Monstera Leaves for Father’s Day

Posted in Cards, Father's Day by lisababitz

(inside:

This card features a few of the leaves from the “Monstera” 3D die set from Altenew and some handmade metallic paper.

I used “Foundry Bronze” Guilder’s Paste Wax on black card stock to create the metallic panel and added a touch of texture to the background and leaf layers with the Stampin’ Up “Subtle” embossing folder.

The greeting die was unbranded, and my “dots” were punched with my Fiskars “Bubbles Border Punch” (retired?). The black and kraft card stock were by Recollections.

Mother’s Day Lemon Blocks

Mother’s Day Lemon Blocks

(inside: sending you lots of love)

This card features paper from American Crafts (# 320492) and a simple layout that allowed the paper to shine! I used “Dark Blue Large Dot” paper from Core’ dinations and Yellow (#99248) from Recollections for the mats

The greeting was computer generated from a digital file by RedGumPrints that I purchased from Etsy. It was printed on Rustic Cream card stock from Papertrey Ink and cut with a 2 inch punch (and 2 1/4 inch punch for the mat – both from EK Tools). The inside sentiment is from the “Nurturing Blooms” set from Gina K Designs (retired).

I used the “6×6 Grid” embossing folder from Pink & Main to add some texture to the background and some gold cord for a bit of shine.

The squares are 2 inches with 2 1/4 inch mats, centered on a 5 1/2 inch square card. My “Straight and Steady Corner Tool” set from Creek Bank Creations made it easy to line everything up!

Split Diagonal Easter Card

(inside: Wishing you an egg-cellent Easter filled with joy)

This card features “Watercolor Stripe” paper from The Paper Studio, the “Happy Easter” greeting from Purple Daisy Design, and a cute Easter die I found on Amazon.

Recollections Navy and White and Gina K Designs Powder Blue card stock was also used. The inside greeting was computer generated.

This layout was inspired by Lisa Curcio’s video, but my measurements are different. I actually used one of my Mosaic Moments scrapbooking dies from the “30 Degrees” set (not available at this time?) to cut my patterned paper piece, but I included (my) measurements below to cut without the die if interested….

Holographic Hearts Valentine’s Day Card

Holographic Hearts Valentine’s Day Card

(Inside: have a happy day!)

Yesterday, I shared a “cute” Valentine’s Day card. Here is a more “grown-up” design …

Holographic Hearts paper from The Paper Studio was used behind a pierced heart cover die. I offset the white greeting die cut with the black, adhered it to the card front, and this card was complete. (And I have a pile of little white hearts for another project!)

Teddy Bear Valentine

(Inside: Happy Valentine’s Day!)

This cute little guy is ready to deliver Valentine’s Day wishes to my kadults (my adult children who are still young at heart)!

The pieces for the bear were cut from The Paper Studio’s Textured Leather, Sand Photo, and Holographic Hearts papers (along with a scrap of black). The balloon die was from the Balloons set (#FBD119) by Paper Smooches. The stitched background is unbranded.

This holographic paper looks quite different depending on how the light hits it:
