Criss Cross Card

The criss cross card has been around for a long time.  You can keep your card simple or embellish it as much as you like.   All images are from Digital Delights.

Cut two 4 1/2″ x 11″ pieces of cardstock

Score both pieces at 5 1/2″

Place your cardstock in at an angle as shown.

Trim your cardstock after placing the cardstock in an angle.

Your two pieces of cardstock should look like this.

Fold trimmed pieces of cardstock inwards.

Glue the back of one of the trimmed cardstock and adhere to look like the photo above.

You will need two pieces of designer paper, size 3 1/4″ x 5″.  Cut each piece of DP on an angle as shown above.  Be sure to cut each piece in a different direction so that both pieces of DP are upright.

Adhere your DP to the card as shown.

Fold flaps over to create a criss cross.  Adhere along the bottom of the right flap.  Adhere along the bottom of the left flap, and from the pencil down to the bottom.

Criss cross is now finished.  It’s time to add the card insert.

Take a 3 1/2″  x 4 3/4″ (shown here in pink) and mat it with  3 3/4″ x 5″

To create a band, cut cardstock to 1 1/2″ x 12″.  Score at 5 5/8″ x 1 1/4″.

Along one side, glue as shown.  Wrap around the card and put pressure on the glued side to the non glued side.  Your band is now complete.

The band will look like this.  Embellish as desired.

The inside of the card is now decorated.

Sunset Skies

Card made using Stampscapes stamps.  I’m addicted to these stamps.  Sky was created by sponging on Adirondack ink pads.

Sweet Dreams

Sweet dreams explains why I have a lack of posts for you.   I’ve been in dream land.  Have you ever felt tapped out?  This feeling has been looming  over me for a month.  I’m trying to pull myself out of this by colouring some images for you.  This is one that I completed this morning.  I will have a tutorial for you next Tuesday.

Stamp:  My Favorite Things

Designer Paper:  Paisley Road from Prima Marketing

White gel pen was used to create dots around the image

Copic markers were used to colour the image

Sealed with a Fish

It’s back to work.  Did you have a nice weekend?  I had a quiet one and today I’m working in my gardens.

I’m excited to tell you that this card is one that has been published in the Technique Junkie Newsletter.  The technique is called Copic Sections.  I love my fish from Mark’s Finest Papers.

Have a terrific day, and don’t forget to come back for Tuesday Tutorial.

Two Sisters

It’s been a while since I worked on something that I really enjoyed.  You may have noticed that I lost my mojo where I have been for the last month.  I’m hoping this watercolour takes me out of my loss of mojo.

Creative Inspirations paint was used on the pink dress.  This photo doesn’t capture the shine that the paint gives.  My designer paper is from Mark’s Finest Papers called Prima Fairy Flora.  The cardstock is from Stampin’ Up!  Colours used:  Cool Caribbean and Pink Piourette.

Whisped Frames technique was also used on my card.

Thank you for stopping by.

Tool Shed

Tool shed?!  What in the heck does this card have anything to do with a tool shed?!  Well, I will explain.

Creative Belli Blog

The Creative Belli Blog has a bi-weekly challenge and today is a new challenge.  It’s all about a tool shed.  No, not a real tool shed.  This neat challenge has us bringing out tools or products that have been long forgotten.  In my case, I brought out my forgotten Cropodile and eyelits.  Remember when eyelits were everywhere?

We would welcome tool shed cards or projects.  All you have to do is link up your card to Mr. Linky for everyone to see.

Watercolour

My Inkadinkado image was painted with watercolour paints.   I created the water and the sunset.  As many of you know, I work in different mediums.

I do thank you for stopping by today.  Have a terrific day.
