Good morning friends
First up, is a shaker card. I didn't actually put the patterned paper back in the bottom panel as then the words didn't show up. I used it inside one of the other cards though. The bottom panel is the shaker part of the card and the top panel has a shadowbox look.
This Anniversary card went to our eldest daughter and her hubby.
For the second card, I kept the panel flat and adhered it to a red card base. Then I went to town adding various die cuts!
I die cut the happy 3 times, and adhered them together to make a sturdy element with some 'lift'. I like the shadows these dimensional embellishments add to a card.
The flowers were popped up with different layers of foam tape, since I always like a little dimension on my cards.
Inside is another flower, more Nuvo drops and a penned sentiment on a stitched scalloped rectangle of coordinating patterned paper. Whew - that was a mouthful!
My third card was made pretty much the same as above, with a stamped and fussy cut image instead of a bunch of die cuts.
The colours from the markers/water brush didn't blend as well as I had hoped sine this was stamped on regular card stock and not water colour paper. But I was happy enough with the finished image. I love this stamp and have sure got my use out of it.
I used a black card base to make everything pop, and inside you will see the stitched rectangle that didn't get added back into it's opening on the first card.
Earlier this year I decided I needed to add this MFT die to my collection and I'm so glad I did! It cuts a panel where the top and bottom sections fall away and leave you with a sectioned frame. Since I enjoy making shaker cards I thought it would be perfect. And it is! But I find other uses for the Horizontal Cover Up die as well, so today I'm sharing three cards I made using it.
I cut the Horizontal Cover Up three times each from a different but coordinating patterned paper. Then it was simply a matter of re-arranging the pieces so that each card had a different pattern in the two openings! This gave me three pretty card panels and there were no leftover bits. Love that.
