A Small Fruit Scoop

You can't get much simpler than this. I used an Elegant Rectangle as the base and added a panel of Fruit Scoop paper with a paper rose on it. Finally I attached a Fruit Scoop Tiny Sentiment to a punched scalloped oval and used foam pads to stick them to the card.

Très Chic - Gap Card

This gap card was made using two Elegant Rectangles from Craftwork Cards. 

Notched Flowers bridge the gap and I attached these using a glue pen.  As a change from Candi centres I punched circles from one of the Très Chic papers.

Two of my Favourite Things

Botanical papers and Elegant Rectangles from Craftwork Cards!  The Elegant Rectangle is scored across the centre to form a card blank.

I perhaps should have said three of my favourite things because I use my scalloped oval punch (and my scalloped circle one too) from Stampin' Up on a lot of my cards.  I'm not a great lover of punches but these are superb.

Botanical

This card was made from a Ritzy lime Elegant Rectangle scored down the centre.  I attached the Notch tag so that the edge overhangs the spine of the card which makes it look like a file divider.

Enjoy Your Birthday

This card was really quick to make.  I used two Ritzy lime Elegant Rectangles as the base card and added a panel of Botanical paper across the centre of the top one.  To join the two together I scored the back one vertically approx 2 cm in from the left hand edge and used strong double sided tape (to the left of the score line) to stick the two together.

I used Candi in the centre of some of the flowers and added glitter glue to it for a bit of sparkle!  Finally I used foam pads to attach an Oval Message on a puched scallop oval.

Confetti Gap Card

This was made from two Elegant Rectangles - I scored the back one approximately 3cm front the left hand edge.  Next I layered the ice cream paper onto the latte paper and stuck them onto the front rectangle.  I then cut a section out of the front card as shown, stuck the left hand front piece to the back rectangle (by putting strong double sided tape to the left of the score line) and used a small piece of double sided tape to hold the right hand front piece in place over the back rectangle.

The next step was to stick the two Retro Daisies across the gap using a glue pen (taking care just to put glue on the ends of the petals). To finish off I added Card Candy to the left hand edge and to the centres of the flowers, and then stuck an In Circle Message to a punched scallop circle which I stuck next to the bottom Retro Daisy with foam pads.  Finally I carefully removed the removed the small piece of double sided tape to enable the card to open.

Confetti and Crystals

This was made using a Craftwork Cards Elegant Rectangle as the base card.  First of all I added the three strips of paper using double sided tape before sticking the marshmallow paper mounted on ice cream paper to the Mini Elegant Rectangle.  I then stuck this to the card using 1mm foam pads. 

Next I punched a circle from marshmallow card, stuck the In Circle Message to the centre and then stuck both on the Heartfelt Flower.  I used 2mm foam pads to mount this on the card apart from in the area where the Heartfelt Flower overlaps the Mini Elegant square where I used 1mm pads - this meant that the whole of the Heartfelt flower was raised by 2mm - if I had used 2mm pads on the overlap the Heartfelt flower wouldn't be level.

I didn't have any card to match the In Circle Message so punched the flowers from the edges of the In Circle Message sheet - fortunately the flower is only small.  I used a glue pen to stick the 3 flowers onto the Mini Elegant square and then put self-adhesive crystals in the centres.

Just Because

I've used the new Confetti collection from Craftwork Cards yet again for this card.  The base card is an Elegant Rectangle scored down the centre.  I added a piece of latte coloured paper foiled in gold before using foam pads to stick down the die cut daisy and the Petal Point flowers, all of which have Card Candy centres.

Finally I stuck an In Circle message to a Heartfelt Flower and mounted this onto the card using foam pads for dimension.

Confetti

I used two Elegant Rectangles from Craftwork Cards as the base for this.  The papers are from the Craftwork Cards Confetti collection which was launched recently and the flowers are from their most recent Flower Store.  I stuck the bottom flower of each pair to the card using a glue pen and then used foam pads to stick the top flowers on before adding a piece of Card Candy to the centre of each.

To finish off I punched a scalloped oval and added an oval message to the centre of it.

