An Encouragement Card

Today I am showing you a card that I saw from a lady called Stercreaties. She makes the most beautiful cards and I love her style. I needed another card for encouragement and I made this in her style. I had a few different things but that's ok. It's not meant to be an exact copy ofcourse

I don't know any of the brands of the items I used. I buy a lot second hand and I don't always know what the designer is because of that. I printed the blue panel as I didn't have that color blue in any cardstock. I added a layer of clouds that I made using a cloud border die. I cut some stars and clouds from various sets of dies. I popped the triangle parts of the kite onto some foam squares to give it some more dimension. The sentiment is home made and printed myself

An X MAS Card

Today I am showing you this card made by attaching the letters together and it spells XMAS.

I got the idea when I saw a baby card. The letters are from a stencil of Dutch Dobadoo and I don't have them. You trace the letters and then cut them out. Unfortunately my eyesight is bad so it is hard for me to properly cut out things so I try to avoid that. Then I remember I got really big letter and number dies from my husband as a Christmas present and I cut out the four letters and shadows using the die cut machine. I then attached a paper strip on top of the letters and below on the letters and scored lines in between the letters to fold them in a zigzag so you can fold them to fit into an envelop.

I used some digital papers from Nitwit Collections for the letters. The mice, the clothes and the christmas decorations are all from Marianne Design. I don't know the brand for the number banners I used

I will be adding this to the following challenge:

A Get Well Card

 

Today I am showing you a card that I saw on the Papertrey Ink blog. So this is not my idea but I like it a lot. 

The flower dies set is from Papertrey Ink Into The Blooms: Cute As A Button. It is a nice set that can be used in many different ways. I don't remember who the designer is of the background panel. The sentiment I made myself and it says For A Speedy Recovery so I made it into a get well card

I will be adding this card to the following challenge

An Encouragement Tag

Today I am showing you a tag instead of a card. A dear friend recently got some really bad news about her health so I bought flowers and made this tag to go along with it.

The pattern paper is from Nitwit Collection. The tulips are from Lawn Fawn Terrific Tulips. I added some ink in darker colors then the colors of the cardstock so it looks like it has a bit of shade. I also drew some lines with a white gelpen. I tied the bouquet together with some white lace crochet yarn. The sentiment is made by myself.

Stair Step Retirement Card

Today I am showing you a card made on request for a friend. Her husband is finally retiring from his job and they love to spend time on the camping so I made this stair step card with the caravan for her.

It has been a while since I made this so whatever I can remember using I will note right here. The caravan die is from Marianne Design COL1531 Caravan by Marleen. The patterned papers for the curtains of the caravan are from Nitwit Collection. The large trees are My Favorite Things Two Trees Dienamics. The little flowers are also from Marianne Design but I don't remember the item number.
The bottom sentiment is made from Marianne Design CR1594 Punch Die Alphabet. The upper sentiment is homemade. A nice spring themed retirement card. I am sure she has given it to him by now so now I can show everyone else.
