Hi everyone!!
Today is my first post as a
Paper Cutz design team member. I couldn't be more excited! I love the challenges that they have to offer and you could be entered to win the grand prize! The challenge is easy - 3 colors, 2 buttons and 1 ribbon! I liked this challenge so much that in the end I made about four cards for it! LOL granted I made three as a set for myself - I really needed some thank yous and I made my first easel card!
Let's start with the easel card. I used some very easy directions from the CardMaker magazine but there are plenty out there if you do a google search too! This one happens to fit in an A2 envelope which I like! I used some pink, white and green as my three colors with paper I used for a set of thank yous a friend needed. I cut the hearts on my Cricut using Gypsy Wanderings - I just love the simple objects with the light scrolling from this cartridge! I used my cuttlebug and some nestables for the sentiment paper and the scalloped circle behind. I then used my Stampin' Up ink from the Bold Brights collection to ink the edges of my paper and to stamp friends. I added one little white ribbon around the bottom and two buttons in pink and green to two of my hearts! Finally, I popped a few hearts up off the card and added a bit of stickles to the hearts. Under the front panel I put a place for a quick written note too.
Now on to the three thank you notes. These were very simple 5x5 cards - did you know that if you send a card over 61/8" it's over a dollar! So I've started making 5x5's instead - it's only two stamps! LOL
Anyhow, I used my Stampin' Up paper (pink, blue and white) and ink for the sentiment. I also added a tiny pink ribbon and two blue buttons. I purchased the images from
All that Scraps in a collection called
Kiki La Rue.
I colored all three with my Copics and cut with my cuttlebug and nestables.
I really had fun making these little thank yous for the challenge - make sure you join in the fun at
Paper Cutz this week!!
Enjoy!
Fab cards - I think you will make many more easel cards - it's brill! I love the bright zesty colours and it reminds me of the sweet hear sweeties - yummy! Lovely colouring on your thank you's! Cheers Claire x