The Other Double Gap Card

This time I chose a hot pink and lime theme - I really like these two colours together. Again I used glitter glue for some sparkle and this card has self-adhesive crystals in the centre of the little daisies for even more sparkle!

Double Gap Card

This is for a 'Gap' card swap on my card group. I had to make two gap cards - I usually do two the same but have done different ones this time so will post the other one tomorrow.

I decided to do something a little different so made two gaps! I used two Elegant rectangles and stuck to a black and lime colour scheme. The picture perhaps doesn't show this but I added glitter glue to the Card Candy for a little sparkle.

Birthday Wishes

Another quick card, again using an Elegant Rectangle. I punched the bird and branch using a Stampin' Up punch. The scallop circle was also punched with a Stampin' Up punch. I also punched a circle from chocolate brown card and mounted it onto the scallop circle before adding the In Circle message.



The papers are by my My Mind's Eye and came from Craftwork Cards.

And another.........

This card was really eay to use make but I think it looks very effective. I love this floral paper and the combination of black and hot pink. I added self-adhesive crystals to the chandelier die cut which finish off the card nicely.

Dotty Daisies

This card was made with a white Elegant Rectangle as the base card. The papers are from the Sugar and Spice collection. I added three die cut daisies and used foam pads on these to give dimension. I also added metallic silver Card Candy to the centre. The scalloped oval was punched from card to match the Card Candy and I used an Oval Message in the centre of this.

The Other Way Up

This is another Elegant Rectangle but this time it is portrait as opposed to landscape. The papers are from the Sugar and Spice, and Glitz and Glamour collections. The big flower is a die cut daisy with metallic silver Card Candy in the centre. I punched little daisies and added self-adhesive gems to their centres, and punched a scalloped oval from Sugar and Spice paper then added an Oval Message to the centre of it.

Again this hasn't scanned too well and looks better in the flesh.

Lime and Liquorice Again

Unfortunately the colours on this have not scanned very well - it does look much better in real life.

I've used a black Elegant Rectangle as the base card. The squares are paper from the Carnival and the Glitz and Glamour collection. I punched some little daisies from matching black card and used self-adhesive gems in the centre of them. The scalloped circle was punched with a Stampin Up' Punch , the black circle was punched with my new 1 3/8" circle punch and the the Happy Birthday is an In Circle Message

And again....

Here is yet another gap card mad with Elegant Rectangles. I love the combination of orange and lime. The striped paper is from the Glitz and Glamour collection, the lime paper is from the Carnival collection and the scalloped circle was cut with a Stampin' Up punch and is finished off with an In Circle messag. The flowers are from my Flower Store and have Card Candy centres embellished with glitter glue.

All paper and card is from Craftwork Cards - there's a surprise!!

And again.....

Another gap card but this time I used Beautiful Butterflies to fill the gap. The back of the card is a lime Elegant Rectangle and the front is a Hot Pink one. The striped paper is from the Glitz and Glamour collection and the lime foiled paper is from the Carnival collection. I punched the scalloped circle with a Stampin' Up punch and added an In Circle message to the centre. The card was finished off with three pieces of hot pink Card Candy down the left hand side.

Elegant Rectangles are my favourite Craftwork Cards product at the moment.

Another Gap Card

Here is another gap card. This time I have used a hot pink Elegant Rectangle for the back of the card and a lime one for the front. The striped paper is from the Glitz and Glamour collection and the pink foiled paper is from the Carnival collection. The flowers were from my Flower Store and I punched the butterfly and scalloped circle from matching lime card. The circle was finished off with an In Circle message and the flowers were finished off with pink Card Candy covered in glitter glue.

It goes without saying that everything used was from Craftwork Cards apart from the butterfly punch (Martha Stewart) and the scalloped circle punch (Stampin' Up).

Owls

Here is another card which I made for a swap on my card group. Once again I have used Elegant Rectangles as a base card. The papers are some fab 12 x 12s that I got from Craftwork Cards and are manufactured by My Mind's Eye (Quite Contrary collection).

The scalloped circle was punched with my Stampin' Up punch and I added an In Circle message to the middle of it. I also edged the panel of owls with glitter glue - I always said I couldn't use glitter glue for edging but I am improving with practice!!
