Colour Cards

I went to my team Meeting last week and got this card set as a gift from my Upliner Sherry - thank you!! I LOVE THEM!!!

They are so simply made but give a big bunch. See how the Colour Chart I shared yesterday would have been helpful in making these cards? I love how each card shows four different shades of each colour family - and how they aren't all from the same colour group (ie. Brights, Regals etc) The ribbon used is the new grosgrain ribbon in the catalogue in the new In Colors - I am totally lovin these new colours and can't get enough of them!

Thanks again Sherry for these great cards and to all of you have a Dee-Litefully creative day!

Flower Frenzy

 An other Team Meeting card today. For this team meeting we had a Shoe Box swap, which is where a couple of the other demonstrators designed cards and we got to Make and Take the cards that they designed. This card was designed by Shelia and, you guessed it, uses In Color. How much do I love the Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey? SOO MUCH! For this card we placed the oval cut out on top of the white background and then we ran both of them through the Big Shot - makes a great effect and makes it look like there is a window there.

Looking at the side view you can see that this card is folding along the short edge making it s a taller vertical card - just changes it up a little bit doesn't it? I curled the ends of my big flower a bit to give it a bit more dimension and pop.

A great meeting and an other great card!

Clean In Color

Here is a card that we made at the Team Meeting last week. Isn't this a clean looking card? It goes to show you that you don't need to add a bunch of "stuff" to make a beautiful card. Again this card uses In Colors (all of cards are using these colours and I LOVE that!) I have never thought of using ribbon in this way before and I am going to start. It is a great way to show off ribbon but not have to use a lot of it - and as we all know I am not very good at tying! The postage stamp punch as well as the Itty Bitty Punch set some rhinestones and we were done. This card is so versatile just change the sentiment and you could have any number of cards. What do you think - could this be used as a masculine card?

Have a Dee-Litefully creative day

Pinwheel

This was a fun card to make! And way easier than it looks! Used some of the new DSP - which you can buy now!! So here lets get to it!

• Mossy Meadow 5 1/4 X 4"
• Very Vanilla cut at 5 X 3 3/4" and use the scallop punch along the bottom edge
• Cut two squares of the Mossy Meadow 2 5/8 X 2 5/8, glue these together to make your base for the pinwheel
• Cut 8 pieces of DSP 1 1/4 X 1 1/4
• place them on the pinwheel tucking them behind each other *hint don't glue down squares until you have placed three of them down. Use your TomBow glue and just tack down the ends of the squares, once you have them all placed then use more TomBow to fully glue them down*
• Add a pearl jewel to the centre
• Put some dimensionals on the back add your sentiment and you are done

There you have it. Easy!

 

Now go and get creative!

Dots a Lot

So simple! So quick! This card came together in five minutes and it so nice (if I do say so myself!) Notice the colors? They are new In-Colors again and you are going to be seeing a lot of them because they are my new favourites! For this card, I used my 3/4" circle punch, 1" squares in each color, Word of Art stamp set (again!) and voila! Clean, crisp, simple and neat - my favourite!

Dee-litefully Yours,

Mini Box of cards

 

 

I was playing around in my craft room this weekend (thank you Sweetie! He took the kids and left me to be for 3 glorious hours!) I made this cute little 3X3 card box and five cards with the new In Colors! Aren't they great!?! I will admit that I didn't love them when I first saw them but now I love how rich the colors are!

 

These five cards were so easy to make and they were the very first 3X3 cards I have done. I wanted to keep them simple and really showcase the colors so I kept everything clean and easy. I decided to try and use my score pad to make some indentations on the card base. It really just added to the overall design and sharp lines of the cards.

 

The box was made with a piece of paper Sahara Sand 5 1/4 by 10" and embellished with some of the new DSP. The stamp is from my new favourite (and go-to) stamp set Work of Art.

The five cards fit perfectly into the box and it would make a great gift for someone (a teacher or friend perhaps?) I am going to be giving these as a Door Prize for my workshop (less than a week to go!)

 

I hope you are as Dee-lited with this little post as I am!
