Just a Note

Hi crafty friends! Michelle Woerner here with a floral mini slimline card. To get started, I looked at some color combinations for inspiration and was so excited to see an almost exact match for my color combo I chose and the Lagoon 6x6 cardstock pad!

Just look at the gorgeous colors in the Lagoon paper pad! I used the Nordic Flower Bunch die set and cut flowers from each of the papers I pulled. As I was playing around with flowers and colors, I decided to go outside the box and make my branches and leaves in a blush color!

I usually go traditional and use the green for the leaves and blush for flowers, but this is unexpected and I love it!

I hope I've inspired you to take a chance with your colors! It's only paper, give it a try. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Joy To The World

Hello, Poppystamps friends! I am excited to be back on the blog today sharing this slimline card featuring the Nordic Layered Ornament set. This is a fairly clean and simple card, although I did do quite a bit of die cutting since I cut each individual piece of the ornaments out of a different color of card stock. I think it was so worth it!

As I mentioned above, each layer of each ornament was cut from a different color of card stock. I chose two tones of card stock for each ornament, and then I chose a pastel glitter card stock for the top layer. For the green ornament, I didn't really find a good pastel for the glitter layer, so I just took a piece of white glitter card stock and colored it with a pale green alcohol marker! I cut the ornament toppers out of silver card stock. I glued all of the ornament layers together and then I glued them onto a white card panel that measures 8.5" x 3.5". The overall card, including the black card base, is 9" x 4".

I cut the bows and strings from the Little Bow and String set using black glossy card stock. I LOVE this set so much! You can see that I changed the way I did the bows on the top three ornaments versus the way I did them for the bottom two. I obviously picked rainbow colors for my ornaments, but I arranged them with the warm colors on top and the cool colors on the bottom.

The sentiment comes from the Holiday Banners stamp set, which includes matching dies. I white heat embossed the sentiment on black paper. And that's it for my card today! I absolutely love how it came out, and I hope it brings a smile to your face. Thanks so much for joining us today.

Wish We Were Together

Hello there! I am sharing a slimline card using the Whittle Racing Giraffe Kit! There are many ways that you can color your die cuts and today, I used a combination of ink blending and alcohol markers with my colored cardstock to create this card. I pulled some scraps from my scrap pile and used my scraps to create this card. I typically cut more than I need as I am adding details, I may make changes. Worst case, I have few extras for the next card.

I die cut a white card panel 3 3/4 inches by 8 1/4 inches. I ink blended the sky and grass onto the card panel. I created my dirt road with some kraft cardstock and added some ink blending to the edges. I adhered this directly to the card panel. I then started building my scene to figure out how many giraffe's, trees, cars and clouds I could use. Next I determined where I would stamp my sentiment.

I typically don't have a plan until I can start placing my die cuts around and start to see the scene come together. I love to have my images go beyond the panel like the second giraffe with this head going above the card, having the cloud and tree extend beyond the sides. For mailing, I would use a large envelope and will add a piece of cardstock to the envelope slightly larger than my card to help provide support to the inside of the card. I used a combination of ink blending to each of the die cuts and then added more details to the giraffes with my alcohol markers and adding little bits of extra card stock behind the mouths of each one with darker cardstock.
