Hi friends!  I made this card using the new Couture Creations Tied Together die.  Doesn't this die create a gorgeous background?  Similar to the Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms die that I use on everything lately, this is fast becoming one of my go-to favorites. 

I love Clean and Simple cards but just can't seem to ever make them work.  What starts as CAS usually quickly turns to Cluttered and Complex. I had additional embellishment ideas but I thought maybe I could stop at this point and possibly salvage a CAS style card.

I cut the Couture Creations Tied Together die with white card stock.  The die is a bit longer than an A2 size card so I trimmed it.  I then cut a center  rectangle from the front of my card base using a Spellbinders Curved Matting Basics die.  I glued the Tied Together die cut to the underside of the card front then glued a piece of Authentique Favorite paper behind the to finish off the inside. I added rhinestones to the centers of the die cut.

Next, I rounded the bottom corners using a corner rounder.  I then cut a frame using two Spellbinders Curved Matting Basics sets.  I adhered the frame to the card using Joy Foam Pads.  It might be difficult to see in the photo but the layering really adds to the overall dimension.

I cut the Enjoy die and colored it with my Mini Ink Blending Tool and tumbled glass Distress Ink before glittering it with a Wink of Stella pen and gluing it to the card front.

Last, I cut the Heartfelt Cretions Arianna Blooms flower.  I left it in the die while I dabbed tumbled glass distress ink around the edges with the blending tool.  Coloring it in the die created  a small white edge around the flowers. I popped it out of the die, shaped it with my Paper Blossoms Tool Kit,  added Rock Candy to the center and adhered it to the card front with Joy Foam Pads.

Kraftin Kimmie Rapunzel

Hi!  I created this as an inspiration card for the new Anything Goes (With a Twist) Challenge at Crafting by Designs. 

I was in a princess mood.  I think Rapunzel may be retired, but there are so many other adorable Kraftin' Kimmie stamps available with new releases monthly.  My wishlist is a mile long, KKS images are always cute, fun and sometimes sassy!  They just announced a guest DT call on the FB Page, and I submitted this card.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed, wish me luck!

This originally began as a tag but things kept changing direction.  There are so many different dies on this card.  I just kept pulling out supplies.  

The MFT layered pink roses were colored with glimmer mist and copics. The Marianne Design purple leaf die cuts were colored with distress ink.  The greenery was cut from green paper with a Penny Black die and sponged with distress ink and the ends colored with gold Smooch paint.

Rapunzel was colored with copics and glittered with clear stickles.  The Die-Namics flourish die was embossed with two types of gold embossing powder.  The Magnolia banner and Sue Wilson French Collection Corner die (under the flowers) were embossed with Frantage embossing powder.

I added some sequins in spots, and voila!  I framed this in my daughter's room.  I had a collection of empty frames and shadowboxes on her wall and figured maybe it was time to fill them before she becomes a teenager. My Kraftin' Kimmie Cinderella Card ended up there too, now I just need to make her one more princess card and her wall will be done. :)

Classy Cards Wedding Wishes

Happy Thanksgiving!  

I created this card for a friend's wedding.  I love the white on white look for cards, they always feel so crisp and fresh.  I recently put together a fall card with a similar design.  I switched out some of the dies and recreated it in white.

I first used the Spellbinders Gold Labels One die on two opposite sides of the 5.5" square front panel. The Spellbinders Botanical Swirls and Accents die could easily be substituted.  I used cryogen white card stock which has a beautiful shimmer.  The card base is cream.  Since the shimmery card stock was actually more cream than the white I typically use for card bases, I thought the cream underneath looked better and set off the other white nicely.

The flowers were cut from the new Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms die.  I used both of my McGill Paper Blossoms Tool Kits to form the flowers.  For the largest flower I used all of the die cuts and for the smaller flowers I used multiples of the smaller die cuts.  I glued the layers together and added flat-back pearls to the centers.  I adhered the flowers to the card using Joy! Foam Pads.

The leaves are from a Cheery Lynn Leaf Strip die that's no longer in stock at Classy Cards but there are many beautiful Cheery Lynn dies still available.  Use coupon CLD for 40% off!

The Congrats word is a Penny Black die.  Thanks for looking!
