As
well as the samples I have made using the images:
Basic directions:
All cards are made with cream color cardstock for the card base and everything is inked in Close To My Heart Saddle brown. Card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 folded in half. and card fronts are 5 1/4 x 4.
Card 1: "You Are The Apple of my Eye"
The card front is paper from my stash, the apple I found on google images (if you can not find a embellishment, go to google images and type in what you are looking for print it out and then cut !!!) I put a pop dot behind the leaf to pop it out and tied some brown and white bakers twine around the stem. The words are stamped with small alpha stamps.
Card 2: "For You"
I rounded the corners on this card...... makes for a softer looking card. The card front is paper from Gecko Galz from the Neverland paper set. I punched out a flower and matted the image with paper from my stash. and put a button in the middle of the flower and tied a bow with brown and white bakers twine and glued it to the middle of the button. The words are stamped with small alpha stamps.
Card 3: "You Are My Sunshine"
Card front was another google image of sunshine (amazing what you find on google). The ribbon is American Crafts sheer in a yellow color. The words are stamped with small alpha stamps.
Christmas Ornament: "Baby's First"
Paper i used for the ornament was Gecko Galz Winter Wonderland paper set called Bizzard. I used the ornament die from spellbinders (cutting a front and back). I used a piece of silver to make the ornament cap. The image was matted with blue cardstock and the ribbon was American Craft blue sheer. I used a small white tag and wrote Baby's 1st on it with a brown pen. It is tied on with brown and white bakers twine.
Hope you enjoyed my projects,
Barbara
