November Card Club - quick and easy cards with printed tags, torn backgrounds over coordinating cards

 These were the third cards for the evening.  They were quick and easy with only having to glue the two torn pieces of paper to the card front and then mounting the embellished tag over the gap using 3D foam tape.  I had started on these kits when I was prepping the card kits for my friend.  I had found so many cool printables for tags that I had printed off quite a few sheets.  In the end, I was able to give her a bit of variety and had the same in the kits I made for this class.  It was fun to fun coordinating papers and ribbons to go with the tags.  The tags were downloaded from Homemade Gifts made Easy.  They worked perfectly for these quick and easy cards.  It was a great creative evening with friends and a good start to Christmas!!!

November Card Club - woven paper trees with foil stars

 I created these woven paper trees last year and only made up two cards.  I found the little stash of them this year as I was going through my supplies looking for paper for my card kits.  I had set aside a few backgrounds with the trees and three different colour of stars - silver, gold and red.  I went looking for a few more backgrounds and eventually had what I needed to make kits with all the trees I had cut last year.  These two cards have embossed backgrounds using a snowy design (SU) which I embellished with a bit of white ink on the red one.  After mounting my backgrounds to my card fronts added  the little stems and then added the woven trees and finally added the foil stars using 3D foam tape.  I love the colours and the simplicity of the design!!!  Therese

November Card Club - Christmas cards featuring torn vellum, rick rack and a cute embossed ornament with bling

 Winter has really arrived and it made for smaller numbers at Card Club.  For our first card I prepped kits for this card.  The embossed ornaments (SX) were paired with coordinating cardstock squares. In some cases I punched the background for my greeting from the square to ensure that it was the same. I added torn vellum to my backgrounds and then added rick rack that coordinated using double sided tape to secure all the ends to the back.   I mounted these large elements to my cards and then added my ornaments using 3D foam tape.  The greetings were also layered and then added with 3D foam tape.  Depending on the paper it was possible to make the card kit into a landscape card.  I added three little rhinestones to my ornamenst and paper piercing to the scallops on my greetings.  Therese

All Occasion Card featuring a light house, decorative paper background and vintage seam binding

A very simple sketch for this all occasion card!!  I did not colour the light house but did add some paper piercing on all four sides.  I added some deep blue vintage seam binding to my decorative paper background and then adhered it to my light sand card front.  I added the light house uisng 3D foam tape and then tied on a short length of the seam binding below the image with a single knot to simulate a bow!!  Therese
