3 Romantique cards

 Good Morning

Julie is back with us today to share some awesome cards she has made.

Julie will be holding a class at our Retreat in April couple more days left to secure a place as I will be finalizing numbers and signing the paperwork very soon head on over to the Website for more details. 

lets welcome Julie to the blog.

Good morning

Today I am sharing three cards I made with the beautiful 

Denise Boddey Le Jardin Romantique patterned papers

 Card 1is a Z fold card

I create all of my own card bases using 300gsm smooth white cardstock.

For the first card I cut a piece of cardstock 10 1/2" x 5 1/4"

I scored it at 2 5/8" and 5 1/4"

The card is folded in half on the 5 1/4" score and the fold at the 2 5/8" score is a valley fold.

All of the patterned paper on this card have had the edges distressed 

with my distressing tool and inked with a black Versacolor Ink cube.

I cut three pieces of Song Blossom

 1 @ 5" square

2 @ 2 3/8" x 5"

these were attached to the three sections you can see when your card is open.

I used my Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8 and Enchanted Florals to cut a panel.

I ran this panel through my Big Shot with Couture Creations 

Flamingos & Hedgehogs embossing folder.

I swiped my black ink cube over the front of this panel to help the design stand out a little more.

 The panel was then attached to the front for the card so it over hangs the 2 5/8" folded line.

I trimmed a piece of scalloped lace and attached that overlapping the left edge of the rectangular panel.

I have painted a piece of chipboard white and added that on top of the lace.

I am not sure of the name of this chipboard, it looks like a sea grass. I have cut it in half to use.

I have fussy cut images from Natures Romance and Song Blossom

to embellish further. These were added on top of the chipboard.

The sentiment is computer generated, it is matted it onto a piece of Enchanted Florals 

and attached it to the card front with a piece of cardboard behind it.

 Card 2 is an easel card 

The card base is the same size as the previous card and scored at the same measurements.

I have also cut a 5 1/4" square piece of the same cardstock.

Fold your card in half at the 5 1/4" score and a mountain fold at the 2 5/8" score line.

Flatten the front of the card base, and with your card sitting right was up,

apply glue to the right hand half of the the front section.

Lay the 5 1/4" square of cardstock directly on top of the cardbase, 

being sure to line up all of the edges.

Now we have our cardbase ready to decorate.

All of the edges of the patterned papers on this card have been distressed

in the same way as the first card.

I cut two 5" squares from Garden Letters and two pieces 2 3/8" x 5" from Natures Romance

One of the 5" squares was attached to the front of the card 

and the other was attached to the inside back panel.

The two smaller pieces were attached to the inside folded section of the card.

I also cut another piece of the Garden letters 4 3/4" square.

I used the reverse side of the paper and attached it to the front of the card

I used a Martha Stewart punch to punch along 

one of the longer sides of a 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" piece of Enchanted Florals 

I cut a piece of the Natures Romance 3" x 4 3/4" 

and punched along one of the longer edges with the same punch.

 I layered these on top of each other lining the left hand edges up with each other 

with the punched edge on the right.

These were then attached to the front of the card.

I used the Couture Creation's Flamingos & Hedgehogs embossing folder 

to emboss a 2 1/4" x 4 3/4" piece of velum and attached that on top of the previous layers,

once again lining up the left hand edges.

A piece of blue and gold braid was attached on top of the panel so it curled around the panel randomly

My main embellishment was fussy cut from Song Blossom and attached to the front of the card with cardboard behind it

The sentiment is from Uniquely Creative and is matted on a piece of the Enchanted Florals paper.

This was attached to the inside back of the card with a piece of cardboard behind it, this is what holds the card open for display

I added a few drops of Nuvo Drops - Morning Dew 

randomly on the fussy cut image to finish this card off.

Card 3

This is a 5 1/4" square card

I cut my cardbase 10 1/2" x 5 1/4", scored and folded at 5 1/4" on the long side.

The patterned papers on this card have the edges inked with a black Versa Color ink cube.

The base layer for this card is a 5" piece of Enchanted Florals.

The next layer is a 4 3/4" piece of Natures Romance

I have cut a piece of tulle that has gold particles in it to 5" square and attached that next.

Lifestyles Nesting Doily Circles die and pearlised gold cardstock 

were used to create a doily for my next layer.

I have painted some chipboard leaves from Botanicals and Delicate Branch

with pearlescent water colours.

Using Craft Barn Primrose Stamp and Die set, I stamped, heat embossed and die cut my flowers.

Before assembling them I used my flower shaping tools to give them some dimension.

I have fussy cut a section from Song Blossom to be the foundation for my embellishment cluster.

The flowers and leaves were added next.

The flowers are mounted on cardboard.

The heat embossed sentiment was added next.

Finally I added Nuvo Glitter Drops - Midnight Sky

to the centre of each of the flowers.

Here is my process video. I hope you enjoy watching it

Together for 31 chapters

Good morning happy Sunday here in Adelaide we are half way through the long weekend 
This lovely Sunday we get to welcome Tina back with a special page layout.

Hi. welcome to my share today. 

I thought since this week we celebrated/mourned, depending on the moment of the day our 31st wedding anniversary (I don't know were the time went!) I would do a page celebrating some highlights of the year.

• I started with the paper chic from the elegance collection and fussy cut out the circles. 
• I then grabbed white card stock, some distress oxides as well as a lindy's powder and did the packaging technique to add colour. 
• I added some stamping and then some splatters.

•  I grabbed the chapter title, arch and the numbers as well as the wagon wheels and embossed them with various embossing powders.

•  I cut the arch into smaller pieces. I distressed all the edges of the photos and papers, then layered my photos which I had cut into circles onto various pieces from the Chic paper. using either foam tape or cardboard to raise either the paper or the photo to give shadows and interest.
  
•  I embossed one circle. I layered the chipboard, some flowers as well as some metal cogs. I then added more gold splatters. 

Thank you for looking and why not hop over to Denise Boddey design to look at her amazing papers and chipboards. 

Until next time, happy crafting. 

Tina

Thanks Tina and Happy Anniversary
