PAPER CAKE TRAIL

Today's card was inspired by the beautiful inspiration photo over at The Friday MashUp. I began on a Bashful Blue cardstock base and inked the edges with Marina Mist.  With another piece of Bashful paper, I ran a snowflake embossing folder through my Big Shot and mounted it at an angle on the card face, then added a paper doily to the center of the card.  I die cut a triangle using Blue patterned paper for my tree, and affixed the tree at an angle on the right side of the card.  The star was punched out using Silver glitter paper and placed on top of the tree.  A short strip of textured Brown cardstock was added below the tree and a Silver brad was anchored through the center of the tree.  'Joy' was stamped using Blue ink onto a White tag and added across the bottom half of the card.  A Blue button was added on the bottom right corner of the tag.  A cut textured Blue banner   was stamped 'Christmas' using Blue ink, and attached ac...

Today's card was inspired by the color challenge over at The Play Date Cafe. Emboss and trim a Whisper White cardstock panel, then ink the edges with Crumb Cake ink.  Wrap rustic Kraft twine vertically around the left half of the Whisper White panel three times and tie a double bow near the center. Die cut or punch a border from textured Red paper, glue a strip of patterned paper across it, and attach the strips across the middle to lower part of the Whisper White panel using dimensionals.

Today 's c ard was inspired by the colour challenge over at The Play Date Cafe. I began by covering the bottom of a White cardstock card base with Rose/Green patterned paper and rounded the bottom corners.   I stamped a flower/leaves image on the left side of the card above the paper panel.   I trimmed a strip from textured pink cardstock, stamped With Love onto it and adhered die cut White scallops to the top and bottom edges of the strip , then adhered it to the top of the patterned paper mat.  I punched two butterflies in Grey/White polka dot patter ned paper, bent the wings and glued them in place.  Two buttons and a White prima flower are glued to the base of the stamped image.   To finished it all off I added Clear rhinestones across the front.
