This card is a different one for me. I generally don’t do whimsical, however I do have a grandson now so I may do a few from time to time. I loved the color scheme on this card and I did send one to my grandson. He’s a little young to appreciate them yet, but any excuse to send him something is welcome. I love the challenge of doing something more whimsical and a bit out of my comfort zone. I love pushing my creativity!
Measurements for today’s Whale Done Love Card:
I used a Whisper White Card Base 8 ½” by 5 ½”, scored and folded at 4 ¼”,
1 Piece 4 ¾” by 3 ½” to emboss for the front of the card
and 1 piece 4″ by 5 ¼” to cut the frame for the inside of the card
Then 1 piece of Whale of a Time DSP 4″ by 5 ¼” for layering,
plus fussy cut pieces for the seaweed on the front of the card as well as the seahorses
1 additional piece of Whale of a Time DSP for the sentiment at least 3″ by 1 ¼”
Thanks for stopping by. Let me know if you have questions.
This one is a labor of love. While it is my 2020 White on White Christmas Card, it would make a fabulous Wedding or anniversary Card. This one is definitely fiddly, the final result is well worth the effort.
Measurements for today’s White on White Christmas Card:
I used a Whisper White Card Base 8 ½” by 5 ½”, scored and folded at 4 ¼”,
2 additional pieces of Whisper White 4” by 5 ½”,
plus a large amount of scrap to cut the flower and leaf pieces
Well I finally got to meet my first Grandson, Henry this last week. What a Joy! I plan to be the Grandmother in charge of adventures!! Here are a few pictures of my amazing family.
My first meeting with Henry
A trip to the Botanic Gardens Then to the Zoo
The Proud Mom and Dad. My youngest Son Steven and my lovely Daughter In Law Julia.
With Grandma and Grandpa (my husband Barry)
With Uncle Mike my oldest son.
You would think Henry was mugging for the Camera on a few of these. I had the opportunity to take him to our beautiful Botanic Gardens, a good outdoor, safe outing. The number of people in the Gardens are restricted and there are so many paths and wonderful things to experience. It was a lovely time. My son and I also took him to the Zoo, I think that trip was more for us than for Henry, LOL. He is a wonderful baby with a great disposition and he has a smile for everyone. I am in heaven.
I have just having a blast with this Poinsettia Suite, it makes the prettiest cards. I think when I put these in the mail I will use some of our Acetate Card Boxes so that the poinsettias will hold their shape. Using the Subtles embossing Folder on the Foils produces the most dramatic results, I love using this technique.
Here are the measurements for today’s White and Gold Christmas Card:
I used a Whisper White Card Base 8 ½” by 5 ½”, scored and folded at 4 ¼”, plus scrap to cut the poinsettia pieces and the sentiment.
Next 2 additional pieces of Whisper White cut 3 ¾” by 5” one for the inside and one for the front of the card
Then 1 piece of Pear Pizzazz 4” by 5 ¼”, plus scrap to cut the large poinsettia flower piece for the leaves of the flower
Last of all I used several pieces of Gold Foil:
4” by 5 ¼”,
1 piece 1” by 5”,
1 piece ¾” by 4”,
and a piece of scrap for your sentiment backing and the middle set of leaves from the poinsettia flower
Thanks so much for stopping by, and as always let me know if you have questions.
This Blue and Silver theme for Christmas is one of my favorites, and I love the monochromatic style of card. This card has everything flowers, dimension, bling, texture and a simple statement. These are all elements of cards that I think are the ones I love making. Other than a bit of die cutting this one is not difficult at all. I hope you give it a try for someone special this Holiday Season.
Measurements for today’s Blue and Silver Christmas Card:
I used a Seaside Spray Card Base 8 ½” by 5 ½”, scored and folded at 4 ¼”
plus one piece 3 ¾” by 5” for the inside of the card
Then I used 2 Pieces of Night of Navy 4” by 5 ¼”
Next a large piece of Seaside Spray to die cut the poinsettia detail and prepare the sentiment
and lastly a piece of Silver scrap to die cut the small poinsettias and the berries
These are my September Paper Pumpkin alternative cards. This time, the alternatives that are suggested with the kit are great. There are lots of alternatives from which to choose. I made a total of 6 cards this time and had great fun with the kit.
