Another fun shaped card that can be made in any size.  First take a white 8 1/2" X 11" cardstock and score in middle then fold in half.  Place Grand Labels Four die slightly above the fold and run through machine.  Now you have created a card that will stand upright.  Place Grand Labels Four (4⅜ x 6⅞″ ) die on single piece of red cardstock die cut, then emboss with Cuttlebug Brocade folder.  Attach to front of white card shape.  If you want to create the solid trim piece for top of clutch (picture 3) take larger die and place over small cut paper and run through machine.  Then just trim edges of piece before gluing.

Add two Madera corners and flowers adding red stickles to flower centers.
Die cut bow and coat with Stickles Icicles let dry and then attach to clutch.

Decorative Purse Tutorial

Completed Purse Card

 

Cut Edges to create shape

 

Same Technique just a different style

 

I had some leftover pieces from the Palace Oval Frame that I wanted to use so I thought it would be fun to create a purse card.  Take your 8 1/2" X 11" piece of cardstock and score in half then fold over.  Using a cutting mat with printed rule take a rotary cutter and ruler to cut off one side of the card.  Use the cut piece as your template to trim off the other side then cut so each side matches.  Now you almost  have a purse shape, with sizzors trim off corners to give the purse rounded edges. 

Purse handle is created using the two largest Classic Oval die together then emboss with Polka Dot folder.  Attach to back of card.

Using the Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities Labels Four die cut the shape and then cut piece in half.  Emboss with Polka Dot folder.  Attach to top of card.  Create Fabulous Phlox flower add a little Stickles Icicle Glue to the flower and when dry attach to top of purse.

Add center of Palace Oval Frame pieces in center under pink button and then Madera Corners and the completed Fabulous Phlox. 

When complete the card will stand upright.

Simply White Delight

This was such a quick and easy card to make.  I first die cut the Decorative Labels Eight, then added the Palace Oval Frame to the center.  Next I die cut two sets of Fabulous Phlox and glued them together and added the Primula Blooms to the flower center.  I attached the die cut Small lace Faerie Queen to the bottom of Oval Frame.

To create the punched edge for card you need to cut a piece of cardstock 5" X 11".  Punch corners first and then work your way up the sides of paper.  I did not punch the back bottom of card.   When attaching Decorative Labels Eight fit piece inside punched area so top is slightly above the fold.

Another very fun die cut from Memory Box the Palace Oval Frame was created using Spellbinder Gold Craft Foils.  I die cut the Cottage Cutz Vase and coated it with Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer to give it a little shine.  After die cutting the Madera Corner I inserted it in the vase an attached the various flowers to the stems.  To complete the card add a little Yellow Stickes to flower centers and punch two Eyelet Lace border to top and bottom of card.  Makes a very fun design.

Lavender Wreath Spray (Sizzix Framelit, Memory Box, Martha Stewart)

I was so excited to use my new Sizzix Framelit Embossing folder, it really creates a beautiful pattern on the paper.  I paired the frame with Memory Box Fabulous Phlox , Norland Flower, and several Fiskars and E.K. Success flowers and tucked  Martha Stewart green Fern and Branch leaves under them.  Then using the Purple Stickles I dotted the center of each flower and added Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer to create a dew look.  To balance the card I added a Cheery Lynn Lace Corners Deco F to each corner and matted under the white cardstock with a nice purple cardstock.

To create the Center Ring use both the Spellbinders Standard Circles so you get a nice ring shape, add mounting tape under ring and center it on the card.  It really makes the card pop when completed.

The Curious Cat (Memory Box)

 I really enjoy making greeting cards that tell a story and I thought and all white card would be fun to create.  So today my card is about the curious cat, perched on a fence deciding how to reach the butterflies nestled in the Oak tree.

To create the frame die cut the larger Labels Four and then use the smaller one to cut out the frame.  Apply mounting tape to the back of frame.  After die cutting the Oak tree, emboss with wood grain folder, apply Crystal Lacquer and let dry.  Attach Fence to back of frame, then Oak tree, add cat in front to frame, and use small amount of mounting tape to bike before attaching.  Sprinkle butterflies around tree and finish with bird.

