All Occasion card featuring a beautiful feather sticker, a vellum and embossing and a glue seal

Another card for my stash!!!  I created my card using light yellow cardstock.  The front was a little short so I added a green section on the bottom and overlapped a little strip of turquoise over where they meet.  I embossed the rest of the card using a ferny embossing folder (CB).  I added the feather to a small piece of hand decorated paper and the coloured it with Sharpie markers - worked really well!!  I added paper piercing to the edges and then trimmed a piece of turquoise vellum in about the same size and arranged them on the embossed area.  I added some fibers to the corner using hot glue and then added the yellow hot glue seal.  You can check out a few more cards with hot glue seals and read about how they were created here!!   Therese
 

All Occasion cards featuring embossed hot glue elements, decorative paper and brads

Using a few more of those gold embossed hot glue elements I made a while back.  The black ones have two different gold embossing powders on hand decorated backgrounds.  The other three were created on red decorative paper.  They are all arty looking and will make a nice set of cards to include in a gift basket.  I created the card bases using light ivory cardstock, painted the edges to coordinate with the decorative paper backgrounds I used.  The arty focal elements were layered with coordinating cardstock and some have gold brads included.  I added paper piercing to some of them and distressed the green one and embossed the black one.  It was fun to just be able to go with different approaches to these fun little artsy accents.  Therese

 

All Occasion card featuring another embossed hot glue art piece with ribbon and an embossed background

This card features another gold embossed hot glue accent piece.  I layered it with gold to finish it off.  The card was created using ivory cardstock but it did not work really well so I simply watercoloured the edges red before adding my embossed background to which I had added a red ribbon with gold trim with a flagged end.  I mounted the arty piece over the ribbon using 3D foam tape.  Therese
 

All Occasion card featuring an owl sticker, embossed layers and background

For this card I started by adding this little owl sticker to a black hand decorated background.  It needed a bit of something so I added two tiny brads in the center of the eyes - that was much better.  I added paper piercing with my pattern tracing wheel to finish off this layer.  I created a large card using black cardstock.  It was a bit short so I added the embossed green piece on the right hand side of the front by simply overlapping it about a half inch under the black and securing with double sided tape.  I embossed a piece of light kraft cardstock and added to the black portion of my card.  I added a green flagged strip which I stippled with a black fine tip marker.  I added the owl piece over the strip using 3D foam tape.  Going to another family member this month.  Therese

All Occasion card featuring an embossed hot glue star, hand decorated papers and fiber in an eyelet

 Working on cards for members of my family.  This one will be for one of my grandson's.  I started with a gold embossed hot glue star which I created on a hand decorated paper.  I added paper piercing and layered it onto a green decorative paper.  I added the embossed (SX) hand decorated background to a warm blue card after wrapping it with a coordinating gold edged ribbon.  I added a large eyelet to the star layer and then inserted a few short lengths of coordinating fibers.  I secured them with double sided tape on both the back and the front.  Love how it worked out!!  Therese

All Occasion cards - heart watercolour, embossing and yellow seam binding

 I had prepared the heart watercolour at the same time as I did this card. Just got back to it this week.  I added the little heart die cut which I watercoloured to coordinate with the whole.  I embossed a coordinating layer with diamonds to echo my background and tied a length of light yellow vintage seam binding across it and then tied a short piece to it to simulate a bow.  I added my trimmed background to my deep rose card and then my focal element with 3D foam tape.  This one is going into my stash!!
