Two Quick and Easy Cards

I made this using a kraft blank from Craftwork Cards and two of these kraft flowers.  I used the pieces which I popped out of the petals on the large flower to create a third flower.  The sentiment is an In Circle message and I finished the card off with some Candi.

 

 

For my second card I used paper from the Flower Fusion Paper Pack - the flowers were cut using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die.  I added crushed Candi round the the edges of a black and silver frame before attaching the flowers to the frame and adding more crushed Candi to form the centre of the flower.  Again the sentiment is an In Circle message.

 

 

Here is a close up of the frame:

 

 

Hanging Flowers

Here's a little something I made using these kraft flowers from Craftwork Cards.  Unfortunately I didn't get a good full picture of this hanging up but here are photos of the three individual flowers.  Each of these was made by gluing three kraft flowers together.  I made the curly centres by using one of the kraft flowers with long petals, cutting down the centre of each petal and then twisting them. I then attached small die cut flowers (Tim Holtz - Tattered Florals die) to the centres of the curly flowers and added a piece of crushed Candi to finish them off.

The three completed flowers are attached together with twine and I threaded this through several pieces of Candi above each flower.

Here is one of the flowers laid on its side so you can see the dimension of it.

And finally a picture of the whole thing laid down:

I must say I was very pleased with this - I had a 'lightbulb moment' in the middle of the night about sticking the the flowers together to create something dimensional!

Happy New Year - Card 4

Here's the final card of the the four:

 

 

Again I think this shows how well the papers work together.

Happy New Year - Card 3

And here's the third card:

This time I cut some of the flowers in half to create a different effect.  I'll post the fourth one tomorrow.

Happy New Year - Card 2

Here's the second card which I made:

These papers co-ordinate together really well.

I'll be back tomorrow with the third card.

Happy New Year!

I've made four Happy New Year cards using Lost and Found papers by My Mind's Eye which I bought from Craftwork Cards.  I'll post these over the next few days.

Here's the first one:

I used the Printer's Block stamps from Craftwork Cards to create the lettering on all of the four cards.  These are my all time favourite stamps from Craftwork Cards.
