Wishing Well Birthday

 Hello!  Here is another card I made for a February birthday. This one was made for a friend and neighbor whose birthday falls right on Valentine's Day. How lucky can you get?!?!

I began with working on the focal point....the wishing well. All the pieces were die cut in brown card stock except for the well and the roof. The well was die cut in a light gray and then shaded with Copic markers and the roof was cut out in Kraft card stock and additional color added with Copic markers. Bakers twine was used to create the rope for the bucket and was adhered prior to putting the wishing well together. After assembling, it was attached with dimensionals to a blue panel. A grass border was added to the bottom of the well and an ivy garland was adhered to the roof and little yellow flowers added. Cloud images were die cut and positioned above the well. Cardinal images were die cut and placed in various positions.

Having finished the focal panel, I then created a frame around it in white card stock.  Next, this was matted with brown card stock and then adhered it to a white base card. As a final step and to add a bit more interest, a sign was manually created using some wood grain digital paper I had in my stash. The wording "Make a Wish" was computer generated. This completed my project.

 

Listed are the products used:

Card Stock: PTI Dark Chocolate; Barely Gray (unknown); GKD  Pure Luxury White, Wild Dandelion, Red Hot; SU Wild Wasabi

Dies:  Sue Wilson Postage Stamp Frame; Rubbernecker Wishing Well, Tiny Flower Buds; Memory Box Fancy Clouds, Mini Clouds; Marianne Designs Ivy Corner; Impression Obsession Grass Border, Cardinal Set

Ink: Memento Desert Sand

Other: Fun Foam, dimensionals, adhesive, Copic markers, digital paper

 

I love how this card turned out and I hope you enjoyed this post.

Sewing Charms Birthday

 Hello, fellow crafters! It is February and I have a birthday card here that I created for my best friend. I chose this sewing theme because sewing is one of her many talents. I used dies from 2 different sewing die sets which I have listed below.

I began by creating by base card in whisper white card stock. I decided on a purple color theme and layered the base card with purple card stock. I added another layer in white card stock which was die cut using a scalloped rectangle frame die. This was then put aside to create the die cut images.

The dress mannequin was cut in black mirror paper. I used digital paper from by stash to cover the torso. The thread spools were die cut in kraft card stock and then sponged lightly with brown ink to make them more realistic looking. White card stock and lighter purple card stock were added to the spools to create the look of thread. The needle, thimble and scissors were die cut in silver mirror paper and the scissor handles were paper pieced with the lighter purple card stock. Finally, the sewing machine was die cut in the lighter purple and the wheel was cut in the darker color and adhered to the machine. Silver mirror paper was used on the sewing machine needle.

After all the images were die cut it was time to position and adhere them to the card. Each image was adhered with either dimensional foam or other adhesive. My project was complete.

Here are the products used:

Card Stock:  GKD Whisper White, Pure Luxury White; SU Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum; Black, Silver Mirror Paper; 

Dies:  DIY Scrapbooking Nested Scalloped Rectangle Frame, Globeland Sewing Die Set, Karen Burniston Sewing Charms die set

Ink:  Memento Desert Sand

Other:  dimensional foam, foam adhesives, glue pen
