Gray and Kraft Scrambled Blocks

Gray and Kraft Scrambled Blocks

Several months back, I had fun creating THIS CARD using the scrambled blocks technique and thought I’d make another. I really love how clean and crisp the layout looks with this technique while showcasing beautiful patterned paper. 

For this one, I used a piece of paper from the “Orchid Hill” paper pad by Recollections (no longer available), Kraft, and white.

The greeting was computer generated. I made several more of these cards to have on hand but left the greeting off so I can later add whatever is needed. 

If you are interested in creating a scrambled block card, I have included the measurements I used in my previous post.

Snow Much Love Birthday Card

Snow Much Love Birthday Card

(inside: Sending snow much love! Happy Birthday)

Today is Kelly, Kevin, and Keith’s 25th birthday – Happy Birthday!! (I am feeling a bit old – lol!)

I made these cards for them a few weeks ago when we had back-to-back snow storms (after two years of nothing!), and I was inspired to create a snow themed card! (Creating cute snowmen in the warmth of my craft room was so much more fun than shoveling!!)

This card design features a few different products from Creek Bank Creations. The snowman and the first part of the sentiment is from the Snowmania Stamp and Die Set (S23019). The glitter paper is Snowfall White. The pop-out panel on the inside was made with the mechanism from the Z Fold Accessory Die Set (D23012), and the scalloped and stitched squares were from the Blanket Stitched Panel Die set (D23049). Again, all from Creek Bank Creations.

Here’s a better look at the inside sentiment panel that pops up a bit when the card is opened:

Recollections Navy and white card stock were used along with various scraps from my stash. The Happy Birthday part of the sentiment is from the Dance Life set from Fun Stamper’s Journey (no longer available?). Gina K Designs Blue Denim and Memento Tuxedo Black inks were used for the stamping.

Z Fold cards display nicely and fold flat for mailing.

High Heel Birthday Card

High Heel Birthday Card

I found this Dreaming Tree svg file called High Heel Greeting Card and decided to create it using similar colors as the sample.

The sample had foiled polka dots for the shoe, but since I didn’t have any foiled card stock that would work, I made my own using the Heart Grid Hot Foil Plate from Pinkfresh Studio, gold glimmer foil, black card stock, and the Spellbinders Hot Foil Glimmer System. I also used GKD Peach Bellini, SU Mint Macaron, and white card stock. All of the pieces were cut with my Silhouette die cutting machine. 

The greeting is from the Floral Notes Stamp Set by Pinkfresh Studio and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink. The panel was then embossed with the Subtle EF (SU). The edges of this panel (and the flowers) were inked with GKD Tomato Soup ink.

Since much of the front of the card is “missing” where the shoe was cut, I was careful to keep my written message and signature towards the bottom so it stayed hidden when the card was closed.

This card is 3 1/2″ x 5″ (smaller than an A2 sized card). The file includes a decorative envelope, but I made a simple one using my We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board.

Masculine Lines and Dots

(inside: Hope you have a wonderful day!)

This card features the Hero Arts “Line & Dot Pattern Bold Prints” background stamp (CG797) that I heat embossed in white on Gina K Designs Black Onyx card stock.  Then I added some Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Water Color (No 90 Gold) which resisted the embossing but showed up nicely on the black.

The greeting is from the “Banners” stamp set from Joy! Crafts and was heat embossed in white as well.  The inside sentiment is from the “Happy Birthday to You” stamp set by Scrapbook.com (#sbc-ds19-23).

The water colored panel was mounted on a white mat and then on a black card base.  I was pleasantly surprised at how well this card stock held up with all the water that was added. I did use some extra adhesive to help flatten it out.  (I really should tape my panel down to a board when I water color!)

Platinum Leaf Birthday Card

Platinum Leaf Birthday Card

This card features one of the images from the Tim Holtz “Falling Leaves” set along with stamps from “The Wetlands” (retired?) and “Sentimental Bouquet” both from Gina K Designs. The leaf and mat panel were heat embossed with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder, and the images were stamped with GKD Kraft and Warm Cocoa inks.
