Well, had to post this project right the way
And I am blaming Valentine (my partner for this swap). She was very anxious about this part of the project. She almost destroyed my card by trying to tear the inner jar out (like there was a sweet jam inside and she had to get it out NOW)
So this card is a piece of moving art... LOL
I really like how this one came out!!!
All secrets are in the video (pss.. no tutorial though) I need to hear some requests...
Thank goodness Valentine took a few pictures of my card (bcs I totally forgot)
Hello, my friends!
Today I would like to share with you beautiful shabby chic card that I made for the one on one "Shabby Chic Christmas in July" swap at "NSK&Friends"
I am very proud of this project... It came out absolutely beautiful and very shabby.
For the base, I used standard Recollections 4 by 6 card with an envelope.
I used at list three layers of color-coordinated rectangular die-cut mats: Pink, Blue, and Cream to create a nesting layered effect, by using nesting card mats set if dies with the decorative dotted edge.
Tip: Stretch your supplies... After cutting out all nesting cardstock mats use their center space to die-cut extra decorative elements (in my case flourishes). see the video...
When all nesting layers were secured on the card I added half of Recollection decorative paper doily and touched it under next layer of a 3D decorative window frame.
The 3D decorative window frame was made out of two layers of cream cardstock: 1st - with a printed image of Russian Magnolia Tilda dolls and 2nd - die-cut decorative window frame (using Spellbinders die). I used a hot glue to create a space between those layers by adding a small 3D dots.
Tip: How to hide a glue? After you adhered anything sometimes you have a glue spacks showing on the edges... very unpleasant and unfinished look. Simple fix: add more glue (glossy accents for example) and while its wet sprinkle some glitter. Let it dry. The finished product looks very sparkling and nice.
Now that all layers are ready to be attached we can add all decorative elements...
Top left corner I decorated with Recollections half paper doily, some Spellbinders Floral die-cuts that been frosted, two of Prima flowers and a leaf applique from NSK
On the diagonal - right bottom corner I touched another Xmas Prima poinsettia and some die-cut ephemera from "Santa Baby" collection with the second half of applique leaf and frosted die-cut paper flourishes.
On the bottom of the card, slightly overlapping the decorative 3D frame
Inside the card, I use scrap part from Recollections paper doily to create a pocket corner and touch in the rest of die-cut flourishes and decorate it with a scrap piece of Prima 'Santa Baby" die-cut embellishments...
I think this card came out absolutely adorable...
What do you think?
Thank you for stopping by and spending some time with me...
Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
Hello my dear friends,
Today I would like to share with you a quick Birthday card project.
It is Parisian themed and challenge inspired..
I pulled from Pinterest few Parisian/fashion illustrations ...
and choose one to work with..
I wanted to make a shaker card, so I cut multiple layers of paper to create a window, used some cellophane from packaging, die cut decorative border out of paper line; sprinkle some sequence and
Ta-Da!!!
Love how this card turned out!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by and spending some time with me,
Hugs, Natasha
Hello my friends,
I needed to make few Christmas cards for childrens hospital as an entry to "Cards & Teddy's for kids & seniors challenge"
so it had to be something very simple... I searched Pinterest on that subject and came up with few card designs...
There cards were made with ribbons
Here I used washi tapes and glittered foam with cotton balls
And these are made with buttons and Christmas stickers....
I think all of them came out adorable!
I recorded the process of assembling these cards, so if you need to know how - watch the video below...
Thank you so much for stopping by, have a great day!
