A Thank You Card For A Knitter Or Crafter



Today I am showing you a card I made for the challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. I have some friends that love crafting as well so I am sure I can give this to one of them at some point.

I die cut balls of yarn in the colours that you need to use. I don't know who the designer is of this one because it was gifted to me. I added little white bands around the yarn and placed a small metallic heart in the middle of the band. I stamped a sentiment in black of Gina K Designs and die cut that out for the finishing touch. I did pop up the sentiment and some of the yarn balls on some foam tape.

Autumn Sunflower Card

 

Today I am showing you a card that I made from inspiration of Tina Smith of Cards And Coffee Time. She made this beautiful card and I did my own version of it using her tutorial over at the Youtube channel she has.

I took a white base card and added a light blue panel on it. On the panel I added 6 wood planks that I inked up here and there using some brown ink. I then took the dainty sunflower of Simon Says Stamp and cut 6 sunflowers so I used 2 layers per flower. I inked them in yellow tones using Distress Oxide Ink. I used brown ink for the centers. I die cut some leaves from one of the Into The Blooms sets of Papertrey Ink. I popped everything on foam tape and for the finishing touch I added some sequins and a Dutch sentiment which says Congratulations if translated to English.

I will be adding this to the following challenge:

Gingerbread Plane Christmas Card

 

Today I am showing you another card made with the Candy Christmas Collection of Spellbinders. I really like this collection a lot as it's so cute and whimsical.

This is the Gingerbread Plane & Banners Etched die set. I added several clouds on some blue cardstock. The gingerbread plane has pink and red icing on it. I choose for the Happy Holidays banner to add behind the plane. A really quick and fun card to make and a joy to give to someone later this year.

Gingerbread House Christmas Card



Today I am showing you a card that I saw on the Spellbinders website.

I like the color combo so much that I just had to recreate that. Mine is a bit different ofcourse. So the dies are from the Candy Christmas by Stamperia collections of Spellbinders. This is the Gingerbread House Etched Dies. The banner is from the Gingerbread Plane & Banners Etched Dies set. 

I like this collection so much that I made more cards that I will show later on

Till next time
