Happy Thoughts...with Corina Finley

Hello!

I just want to start off by letting you all know that I will be taking a leave of absense. I need to focus on my family and my family's health.

With that said, let's get to today's card!

I die-cut the Whimsical Tree of Life (I am in love with the new Whimsical Tree of Life from the June Release! It will be great for all season themed cards!) from cardstock and heat embossed with Vintage Copper Frantage embossing powder.

I cut the A2 Frames Rectangular for the base from light weight chipboard and heat embossed the edges with Copper Vintage Frantage embossing powder. I matted the Lined pattern paper to the chipboard and used the A2 Frames Rectangular in one size smaller to cut it.

From Kraft cardstock, I cut the Pierced Stacker #3 and Scalloped Oval. I inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then cut my green pattern paper with a smaller die from each of the two sets and matted them to the larger Kraft die-cuts.

I stamped my Happy Thoughts sentiment onto the Paris Signs 4, heat embossed with Copper embossing powder and trimmed the die-cut. Inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. To accent, I added the green rhinestones to the sentiment and corners.

Paris Signs 4 - B550

Pierced Stacker #3 (Set of 6) - XL-21

Give Flight to Your Dreams by Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hello!

Today, I have a card to share with you using the fab Cheery Lynn Design dies. I love creating cards with this colour combination, it works for so many different occasions. Also using the frame dies like the Chicken Wire on the base of a card easily gives depth to your card.

I used the Sweet Christine, Tea Rose Medium and the Judy's Blooms with a center from the Embellishment #2 set. Added pearls to the centers and tucked in the Olive Branches and Wheat Heads for foliage.

The stamped image was cut with the Circles Shape, layer on top of the Scalloped Circle and then on to the Horizon Circle Boutique Stacker Frame. The Horizon Circle was inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and highlighted with a glitter pen.

The Butterfly was die cut from white cardstock and I used a blue Glimmer Mist Spray to add colour. I backed the Butterfly with a light Kraft sprayed cardstock. Layered up onto the Horizon Fishtail Banner and the stamped label trimmed from the Paris Signs 4 die. I added small pearls to the die cuts.

A2 Frames Rectangular Classic (Set of 7) - CM-5

Chicken Wire - FRM144

Horizon Fishtail Banners (3 Dies) - DL278

Tea Rose Medium - B436

North Pole Snowflake Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello and Happy September!

Even though Fall is upon us, I wanted to share my favourite Christmas Card. I have created this card using two Snowflake dies from the July Release, the Snowflake Delight 1 and the Snowflake Set 1.

Below is a comparison of both die designs and sample of the die used on my card.

Snowflake Set 1

Snowflake Delight 1

I used a simple layering combo for my card. I mention simple because the dies cut out with ease, add with a little adhesive - your work is done!

Starting from the base which was cut using Coved Rectangle Classic, I layered the Coved Rectangle - Scalloped to the Coved Rectangle Classic and added the largest Pierced Stacker #1 on top. I placed the Dancing Snow Flurries backed onto cardstock to the center of the card. I trimmed the Paris Signs 4 down so I only had the label area and layered it on top of two Pierced Stacker #1 cardstock die cuts. To finish the card off, I added the layered Snowflakes with rhinestones!

Dies Used:

Snowflake Set 1 - B610

Snowflake Delight 1 - B608

Dancing Snow Flurries - B486

Paris Signs 4 - B550

Pierced Stacker #1 (Set of 6) - XL-19

Coved Rectangle Classic - Silver Stackers - L-10

Coved Rectangle - Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies - XL-11

Dream Card by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here sharing a new card. I've had a lot going on lately (mostly fun but busy) and I wanted to make a fun, lighthearted card. I pulled out my alcohol ink markers (Copics and Shin Han), Kraftin' Kimmie stamp, some of my favorite patterned paper colors and started playing.

The bottom layer is 5 3/4 square piece of patterned paper, topped with a 5 1/2 piece of white paper that I embelished with the Silver Stitching Tool die. I added another patterned paper on top and cut into it with the next largest size of the stitching tool. I love the stitched edge this creates. I then layered the new Pierced Stackers #3, a Royal Scandinavian Oval Doily, and then the top layer is a Silver Stacker from the Oval Classic set.

I cut the smaller Dream word out of the Dream Big Phrase set and glued it to the Paris Signs 4. The beautiful Whistle a Happy Tune note was cut out of gray paper and sponged with cracked pistachio distress ink.

Last I made the pink flowers using the Small Gardenia, distress inks and a stylus tool to mold them. I scrunched the flowers up while they were still wet with ink to get a more distressed crinkly look and after it dried I added extra worn lipstick distress ink to the edges with a foam applicator. The blue daisy was made with the Shasta Daisy die. The edges were sponged with cracked pistachio distress ink and molded with a stylus tool. I cut the leaves from green paper using the new Leafy Flourish die. Yellow rhinestones were glued to the centers of the pink flowers and a blue pearl was added to the daisy to add sparkle.
