Next I punched out 6 hearts. 3 in the floral pattern and 3 in the pink cardstock. I added small dimensionals on the front of the 3 floral hearts.

30 Day Card Challenege Card # 7- Thank you

Here's the card today! A friend of mine made me some Cherry Chesecake and I wanted to make her a thank you card for her!

Here I used

My Mind's Eye Stamp Set

My Mind's Eye Dolled Up Paper Pad

Cosmo Cricut Paper pad

Stampin' Up! Wild Wasabi Ink Pad

Kraft Cardstock

Stampin' Up! 5 Petal Punch

Here I used the standard 4-1/4x5-1/2 and turned it hot dog style. Now I cut some patterned paper from My Mind's Eye paper pad the polka dot which is trimmed to fit the card. Then the yellow patterned paper is trimmed a couple sizes smaller I eyeballed it ; ). Then I cut some green plaid paper and trimmed Kraft cardstock.



Here you can put it all together place it closer to the top and leave some space at the bottom : ).

I added some white stiching around the kraft cardstock. And I used some Thank You stamp sentiment I had lying around. I stamped it in Wild Wasabi.

I punched out these flowers and adhered it onto the card. The smaller polka dot is on the back of the larger polka dot! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! See you tomorrow!

30 Day Challenge Card #6 - Floral Friend

As you know I don't do cards on the weekend! But due to the Sun Flares recently my internet and computer along with all my electronics have been acting wacky so I'm sorry for no card yesterday I couldn't get in to post it! Dang electronics! Any way! Here's yesterdays card!

Here's what I used!!

Kraft Cardstock

White Gel Pen

Stampin' Up! 3 Hearts Punch

Corner Rounder

Cosmo Cricut Floral Paper Pad

Let's get started!!

Here I used the standard 4-1/4x5-1/2 and then I cut a piece of floral pattern paper from the Cosmo Cricut pad if you eyeball it the paper should look something like above. Then I rounded the corners of the inside pattern paper and the card itself. But I only did the top left and bottom right corners.

 Basically I did eyeball this again, but I trimmed the kraft cardstock 1-1/2x 3-5/8. I then added some dimensional adhesive to the back of it.

Here I used my heart punch and punched out four hearts out of two different pieces of patterned paper from the Cosmo Cricut paper pad again. I then adhered them vertically down the center of the Kraft square. Also place the kraft square higher on the card and leave a little space for a sentiment.

I added some stitching down the middle of the hearts, and then around the entire card. Next I used the My Minds Eye Clear Stamp Set and used some black ink. And that's it! Simple and easy!! Thanks for tuning in!

 

30 Day Card Challenge Card # 5 - LOVE Pattern

Ok so this was today's card plan! I decided to make something a little easier! It's so easy you'll be like 'Shut the Front Door!' easy. So let's get started!!

Here are the supplies used.. but ignore the pink ribbon again! I used red organza ribbon instead!

Stampin' Up! Heart Punch

Red Gems

Red Organza Ribbon

Love Me Paper Pad

Red Cardstock

Keep reading for the tutorial! : )

Ok so the LOVE is from the LOVE ME paper pad and I just cut it out. The paper pad is 6x6 so I made my base cardstock 3x6 or I cut it out at 6x6 and scored at 3". So I just trimmed the LOVE and adhered it to the card.

Here I used patterned paper from the same paper pad that matched the hearts under the LOVE. I cut it 1-1/8x6 and adhered it above the LOVE.

I cut the red organza ribbon at 7-1/2 and wrapped it around the card just above the line of paper.

Here I punched out with my Heart Punch the above pattern and added a dimensional to the back. The I put the smaller red gem on the heart and addhered it to the blank space of the card.

Thanks for tuning in! Ill see you tomorrow!! : )

30 Day Challenge Day Card # 3 - Friend Medallion

Hey everyone, I decided to stick with the medallion theme today : ). I wanted to make this card a little more masculineish haha minus the hearts.. But I love the punch! hahaha! But any way enjoy the tutorial!

