Let's Craft and Create Challenge #202 AG with the Option of a Vintage Feel

 

It's time for a new challenge over at Let's Craft and Create, Challenge #202 Anything Goes with the Option Vintage Feel, starts today. This is my project.

I started with a heavyweight Kraft cardstock that was cut, scored, and folded to make a standard A2 card base. I used some rectangle dies to cut my pattern papers down and layered them on my card base.

My image is a Print and Cut image that I cut out with my Cricut Joy Xtra. To give the image a more vintage feel, I added some Vintage Photo around the white edges. I added some foam tape behind it to pop it up on my card. I then used my Nuvo Shimmer Pen to add shimmer to my tree and sentiment. I think my tree has a little too much shimmer. I was having trouble with my shimmer pen so gave it a squeeze and added a drop to my glass mat. I then dipped the brush into my little drop of shimmer and added it to my tree and sentiment. You can definitely see the shimmer on the tree.

Well, thanks for stopping by. I hope you will head over to Let's Craft and Create and check out the rest of the inspiration by the design team, then link up your project. Hope to see you there.

Side Edge Birthday Card

 

I have a new card for you today. I did not design this. Deanna Bell did and shared the file in a Facebook group I am in. However I did make some tweaks to the design so it would work for me.

First thing I did was resize the card. The original design was a 5" square card. I changed to 5.225" high which then changed the width to 4.066". This card will fit in an A2 envelope. Be sure when resizing to do all the layers at the same time so everything resizes proportionally 

The next thing I did was change the sentiment from Mother's Day to Happy Birthday. The sentiment is from Cricut Access and cut great. 

I then resized and moved the sentiment down to the bottom of the card. That left a blank spot at the top that needed filling. I decided to add a butterfly and found this white one I liked. It was a print and cut image which worked out great since all the tulips are print and cut also. Everything was cut with my Cricut Maker.

I assembled my card using liquid adhesive and a bit of foam tape. The butterfly is adhered to the card with liquid glue under its body and small pieces of foam tape under its wings. I also added some Nuvo Shimmer Pen to its wings.

Here are a couple of pictures of the inside panels of the card.
