New Cards

*If you are here for the Paper Trunk Blog Rock, please scroll down :)

Since the doctor put me in a cast Friday, I am able to do much more YAY!!!! Of course one of the first things I did was to sit down and create some new cards.

This card I made for a challenge at For The Luv of Art. The challenge was to make a project using their banner as inspiration. Recently, I purchased both new lines from The Girls' Paperie, and the On Holiday line seemed perfect for this challenge.

I cut the banners straight from a piece of patterned paper. Then I placed each banner on a piece of kraft cardstock, and cut around it with Fiskars Mini Scallop scissors. I added the red rhinestones at the tip of each banner.

Supply List:
Cardstock: American Crafts, Bazzill; Patterned Paper: The Girls' Paperie On Holiday; Rhinestone: My Mind's Eye Lush Red Rhinestones; Jute: Papertrey Ink; Swiss Dots Embossing Folder by Provo Craft; Scalloped Die: Papertrey Ink; Sentiment: Daisy Bucket; Red Pom Trim: Stash.


Here is my second card using October Afternoons Fly A Kite.




I cut a 5 inch circle from white cardstock with my circle cutter. I then cut a 5 1/2 inch circle from kraft cardstock. I embossed the white cardstock, and used my Fiskars mini scalloped scissors on the kraft cardstock. I hand cut the "hills", and I think this was actually the most time consuming. I used my Nestabilities Long Rectangle (small) for the tag. I also punched a strip od white cardstock to add behind the tag. The rub-on is from Daisy Bucket.

Supply List:
Cardstock: American Crafts, Bazzill: Patterned Paper: October Afternoon Fly A Kite; Doily: Little Yellow Bicycle; Rub-On: Daisy Bucket; Jute: Papertrey Ink; Buttons, Ric Rak, and Raffia: Stash; Tools: Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, Fiskars Mini Scalloped Scissors, Nestabilities Long Rectangle (small), Stampin' Up!

Well, I hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day weekend. We spent the yesterday at my parents. My brother is home!!! Anyway, enjoy whatever you do. Thank y'all for your sweet comments about the Gallery Idol :)
