique and interesting card.

Now it's your turn!

Happy crafting!

On Your Wedding Day!

 Hello Everyone:  Today I would like to share with you a wedding card created by "Yours Truly":

I know quite a few people getting married and wanted to create a sweet card to celebrate their day.

I began by stamping the horse, coach and sentiment on scrap white cardstock.  This set is Number YCC221 Wedding Carriage Silhouette.  I used navy blue ink for the carriage and sentiment and brown for the horse.  These images were then all cut out and set aside.  

I used a piece of patterned paper for the background and adhered it to a darker green cardstock panel.  I then punched a strip of light paper with a border punch  and adhered it towards to bottom of the panel.  I used our fun Grid Ribbon (70278 Green Apple) and wrapped it over the decorative strip and to the back of the panel.  Two Medium Pastel Heart Brads (90394) were then added to either far side of the ribbon.

To finish the card, all that was left to do was add three Yellow Pastel Mini Hearts (90395) to the axle of the carriage wheels and one for the dot on the word "Wedding".  This added a lot of interest to the pieces.  The sentiment and carriage were attached to the card panel with foam dots and a blue 1/8" Organdy (70604) bow was adhered to the neck of the horse. To finish, the entire panel was adhered to a white folded card. 

Done!  You have to admit that this card was pretty easy to put together and results in a darling card for any couple.  Now it's your turn!

Happy crafting!
