Amazing Summertime Card by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovelies.

There are some pretty amazing changes on this team! We now have new dies every month and a blog hop to introduce the new dies. And we are pretty glad that you are following us in this wonderful process so please keep doing so. With that being said I would like to show you a card I made {lately I can't find the time to make layouts, but that will come after the summer time}. Speaking of summertime, this card was made with that NEW collection by Maja Design - a surprise, if you visit my blog you could win that collection.

Amazing Summertime:

Behind the Quatrefoil I placed a piece of transparante sheet to make my card see through. That gives such a nice effect and it looks like your card has much dimension. I am in need of that vacation break so badly. I just need to work for another month {why does that sound so long?}. This card makes my heart sing.....

Yesterday I was making flowers all day to use on my cards and layouts in the next coming months. I am totally hooked, so when I am off work later today I will keep going. Wish me luck. On the picture below you can see how it looks with the see through part. Hopefully you are not getting tired of me using that collection.

Birthday Wishes by Eva Dobilas

Eva 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi there, this is Eva here today and I have a pretty colorful card to share with you. So let me show you how I made it.

First I started by cutting out two Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames using black card stock and glued them together to create my card base. Next I die cut a Mexican Tile Pattern out of kraft card stock and adhered it to my card front. Next I die cut a square using the Square Stitch and Cut tool out of light blue card stock and layered it on my card. Next I die cut a Fleur De Lis Circle Doily out of black card stock and added it to my card. Next I die cut a Birthday Wishes Circle Die out of white card stock and backed it out with a light blue circle, which I cut out using the Circle die.

Finally I die cut Floral Bouquet Kit Die Set out of water color card stock and I painted them using Color Burst Water Color Powders and added them to my card. I also added crystals to the "i"s in the Birthday Wishes.

Hope you like this card and here are the dies I used to create it with:

DL253 - Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames

LSC -1 Square Stitch and Cut tool

FRM149 - Mexican Tile Pattern

DL304 - Fleur De Lis Circle Doily

B783 - Birthday Wishes Circle Die

XM4 - Circle

B777- Floral Bouquet Kit Die Set

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see your cards in our newest challenge!

Hugs,

Eva

Thinking of You by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hello crafty friends, it's Jenny here today. Lately I've been making tons of flowers using different Cheery Lynn dies. They are easy to create and I love how they come to life once assembled. For this card, I matched flowers to the striped Bo Bunny card stock and then developed the card. The card is a 5.5" square with the Scalloped LG Stacking Square as the base. I layered a piece of white card stock on top, then the patterned paper, then the doily and then the sentiment.

I chose the Quadrafoil Square Doily as the central point of the design. Both the Shasta Daisy and the Black Eyed Susan were colored with distress ink and the center of the Black Eyed Susan was rolled with a quilling tool. I added a little distress ink to the edges of the blue petals as well as the edges of the Thinking of You Sentiment Square.
