You Are So Beautiful – Purse Card

This project was made for Joyce’s “Stamp Out Cancer – Challenge #7 – No Rectangles or Squares” for StampTV. For this challenge, we are to make a card that is not square or rectangle and to use designer paper (can be custom made). (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)

This card was made with elements from a kit from svgcuts called Luxury Handbags SVG Kit. CLick HERE to check it out at svgcuts.com.

I cut the pieces out with my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine. The 2 pieces of designer paper I used for this project came from the Recollections “Memories Documented” paper pad. The solid card stock is gina k sandy beach. The greeting stamp came from the Gina K Designs “Fight Like A Girl” set and was stamped with gina k charcoal brown ink on the sandy beach card stock. The circle was cut using a Spellbinders standard circle die, and it was adhered to the center of the flower. The greeting was the only stamp used on this project. The metal heart charm, jute and raffia were in my stash.

Choose any (small) greeting to put on the flower and select coordinating card stocks, papers, and embellishments, and this card design can be used for a variety of occasions!

O Holy Night Step Card

O Holy Night Step Card

This step card was made with elements from two kits from svgcuts called “Edisto Island Cards Svg Kit” (for the step card itself) and “O Holy Night Svg Kit” (for the nativity pieces). Click HERE to see the Edisto Island Kit and HERE to see the O Holy Night Kit at svgcuts.com.

These kits contains svg files of all of the pieces needed to create this card. I used my Cricut Expression with my Sure Cuts A Lot 2 software, but I could have used my Silhouette or any electronic die cutting machine that can cut svg files. I selected all of the paper I wished to use and set up all of the cut files on separate “pages” by grouping images based on the type of paper I wanted the pieces to be. Once all of the pieces were cut out by my electronic die cutting machine, I assembled and glued everything together and ended up with this cute card!

I am entering this card in the Mod Squad – Word Challenge – Holiday where “anything that is holiday related is fair game!” (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)

Falling Leaves Thanksgiving Card

Posted in Cards, Holiday Cards, Thanksgiving by lisababitz

Falling Leaves Thanksgiving Card

This is a triple layer card. The three stamped panels were first inked with Tim Holtz aged mahogany, rusty hinge, dusty concord, and vintage photo distress inks on Gina K Honey Mustard card stock. The panels were then temporarily taped together, centered one on top of the other. The leaf images were then stamped in versamark and aged mahogany and then were heat embossed with clear embossing powder. When stamping the images, I made sure that the leaves went over more than one layer. I also stamped and embossed the sentiment on a plain scrap of Honey Mustard card stock. The panels were then separated and matted on plain Honey Mustard card stock panels and a card base. After adding my raffia and wooden leaf embellishment, I layered the panels on top of each other in the same order and direction they were originally stamped, lining up the leaves as carefully as possible. I used pop dots to adhere the layers. The leaf image and greeting were from the Gina K Designs Fall Foliage set.

The panel measurements for this triple layer card are as follows:

stamped panel 2″ x 3 1/4″ mat 2 1/4″ x 3 1/2″

stamped panel 3″ x 4 1/4″ mat 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″

stamped panel 4″ x 5 1/4″ base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ – scored and folded in half so it creates a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ mat

This card is being entered in the StampTV MIUM Challenge, “Falling Leaves” where the card should have a leaf or leaves as the primary image. (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)

It is also being entered in the Mod Squad Challenge – Word Challenge – Holiday where “anything that is holiday related is fair game.” (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)
