Love you . . . more . . .

Love you . . . more 


   

My 5" x 7" card uses a digital image and sentiment from Beccy's Place.
I opened the "Simple Flower Bunch" image and "Love you" sentiment from the Simple Sentiments digital stamp set and overlayed them together (inspired by Beccy's card HERE) to complete the design.  I printed the image panel on X-Press It Blending Card, coloured with Copic markers, trimmed to size, matted on textured cardstock, trimmed to size using a Perfect Layers Ruler, adhered on to a 5" x 7" panel, then adhered the panel to a top folding card base.  I made the card base by cutting two 5" x 7" 300gsm smooth cardstock panels, scoring the "top back" at 3/4" then adhering the top panels together.
 
... I used this same "Simple Flower Bunch" image and design style with the "Enjoy the little things" sentiment to make a second card HERE
 
 

I used this same "Love you" sentiment and a "Simple Flower" image
from the Simple Sentiments digital stamp set
to make a CAS card filled with love HERE

Aloe love . . .


   

My card used two digital images and a sentiment from Beccy's Place.  I opened the "Little Aloe" and "Little Pot" images and "With love" sentiment from the "A Little Something" and assembled them together to complete the design.  I printed the image panel on X-Press It Blending Card, coloured with Copic markers, trimmed to size, matted on textured cardstock, trimmed using a Perfect Layers Ruler, adhered on to a brown panel, then adhered the panel to a top folding 5" x 6" card base and no, I don't know what happened, it was meant to be a 5" x 7" card but I must have been a bit over zealous when trimming the image panel down to size.  I made the card base from 300gsm smooth cardstock, adhering two panels at the top, with the back panel scored at 1" to allow the card to open and stand.
  
... needless to day ... I love this sentiment and image combo ...

My pair of slimline (3 1/2" x 8 1/2") cards use two digital images and a sentiment from Beccy's Place.  I opened the "Little Aloe" and "Little Pot" images and "With love" sentiment from the "A Little Something" and assembled them together to complete the design.  I printed the image panels on X-Press It Blending Card, coloured with Copic markers, trimmed to size, matted on textured cardstock, trimmed using a Perfect Layers Ruler, adhered on to 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" panels, then adhered the panels to top folding slimline card bases.  I made the card bases from 300gsm smooth cardstock.



... you may have already guessed, but I have to confess,
I love this sentiment and image combo ...

With more love . . .

  Today I had some fun making some 5" x 7" cards
using a digital stamp from the Beccy's Place Store,
digital sentiments, also from Beccy's Place and
combined them with some fussy cutting and layering.
No, you're not seeing things, this is my fourth card today.  It's the same image as the third one shared earlier, except I have mirrored then rotated the image, used a different sentiment and made a top folding landscape card.


I printed the image panel on white textured cardstock, trimmed to size, matted with Apricot Weave cardstock, trimmed to 1/16" border using a Perfect Layers Ruler, adhered to a 5" x 7" cardstock panel, then adhered the panel to a top folding card base.
I made the card base by cutting two 5" x 7" 300gsm smooth cardstock panels,
scoring the "top back" at 3/4" then adhering the top panels together.
I printed off an extra large flower and if you look closely,
you will be able to see the subtle dimension it adds to the card.

Some days you need to do some "scissor therapy".
Although my hands were hurting, I fussy cut a large flower to go on the front of each of my four cards and it felt good to see them slightly curled in readiness for gluing.  I went around the edges of each flower with my Memento Tuxedo Black Ink dual tip marker, so that no white edges were visible.



   

And here is a pic of the card I mentioned earlier (3rd for the day).  The image is mirrored, then rotated and the same sentiment used.

And here it is compared to my second card, the images are
mirrored and different sentiments used.