Spring in Bloom (Memory Box & Spellbinders)

To create the brown cardstock frame cut your paper 5" X 6.75" and then use the Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Doily Lace.  With yellow patterned cardstock die cut the Resplendent Rectangles and attach to brown frame. 

I die cut the Grand Oak Tree four times (then glued them together) to give it dimension, add the Picket Fence, Tulips and strip of grass.  Add the small butterflies to tree.  Die cut the cat and dog 4 times and attach to card.  Very easy and fun to make.

Fairy Dreams (Memory Box, Spellbinders)

I have wanted to create a card using a Fairy design for a while.  I die cut the Memory Box lady Dancing and the Cheery Lynn Design Small Lace Faerie Wing set. I coated the wings with Sakura Crystal Lacquer and Glitter then after drying cut in half and attached one wing behind body and the other under front of arm.

For the White frame I doubled the mounting tape under the Spellbinder Resplendent Rectangle and attached to patterned paper.  Then I glued Lavish Branch along left side of frame and attached flowers and butterflies.  I had a few left over branches from the Fabulous Phlox that I tucked around frame.  I glued Fairy Lady and added a little mounting tape under the body so it would sit directly on frame.

To complete add Yellow Stickles to flower centers and butterflies.

Use the same technique to make pink flowers as I used on the Lilac Blooms card.

To get started trim white card stock with Rotary cutter to 8" X 10".  Score the card stock in the middle at the 5" line and use a bone folder to crease the edge of paper to form a card 5" X 8".  Place the Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A die (4⅛ x 5⅜”) about 1/2" from top of blank card and die cut the piece. 

Die cut a second piece of White card stock using the Basic Lattice. Glue the Lattice piece behind opening.  Trim a blank 5" X 8" piece of white card stock for later.

Place wax paper under Lattice while gluing pieces to front of card. Die cut Memory Box Lavish Branch and Madera Corner with green card stock.  Attach branch along left side of Lattice.  Attach Madera Corner to upper right top corner.

Using Purple card stock punch out (1)  E.K. Success 1 ½”, (4) ⅞″ circles and as many Hydrangea pieces as you need to cover circles and a few extras.  Glue large flower shape with smaller flower inside and pinch each flower together so they stand upright.  With tweezers glue completed flowers to circles starting at center and continue adding flowers around the center until you have covered the circle.  Make sure to glue them close together to create fullness.  Add a drop of Crystal Lacquer to centers of flowers sprinkle on glitter and shake off excess.

Attach large flower to center of branch adding medium three more along stem, attach remaining medium size to Madera Corner and five smaller flowers to branch.

Punch out Monarch Butterfly glue on Rhinestones and coat with Crystal lacquer when dry attach to center of card.

Fabulous Phlox

Here is a fun way to use two different Spellbinder dies and create an entirely new look.  I used the Memory Box Fabulous Phlox for this card and die cut yellow and purple card stock and then glued the alternating colors together.  I die cut the Memory Box Lavish Branch and cut the piece in half to create a different shape before gluing.

For the frame I used Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two (top tag in the package).  I cut out two in white and two in purple.  I then cut each tag down the center lengthwise. Glue purple pieces slightly behind the white ones to give each piece a shadow-effect.  I then used Spellbinders Scalloped Labels One (4⅛” & 3½”) together to create a Yellow inner frame.  Glue the four Fancy Tag pieces together  just at the corners one piece at a time making sure the Frame piece when glued will sit directly on top.

Add Lavish Branch and Fabulous Phlox to center of card, rhinestones and double matted frame to complete card.

Delivering Easter Fun (Memory Box, Spellbinders, Cottage Cutz)

My card design for today looks complicated but really is an easy way to create an Easter scene.  The Spellbinders Classic Editions set has a fun cart die that I have found very useful in creating many of my cards.  I die cut it with black card stock and then coated it with the Sakura 3D Crystal lacquer and set aside to dry.
