Handcrafted Cards

I thought I would share some cards with you that I have created over the last few years. I made these four cards in some classes at a local craft store in 2006. At each session you make two cards. One that takes a bit of time and the other a little easier. Luckily I scanned them before I gave them away.

 This one is quite simple. The darker card has the corners punched with the floral design. It is then layered on the lighter card so that it shows through the punched shapes. The hydrangeas, writing and "ric rac" edging are just stickers and you may be able to see some dots in the middle of the flowers, these are also stickers.





 This one has machine embroidery thread wrapped around the two white shapes. They are then embellished with the silver stickers and mounted on the checkered paper which is mounted on a white card. The butterfly and flower are also just stickers and more silver stickers in the top right corner.

 This card had the floral paper glued to the left side, then a piece of pink vellum layered to the right of that. Some prairie points were made from vellum and glued to the right side and then the preprinted and embellished (with pearls) strip was glued over the top to cover any problem areas. A vellum label with a heart sticker and wording finishes it off.

This one does not show up well here. It is 3-dimensional, the white frame stands away from the card. The scene is glued to the card then the frame which has also been embossed a little. The frame is then embellished with the butterfly stickers and the potted plant cut out. A silver sticker again for the wording.

I will come back again tomorrow with some more of my cardmaking projects.

Talk again soon.
