Feel better card

This card was made with paper from Kaisercraft (I can't remember the name of this collection, but I think the red paper was called "Empire") and a matching stamp and die-namic set from "My Favorite Things" called "Umbrella". I love this die as it has the whole umbrella shape and also each of the segments, giving the umbrella a much more interesting look.

Get well soon!

This card was made using my new die/stamp set from MFT, "Umbrella." The umbrella was cut using this die on my Big Shot machine, and the sentiment and rain drops were stamped using the matching stamp set.

Thank you!

I made this card as a thank you card for some friends who we recently caught up with, but really it could be used for almost any purpose.

The card uses two different patterned papers from Kaisercraft, some pale yellow flowers also from Kaisercraft. I covered the join with some brown ribbon and set it all on some pale blue, slightly textured card. To finish, I used some pearl drops on the top half of the patterned paper to add some dimension.

Happy birthday card

Here is a birthday card I made using some lovely patterned paper from Kaisercraft. I cut two 5 by 5 cms of contrasting patterned paper and then cut each square into three pieces by cutting from the middle on an angle to the 1cm and 4cm marks. I then swapped the middle triangles to create the pattern.

I attached the patterned pieces to some red card stock and attached the whole panel to a straw coloured card with some ribbon underneath.

To finish, I fixed a yellow flower with an orange gem in the middle.

I think this card could also be used as a get well card or a thank you card as it is nice and bright and cheerful. :)

Three very similar cards

For Christmas, I got a Sizzex Bigshot and recently purchased a new embossing folder. The folder is made by Quickutz and is an A2 folder called Vines. I cut one A2 sized piece in a navy blue shiny paper and ran it through the machine. I then cut it into thirds to use in each of the cards to the left.

I also used the Bigshot to cut the bottom left corner shape out of gold shiny paper. (A Sizzex brand small die).

I then stamped three different messages - "Happy Birthday", "Thank you" and "Get well" - on white card which I then stuck on the same gold paper  as the corner die.

To join together, I placed the blue embossed paper and some stripy patterned paper on some standard green cardstock. I then covered the join between the blue and stripy paper with some ribbon before sticking the message in place and positioning the corner die.

These cards could be used for either females or males given the colour combination and the design.
