All occasion cards with fun digitals and torn layered backgrounds

For my first card I used a little butterfly - digital image (Pixabay) - to which I added a little butterfly kisses greeting before printing.  I trimmed the bottom edge with scallop decorative scissors and then added a scored line with my score tool.  I added a dashed border using a pink gel pen.  For my background I used a torn piece of yellow hexagon paper to which I added a piece of pink hand decorated paper in the gap.  I adhered a length of embossed vellum (CB- Dvine swirl) vertically before I added my little butterfly!!  A very cute card!!  

My second card features a cute little bear (Pixabay) It is a colour printed digital image which I trimmed then added four lines of paper piercing with my pattern tracing wheel.  I layered it with copper foil paper to coordinate with the cup then I added a brown layer with an embossed line and a scalloped border with paper piercing.  The background is a torn piece of decorative paper torn vertically with a little scrap of coordinating paper adhered behind the gap.  The background was adhered to a cool green card.  Therese

All Occasion cards featuring a fun little mouse and some birds with decorative backgrounds, ribbon and embossing

For my first card, I started with a blue card and added an embossed (CB) hand decorated shimmery/glittery background to which I had added a dotted pink ribbon that coordinated with the boots worn by my little mouse.  The little mouse is a digital (Pixabay) and she is so cute with her long tail and lantern.  Obviously, on an adventure!!!  I trimmed the colour printed image, layered with green and then with embossed vellum before adhering it to my card front over the ribbon.  

For my second card, I layered my little birds (Pixabay) with a foiled gift wrap and then an apricot cardstock that coordinates with the little butterfly.  The background is made up of three layered piece adhered to my blue card - two of the decorative paper on the top and bottom and an embossed yellow piece in the middle with gaps that allow the card to show through.  I mounted the image to my card using 3D foam tape.

September Card Club - quick & easy cards featuring colour printed digital images with ribbon flags, an embossed leaf layer and fun coordinating backgrounds.

For our third card I went for quick and easy!!  These featured colour printed digitals (bird - Melonheadz, tree - My Cute Graphics, birthday cake - Flyclipart)  and one reused card element of a beautiful floral bouquet.  I paper piereced all the edges of the digitals with my pattern tracing wheel and added lines of embossing and some paper pierced lines to my floral bouquet.   We added a piece of double sided tape to the back or our images and added the little ribbon flags then trimmed them.  We added our decorative paper backgrounds to our coordinating cards and then trimmed our embossed pieces and added them as well.  We mounted our focal elements with 3D foam tape to finish off our cards!!!!  

So great to see my friends again!!

September Card Club - leaf cards with a paper clip and ribbon embellishment

For our second card I chose another leaf themed card which features embossed leaves (SU).  I love this punch because it makes such a large leaf!!  The leaf was layered onto two coordinating squares of cardstock which were layered and then the leaf added with 3D foam tape.  Then we added the round paper clip then slipped the ribbon into the side slot of the clip and secured the two ends to each other using double sided tape.  This leafy element was then added to our card fronts which had already been layered with our backgrounds of decorative papers.    Therese

 

September Card Club - Leaf die cuts tied with raffia and layered over a pieced background in fall colours and embellished with ribbon

It was so nice to be back to cardmaking with friends!!!! A wonderful evening of being creative together!!

For our first card we glued fall coloured rectangles to a background which had a very subtle leaf pattern.  We then added our gold lacy ribbon with double sided tape and over that we added the red and secured the ends to the back.  We adhered these large layers to our coordinating card fronts.  The leaf die cuts were embossed with the coordinating embossing folder (TH - Sizzix).  We tied our ivory raffia to the stem of the leaves and mounted them to our card fronts using 3D foam tape.
