FLORAL DOILIES WRAP CARD

hello bloggers,

here i am sharing another project using one of miss samantha walker's svg's cutting files. this time i chose this beautiful intricate floral design wrap card.

of course you can use it anyway you want: think invitations, weddings, mother's day, home decor, photo keepsake and so on and on and on.

Floral Card Wrap
-i am using mine as a mother's day card-
6 inches square

i used some k&co double sided paper for this awesome card.

what a beautiful design, huh? it looks great and so feminine and gentle.

i uploaded it to my cricut design space to cut. it took a while because the explore goes a bit slow on intricate cuts but the wait was so worth it.
this floral card wrap is available in different formats to use with different die cutters software.

the pretty flower is a spiral flower from the flower shoppe cricut cart. it was cut at 5 inches and when made is about  1-3/4" in diameter. just something to think about it when sizing them.

below is a collage of the card from different angles.
you can always click on pics to zoom in.

 i love the colors of that k&co cardstock.

next time i am grabbing a few other of these intricate cards i seem to be loving these days.

the card is linked to the digiplayground store in case you want to take a look.

again,
thanks so much for stopping by.
i appreciate your comments and visits and if there are any questions you might have about crafting this beauty, ask away.

have a great week!

IMAGINE TODAY using Color Hills

hello fellow crafters,

hope you are having a great 2014 start.

all i want is some sunshine...enough of snow and ice and rain.

so my "imagine today" card with color hills brought some  of it (sunshine) into my crafty world.

this is my first time using color hills and i am liking the colors and thickness of the cardstock. the designs are superb and the badges (round embellishment) add some flair and are all that and more.

Imagine Today

is a 5.5" x 3.75" card

i told you it was like a ray of sunshine...beautiful paper! :D

the white base is from my stash. it was already a size 5.5" x 4.25"...a standard A2 size. i trimmed some of it to a 3.75" and used it as a tent style card.

the  designer patterned papers are from color hills:  the refresh collection and you can find it here.

i punched the bottom edge of the yellow patterned paper and use a die for the half doilie. the sentiment "imagine" was cut out right from the patterned paper, a simple rectangle.

all edges were inked with powder puff chalk inks.

some jute was added (three strings attached with mini staples) and some foam dot was added to the back of the badge (the badges have a pin to attach but i chose to use foam dots because of where i wanted to use them on my card), and a  bit of distressing on two areas...

and here you have it: an Imagine Today card with a bit of sunshine.

hope you enjoy my card for today using the new "refresh" collection from color hills.

all supplies have been linked for your convenience.

PAPER DOLLS DRESS UP SERIES---episode 9

hello all

welcome again to another episode of the pddu series. today is episode #9 and i was assigned to work with page #65: pioneer girl.

i chose the basket---accesories1 using the shift button.

Sweet

4" round

i used the wild card cart for the base (my fav card shape from this cart) and for the scallop shapes and the circle.

this color combo is one of my favorites. 

that pretty cherry patterned paper is from crate: farmhouse collection. it is from a mini pad (6x6). the sweet sentiment on the tag is from a rub-on and the cherries were cut by hand from a sticker. the basket was cut at 1.75" and all edges were inked for more definition.

that strip of ric rac i found in my ribbon stash and as you can see i paper pierced the circle. the rest of the papers are from a k&co collection, maybe discontinued by now. i can't keep up with the latest collections :P but i find so many pretty papers in my stash. 

now onto my teammate projects.
