Super Quick Card Using MME's State Of The Heart Papers and Die Cuts

Hi everyone, just a quick Valentines Day card tonight. I think it would also make a nice anniversary card. I threw this one together in about 20 minutes one morning before I had to go out. The MME State of the Heart paper pack came with a sheet of die cut elements that helped make this card a super quick one. (I know, I know, there is a pearl missing! It has since been re-attached). I really let the die cuts do the talking :)

I selected two die cuts from the die cut sheet, I added a heart in Fired Brick Distress ink to the top and bottom of the middle layer and then rounded the top right and bottom left corner of each piece. I selected a co-ordinating pp and did the same as we as to the cream card base. I stuck my layers on one at a time starting with the bottom pieces. At this point I thought it looked to plain and I added some bling to give it a lift. Clear rhinestones top and bottom and teeny pearl bling to the hearts on the middle die cut . . . Note to self . . . Add the bling before the foam tape lol, that's why I lost one.
Anyways super late here so I best get some sleep! Expect another post tomorrow of a card I couldn't show until the recipient received it lol. It uses the MME papers again and a color scheme I've not used before!

Birthday Fun with Recollections and K & Co

Hiya everyone :) This weeks theme at Eclectic Ellapu is 1st Birthday. I had coloured a bunch of little kiddy images with my Copics as practice not long after I got them, I was going to use them for a cardmaking class but they decided they just wanted to make christmas cards. So I decided to use one for this card :) I used a Lifestyle Crafts die to cut my around my image using my ebosser.

 I then had fun trying to find some pp's to go with the image. It really does pay to choose papers first! lol but what can you do. My base layer is a piece I picked up cheap somewhere and it doesn't have a brand name on it. Before I adhered it to my white card base I went around the edges of the card base in Y000, the lighter colour around the lion. Then I also coloured a strip of paper with it to add across the top of the pp.

Next up I took a piece of K & Company pp from a stack I have and used a die from Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles and cut it in my ebosser. I also used the new metal plate to cut thing dies with. Worked great! I adhered this piece on and angle.

I then used Timeless Rectangles to cut a white piece of cs. I then took the same Copic and coloured the whole thing. I used Wild Honey Distress ink to stamp the sentiment.

I then used Y000 again to colour some pearls to match the rest of the card and stuck them at the four corners.

I used foam tape to raise both the image and sentiment off the card for a bit of dimension and called it done! :) lol
