Diagonal Card

Good Morning stamping friends. I have a corner fold or sometimes called a corner tuck.

I used a plain light blue color for the card matt and used the free as a bird designer paper, I believe that was the name of it, it’s an older paper, it coincides with the blue card-stock, but (oops I just noticed a boo-boo, I placed the designers paper upside down. LOL) 

I cut out two butterflies to embellish the card and brushed it with ink of Stella to shine it somewhat.  Stamped sip sip Hooray! At the top right corner to finish it up.

I really like this card because it is simple but very spring like.

May I play in this fine challenge?

Fun Scrappy card

 

Good  morning stamping friends.  I  am bring another fun card, this time, it’s a scrappy card, we all know everyone hordes those scraps. (LOL)  When we use leftover scrap papers, each card tells it’s own unique story.  The beauty of a scrappy card lies in its imperfections, where mismatched colors come together to form a charming, one-of-a-kind design.  It’s about personal touch and the joy of recycling material into something beautiful.  Whether it’s for a birthday, a thank-you note, or just a little surprise, a scrappy handmade card feels thoughtful and special, radiating warmth and creativity in every layer.

All I used was three scraps of desired measurement, glued to the top of a die cut scalloped cardstock.   A beautiful embossed flower always sets a beautiful scene, place a gem in the center of the flower and viola!

LATTICE OF LIFE

 

Hello my stamping friends, 

One design that consistently catches the eye is the lattice card with cascading flowers.

This design isn’t just visually stunning—it tells a story. It merges intricate geometric shapes with nature’s organic beauty, creating a card that feels both sophisticated and charming. Let’s dive into what makes the lattice card with cascading flowers so special, and why it might just be the perfect card for your next project.

 The beauty of a lattice card with cascading flowers lies in its understated elegance. The intricate design doesn’t need to be overly embellished; the natural beauty of the flowers and the geometry of the lattice speak for themselves.  I also forgot to mension the this card is also a Z-fold.

Here is the measurements I use to make this card;

card base:  4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 2 3/4, 5 1/2

Insert:  white cardstock 3 1/4 x 9 and scored at 2 1/4 , 4 1/2, 

for the front

pink DSP: 3 x 4 1/4 layer this goes on top of the white cardstock.

green DSP:  2 5/8 x 4 , this goes behind the Trellis. 

die-cut some flowers and sprigs and use it to embellish the 

trellis.  Add a sentiment of your choice.

the middle of the flowers have a small clear gem, that gives the card some character.

Toadily, Ana Raposo

 

 

    

    

   

 

Swallowtail butterfly

 

Hello my stamping friends, I am here again to show you my swallowtail butterfly card.

may I tell you how I made it?

First let me tell you who I cased this card from, cardsTV, if you want to go to her site 

and check hers out, I have linked her site below.

http://cardztv.blogspot.com I

 have a regular card base in white which is 4 1/4 by  5 1/2".

I opt for a black matt in the size of 4 x 5 1/4".

I took an already DSP with a white center, so I could rub a fine sandpaper through

it to get the white effect.

I then die cut a open window type die in white and topped it to the others.

The decoration was a swallowtail butterfly that I had die cut a long time ago and glued

it to the card and also added a sentiment.

The embellishment will come after.
