Little Fox Card

This card was quick and easy. I started with a brown A-2 base card. Next I cut a piece of pink DSP 4-7/8" x 3-3/4" and backed it with a piece of metallic blue card stock. I adhered it to the base card. Next I die cut a 3" circle using a piece of blue DSP (same design as pink) and glued it to the top-center of the card. I die cut a 2-1/2" circle out of white and embossed it with a swirl embossing folder. I attached it to the center of the blue DSP circle. I found the cutest acrylic FOX sticker at the JoAnn's (before they went out of business) and thought it would make the perfect focal image for the card...and it was!

The Creative Bee

This week I wanted to play around with my bee stamps and dies. I recently saw a card video showing an easy A-2 card with triangle DSP pieces. I started with a white A-2 size card. I had one sheet of golden bee designer paper, so cut it first into a 3" x 5" shape. Next I cut it in half going from the left bottom point to the right top point. I adhered the triangle pieces to a piece of white 3-3/4" x 5" card stock, backed with a piece of 4" x 5-1/4" piece of black card stock. This was then attached to the base card. The center area (diagonal) of the card is white, so I stamped two sentiments in this space, leaving room at the center for my beehive. I die cut a beehive in heavyweight white card stock, then added alternate black and gold strips on top. I added the beehive to the center using foam tape to raise it off the card. Lastly, I die cut a large golden bee and attached it to the right bottom.

Friendship Tea

I have a friend who loves anything British...especially tea, tea pots, tea sets, etc. This morning I wanted to make her a card with a tea theme and an inspirational quote inside. I just saw a fun card template that is a little different from the norm, so gave it a try. I think it turned out cute. The inspirational quote inside..."You are never to old to set another goal or to dream a new dream". That seemed appropriate since she just had another birthday.

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #688

Today I'm thinking 'green'. I saw the current card sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches and liked the layout.

I started with an A-2 tan base card. I added some leaf designer paper at the top and some darker green (with gold accents) at the bottom. For the focal image I stamped a sentiment in green on white and attached it to the center. Before adding the sentiment, I attached a gold leaf die cut to two of the corners.
