Slimline Card by Jan Francis!

 Hello Everyone from snowy Colorado!  We are so very grateful for the snow which has helped control the fires burning in different parts of our beautiful state!

Have you noticed the latest trend in card making - Slimline cards?  They are all the rage.  We love them here at Creative Impressions and would like to share a lovely card by Jan Francis:

Jan used Distress Ink to blend color into the white background of the card.  She cut some floral images out of patterned paper and adhered them to the background.  This would have been a cute card by itself, however, by adding some Creative Impressions Purple Felt Flowers along with our Yellow Paper Fasteners for the flower center, this card was taken to a new level of pretty!

Finally, Jan added a little "hello" stamped image and layered it to several different color cardstock mats.  Don't you just love the whimsy in this card?  

What would we do without our Paper crafting hobby during these difficult times?  I know I would be going crazy!  Time to pull out your supplies, place an order with Creative Impressions for fabulous embellishments and create!

Happy Trails, y'all!

Anyone down for a little layered ribbon?  Here I've layered Creative Impression's fabulous web ribbon (in NEW colors!!), 1" twill in natural, metallic shimmer ribbon, and Happy Trails message twill.

This is a super simple card.  A few strips of coordinating, multi-textured ribbons, set off with a trio of Antique Copper brads.  The fall leaves pair nicely with mini brads to anchor the ribbons.

 

"Happy Trails" is a fun choice for birthdays, retirement, thinking-of-you, and other occasions that fit the season.

A Trio of Cards

Hello Everyone:  I recently challenged myself along with a friend to create some different cards using Creative Impressions Felt Blossoms,  some of the new Web Ribbon and different colors of twine.  Here are the last of the cards I would like to share with you:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first card features our Navy Thin Twine (80602) and Small and Medium Felt Blossoms along with a Felt Leaf and White Button to finish it off.  I used scraps from the scrap bin on the side edges of the card.  I then wrapped the Navy Twine several times around another scrap piece of patterned paper, placed pop dots on the back of the piece and adhered it to the center of the card.  To finish I added a die cut "Happy Birthday" and the blossom flower.  I had some Perfect Pearls that accented the card nicely. 

 

The next card is a simple yet a darling card.  Once again I went to my trusty scrap bin and found a lovely piece of patterned paper.  I created another flower using our Felt Blossoms,  Felt Leaf , Light Blue Thin Twine and a White Button (51000)  There is a surprise on this blossom.  How about adding a purple Medium Heritage Felt Snowflake (63001) for some extra texture?  Love the way it turned out!  To finish,  adhere the blossom to a piece of dark purple card stock adhered to the patterned paper.  A die cut "Hello" creates a happy sentiment for the card.

Finally, my last card features a brand new color of Web Ribbon in Moss (70198).  I added a piece of this new Web across the middle of a scrap patterned paper piece onto which I had previously punched a pretty border.  I created three felt flowers with our Blossoms and Leaves and small White and Pink buttons for the centers.  I stamped "Thank you" onto a piece of scrap white card stock that was wrapped twice with our Rose Thin Twine.

Hope you enjoyed this Trio of Cards and are inspired to make your own!
