For this week's card class, I took out the set Lovely Arrangements and the pretty papers that coordinate with it. The papers have pre-printed sections with flowers that you can cut out or die cut for your card fronts. I have to say, I just love making these cards and using the pretty papers.
Our first card is made using Everyday Arches to cut out the floral panel from the designer papers. I added a fun circle die to the edge to accent the focal piece. I embossed the white cardstock and added a saying from the stamp set along with some ribbon and bling. That's pretty much it and look what a beautiful card it is! I got the idea from Robin Daus.
The next card is made in pretty much the same way, only this time I used the Party dies banners for the focal point. I added a circular saying mounted on a blue scalloped die. I got the idea for this card from Tracy Bradley.
The third card is made using the stamps and dies and takes much longer than just using the papers. I die cut the arch die and trimmed it at the bottom so it would fit on my card. I stamped and added three flowers and some sprigs. The top flower and the saying have dimensionals under them to give a little lift to the card. I saw this idea from Heidi Collins.
Everyone enjoyed this class and the simplicity of the cards. The next day I made more cards.
Look how pretty this card is using the Crumb Cake and Olive Green colors. It's made the same way as the first card, only using designer paper instead of the white embossed layer.
This one has a smaller printed image from the designer papers. I ended with a total of 12 cards, but seriously, I could make them all day.