Ok here is the supplies! I forgot to add the heart punch in this oopsies! But it wasn't hard to make!

Little Black Dress 6x6 paper pad

Stampin' Up! Teeny Tiny Stamp Set

White Gel Pen

Stampin' Up! Corner Rounder

Stampin' Up! 3/4 Circle Punch

Stampin' Up! 3 Hearts Punch

Scallop Edge Scissors

Kraft Cardstock

Black Ink

Martha Stewart Circle Cutter

There you go! Oh! and a little disclaimer.. The Marth Stewart Circle punch I use takes some practice to get used to.. I'd suggest putting it on a cuttlebug B Mat where it's raised up. But also the cutter blade is super super sharp so just be Careful! : )

I cut a piece of Kraft Cardstock 1-1/8 x 5 inches. Then I used some of the assorted patterned paper from the paper pad I cut them into various strip sizes. I then added adhesive to the cardstock and layerd the strips of paper diagonally.

The result should look something like this! Finish all the way to the other end layering different patterns next to each other. Once that was finished I turned it around and cut the excess off.

I adhered the patterned design we just made on to the standard        4-1/2 x 5 Kraft cardstock. Then I eyeballed the size of the width of the black cardstock but the length of it is 5 inches long. I then used the scallop scissors and trimmed the edge. I layered it over the strips of paper and adhered it down.

With the Martha Stewart Circle Cutter I cut out the creme patterned paper from the paper pad. The size of the circle is 2-7/16 And then with my circle punch I punched out a bunch of circles. I added adhesive to the edge of the circle and added then all around the edge on the back.

This is what the finished medallion should look like : )

Now add the medallion to the card and trim the edge of the piece hanging off the card.

I stamped in black ink this sentiment.

Finally I punched out hearts and adhered it to the middle of the medallion. I rounded the top orners of the card. Lastly I added some white stitching to the card. I hope you enjoy this card as much as I did! Thanks for tuning in! : )

Stay tuned in for 26 more days of cards!



30 Day Challenge Card #2 - Heart Medallion

Afternoon everyone! Today was a beautiful day and it was so sunny and spring is finally here! I'm so excited and happy! So I hope you enjoy this card! Read on for more!

So today! I used these supplies!

Martha Stewart Circle Cutter

Love Me Paper Pad

Stampin' Up! Corner Rounder

Stampin' Up! 3 Hearts Punch

Creme Cardstock

Red Ink Pad

Sentiment of your choice

That's it! : )

Here I cut out 2 circles. The red circle is 2.5 inches and the pink circle is cut at 2 inches. But I decided to cut out 3 more creme circles to off set the hearts I'll be adhering to the circles. One is two sizes smaller than the pink circle, the second one is two sizes larger than the pink circle, and the thrid creme circle is two sizes larger than the red circle. Sorry for the confusion!

I punched out little hearts with my 3 Hearts Punch, I used the zig zag pattern in the Love Me Pad.



Here I took the dotted pattern paper and eyeballed the size and adhered it!

As you can see I punched out all the small hearts and adhered them around the red circle.

A lot went on in this photo. I punched out more small hearts from different patterned paper in the Love Me pad. I then adhered them around the pink circle. As I said before I cut out three more creme circles. One has 3 hearts from the Stampin' Up! 3 hearts punch out of the dotted paper and adhered to the smallest creme circle. I added dimensionals to the back of the creme circle. I adhered it to the pink circle and then second creme circle onto the back of the pink circle. Now I adhered the red circle to that and the last creme circle to the back of the red circle.... Gosh! Sounds like a lot huh? If your confused comment and I can make a video how to make medallions.

So here I cut two pieces of creme cardstock and trimmed out a triangle at the end of both then I stamped my sentiments onto them in red ink. I adhered them under the medallion. You can round the corners if you like to.. but I decided not to. The medallion is the finishing touch! Enjoy! Keep staying tuned to the card challenge! Thanks!
