All occasion card featuring a cute little hedge hog holding flowers over a fun background

 I started with the little hedge hog which I watercoloured using the same technique as this card.  I added paper pierced on all four edges using my pattern tracing wheel.  I added three little ribbon flags and then mounted the image to a larger layer.  I found this fun paper that was the right colour.  I had tried an origami technique and so it had all sorts of fold lines.  I thought it looked cool so I embossed it with polka dots and trimmed it to size and mounted it on my purple card front.  Another fun card for a special person with a birthday!!  Therese

Card kits - Card #3 - embellished tags with ribbon over a large decorative paper background and coordinating card

For the third set of card kits I decided to embellish some tags!!!  The tags were die cut (SX) in a variety of colours and embellishments were added along with some ribbon.  Some were colour printed tags, trimmed and embellished with rhinestones and other fun elements.  

For this card I added faux stitching to the outside edge of the tag and them embossed with Swiss Dots (CB).  I added a double ribbon tied in the hole and secured them with double sided tape.  The leaf die cut was embellished with clear glitter (gel pen) and adhered to the tag with double sided tape.  This large focal element was added to the card front after the background was added.  The background was also embellished  with clear glitter.  

They will be a double blessing as I am sure she will have fun putting the cards together and they will bless family and friends as she sends them on their way.  Therese

 

Card kits - Card #2 - large coloured focal elements over a full background with strip of colour in between

For the second set of 8 card kits I embellished colour printed images and used them as focal elements.  They are all different so the cards will be fun to make up.  This one and three others are baby themed because there are babies coming in her extended family.  This baby boy one was made up as the sample so it would be ready for the weekend when she goes to see the new baby.  

For this card I added several lines of paper piercing to the hand decorated background (paste paper) using my pattern tracing wheel and added a strip of yellow to echo the yellow in the onsies on the clothesline (PIxabay) over the background on my card front.  I added some paper piercing to the colour printed image then adhered it to the card front using 3D foam tape.

Card kits - Card #1 - embellishments layered onto a strip of paper over a fun background

 I have made up a set of card kits for a friend who is an avid cardmaker and is undeterred by a health condition that has reduced her eyesight.  I have made the kits with only a few layers and added 3D foam tape to the back of the embellishments with bright blue release paper which provides very good contrast which will make putting together the cards easier for her.  

For this set of 8 cards I have used a full background on a contrasting card front - already folded to make that step easier.  A strip of cardstock which spans the width or the height which can be adjusted if needed by trimming to the edge of the card if she wishes.  Fun layered embellishments to adhere to the strip as she wishes.  She is very creative so these are only guidelines and I am sure she will make them her own.  Therese
