Authentique Solitude Card

Posted on January 10, 2019 by Ginger

Hello everyone! Today I want to share a card that I created with the Authentique Solitude Collection. This is a very vintage inspired winter collection.

My card measures 5-1/2×5-1/2 square. I layered one of the design papers onto some ivory cardstock then added another layer of dark grayish green cardstock. I then added this to the frontof my card.

I die cut a doily using a BoBunny Mandala die from the same ivory cardstock. I trimmed out one of the 3×4 cut aparts and layered it onto the same red cardstock as the card base.

I added some flowers from Graphic 45 and Little Birdie crafts to the bottom left corner, along with a bow from some fabulous silk ribbon by May Arts. I had these cute little acorn charms in my stash so I tied them together with some jute string and attached them to the upper left hand corner. I trimmed out the quote from the company branding strip and added it to the bottom of the card front.

I finished off the inside of the card with some more of the design paper.

That’s my card. Have a fabulous week!

Lawn Fawn Easter Treat Bag

Lawn Fawn Easter Treat Bag

Hello everyone! Today I want to share a cute little treat bag that I created with some new Lawn Fawn stamps and dies as well as a few older Lawn Fawn dies. I am a huge fan of Lawn Fawn products. They have cornered the market on cuteness in my opinion. Heres a photo of the treat bag that I created.

I used the Lawn Fawn treat bag die as the base for my project. I also used their new Perfectly Plaid spring design papers to die cut the bag. If you love plaids then this collection pack is a must have! I wanted my treat bag to have a little interaction so I used the Lift the Flap die set and cut a hidden flap on the front of my treat bag.

When the flap is open you will see the little Easter eggs.

There you have it! Have a great week!

Graphic 45 Off to the Races Pop Up Birthday Card

Graphic 45 Off to the Races Pop Up Birthday Card

Hello everyone! Today I want to share a pop up card that I created for my sisters’ birthday. I used the beautiful Graphic 45 Off to the Races Collection for my card and matching envelope.

I used my envelope punch board to create an A6 envelope. I made a belly band closure since my card was a little bulky. I used a punch for the scallop circle and then added one of the banners to the front from the collection. I used paper from the 12×12 patterns and solids for the envelope. Here’s a closeup of the envelope.

My pop up card measures 4×6. I used one of the journal cards for the front image and layered it up with lots of dimensional foam tape. I added some clear Wink if Stella for some sparkle. Some little metal corners were added to the top and a pretty Prima flower along the bottom. I added a small piece of adhesive back crochet trim from May Arts as well.

The magic happens when you open the card to reveal the pop up. I used some of the gorgeous lady portraits for the pop up and die cut my happy birthday sentiment using the Tim Holtz Celebrate framelits.

Here’s another view of the inside.

There you have it! That’s the card I created for my sister. She loved it! Have a great day!
