An all occasion card featuring a copper foil heart and ribbon with a carved wood grain background

I will be sending this one with my thanks to a special person for their wonderful gift this season!!  

I started with the copper foil paper which was wrapped around one of my husband's gifts.  I cut the foil paper on the fold lines and adhered one piece to cardstock so I could die cut it.  I used a heart die which I received for my birthday which cuts this beautifully intricate heart and 8 little hearts fall out of it.  I have saved the other hearts and will use them on another card.  

I added a length of the copper ribbon from the same gift onto one of my carved wood grain backgrounds which I made a while back and secured the ends to the back before adhering it to a gray card front.  I adhered the heart to my card using white glue applied with a fine tip applicator over the ribbon and pressed it with my hand for a bit to ensure good contact with the embossed background.  I glued one of the little hearts back into its space to create a focal point.  Very happy with how this card turned out!!          Therese
 

All occasion card featuring a bold background, a cute elephant digital and some rhinestones

Still making cards for my stash.  For this one I started with a black card front which I created to fit into an envelope from my stash.  I created my background using two scraps of the diamond paper and adding a strip of pink in between.  I like that all the angles are different.  I mounted my background to my card.  This cute little elephant image is a digital downloaded from Pixabay.  I colour printed it, trimmed it from the sheet and then used my distressing tool around the edges before mounting it to my card using 3D foam tape.  I added three pink rhinestones on the pink paper to finish off my card.
