"Leftovers" card

Hello :)

Today I would like to show you, how I created my card.

I used some small pieces of paper, they are leftovers from my other projects -

so sometimes I'm making "leftovers" cards :)

They are great for any occassion and don't need any special preparations.

My card is just an example how to compose few items into one nice card :)

We need:

 - cardstock base (kraft one);

- few pieces of paper - as we wish;

- some chipboards;

- some flairs;

- self-adhesive tape (two sides);

- 3 D foam squares

Step 1: I adjusted my color paper to the size of my kraft base.

Step 2: I adjusted another piece of paper to this one from background.
It's a bit smaller. It makes an interesting contrast.
I've bended edges of both papers. I've torn it in a few places.

Step 3: I've glued my chipboard into few pieces of paper
 with glue and 3D foam squares to give it some dimention.

Step 4: Now it's time to compose my card. I've added some white thread.

Step 5: I'm adding some 3D foam squares under a flair button.

Step 6: I've glued some chevron chipboards and a flair button.

Step 7. In the end I've added some accents with liquid pearls and few mosaic pieces.
Now it's time to fit my card into cardstock base.

Today, I am here to share a Spring/Summer layout.
I tend to be quite reluctant to use flowers for my boys layout, but each time I do it, I wonder why I don't do it more often! Flowers and delicate colours have also their place on little boy layouts.

 I am in love with this flair, it's so... beautiful!

 And the arrow confetti are perfect to add some dynamism to the layout!

 For this page, I used:

And: Crate Paper + October Afternoon papers, Pink Paislee, Basic Grey and MME products.

I just stopped by today to share this layout I created with my UmWowStudio goodies!

I simply adore this photo of my daddy and all his siblings. I wanted to make this layout bright and fun, because they are happy-go-lucky kind of folks. I started with a painted yellow background. I used the diamond confetti mask to add some white gesso into the background and then added a bit more white gesso using the circle confetti mask. Then I added in some chevron shapes cut from some patterned paper by American Crafts.

I covered my layered squares in white gesso before painting them with blue india ink. I went back over them with more white gesso, using a technique like the one I mentioned in this post. I wrapped some twine around them to top them off.

I also used some white gesso and paint to cover the noted piece from the arrow title mash and added a bit of patterned paper behind it.

Hello :)

I am not good at creating Easter cards (Happy Easter everyone!!) but I do love to create cards, that can uplift someone's mood :) Here is one of them.

Background paper and sticker with text is from 7 Dots Studio. The focal point is beautiful flair from UmWowStudio - Wild Flowers Set.

I have altered UmWowStudio Heart Confetti chipboard pieces with gesso and than I applied Color Shine pink spray. 

Here and there I sprinkled also some micro beads.
