Happy Card Maker

Friday, May 6, 2011

Todays card is from an image that I colored for Easter. Turns out that I had colored to many so I have turned it into an all occassion card;


Here is the card;

I used a Spellbinder die "Labels Small" to cut out the image. I did not have the matching larger die to cut out the mat, so I used the "Ticket Corner" punch to make the mat. The border around the background paper was punched with a "Fiskars Corner,Border punch called Bubbles. The background paper is from "The Angel Company" and is a collection called "Tutti Fruiti". This is a very cute collection of papers.

The sentiment is also from "The Angel Company" and is called "Hoppy Everything" number T-2732.

I added a few rinestones a ribbon and "walla" it was done.

Hope you enjoy todays card. If you have and questions please leave a comment and I'll get back to you.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

It's surprising how much stuff you have, that you put away and forget about. Yesterday I was going through some drawers, when I came across six corner,border punches by Fiskars that I honestly forgot about.

The punch I used on todays card is called "A Tisket,A Tasket Border and Corner Punch" by Fiskars. The limits on these punches is that the paper being punch needs to have even number dimensions i.e. 4.0"X5.0" or 3.0"X 4.0". The really do a nice job on the corners and borders. They are very simple and easy to use.

The card I am posting today was made using one of these punches and the stamp used for the card is from "Just-Rite Stamps".

Here is the card I made.

"Count The Waves"

I used the Fiskars punch mentioned above plus some "Spellbinders" dies. Here is a close-up of the image;

The orange diagonal stripe on the card was cut using the Fiskars punch. A few dots of Gold Stickles was added to the card to give it some bling. The image was colored with Copic Markers.

Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!
