Butterfly Faceted Diamond Fold

It has been some time since I have shared a card, I have relocated and a lot of my supplies are still in storage boxes. While I have been waiting for the craft room to be made, I have been looking for cardmaking ideas. I friend recently shared a tutorial on a faceted diamond fold. I found several tutorials for folded cards that I will certainly try in the future.

This week on the CCEE Stampers blog our challenge is butterflies, I came across the die cut flowers and designer paper while I was unpacking.

Butterflies seem to be very popular right now, many companies have released products featuring them this year. Create a card that features one or more butterflies.

I started by creating the base card in peach, measured the fold and cut the designer paper to match.

I added the pre cut butterflies, since they were all white I coloured some in blue.

The card folds flat for postage and I added the sentiment inside. If you look closely you card see the piece of acetate that I have used to create the photo up effect.

Roses and Pearls

 Good Morning Crafting Friends,

The card I am sharing is for today's CCEE Stampers challenge.

The rose is the national flower for the month of June while the pearl is June’s gemstone. 

I made this card using the Altenew Layered Blossom cover die A & B. I cut the first layer into card stock and the 2nd layer into designer paper. I then added the sentiment that was heat embossed and die cut.

Card Class Makes

Hi Crafting Friends

I recently had time to tidy up the craft room (relocating after 22 years of crafting, lots to sort through) and found this collection of cards that I had sort of made in a card class way at a craft show back in 2019. All the products are from Altenew and they were probably from a new release. All the cards were stamped or die cut and just needed some assembly.

 Thanks for looking.....

Oddball Eyes

 

Good Morning Crafting Friends

Last month I went to a craft show the first one in a couple of years, it was good to see so many vendors in the one place.

Beccy's Place was there and I picked up a few sets, this set was so goofy I just had to get it.

May is Healthy Vision Month so show us your cards with glasses,

eye charts, any kind of eyeball as the  focal point!

This is just a quick and simple card just using the stamps and coordinating dies.

Delightful Daisies

 Hi Crafting friends, 

Today on the CCEE Stampers Blog, the challenge is to use some sort of rolling on your card.

Today is National Foam Roller Day so show us your cards using any rolled technique!  There are many possibilities, like paper rolling, brayers, marbles - have fun with this!

For my card I used a brayer to roll ink onto a gel press plate, I first rolled Kitsch Flamingo onto the gel plate layered on the stencil and added picked Raspberry, I then pressed the card onto the ink. I then heat embossed the sentiment. I stamped the Daisies and fussy cut them out, I attached them to the card with foam tape. Then adding some black gems stones.

Friends

 Good Morning Crafting Friends,

Today I am sharing the card I made for a friends challenge. What is better thana few girlfriends getting together and having a fun time catching up.

Art Impression stamps have the best girlfriend stamp sets.

I have a ton of designer paper and while I use it for background layering this particular paper stack is thick enough to be used as a card base.

Thanks for looking and take care

Coffee anytime

Hello Crafting Friends

Last Month I shared a card for a friends special 60th birthday, needless to say as we are packing up our house in plans for relocation. When it came time to use the card I couldn't find it so here is the hastily made copy, I didn't have the same supplies of paper so I had to change a few things.

Here is the link with the previously shared card, with the listed supplies.

Take care

Maryann
