Ladies and gentlemen, Crystal....

 

Hi crafty friends! Crystal here again on this wonderful Saturday celebrating National Ballpoint Pen Day(I'm not kidding)! What better way to celebrate than making a card, writing something in it (with your ballpoint pen) and sending it out. 

I chose to make a card without stamping! I can't believe that's allowed on a stamping site, yet it turned out pretty cute. For this, I am mixing some newer and older Cutaways from Winnie & Walter. 

First I started by trimming a piece of patterned paper and adhered to the card base. Next, using Winnie & Walter's Cover Model: Multifaceted Cutaway I die cut on white card stock using my Big Shot. I did not take out all the triangles, just the center ones. Carefully placing adhesive on the back of each triangle so they don't fall out when I mail this. Then adhering the die cut to the patterned paper.

To continue with the no stamping, I die cut vellum using "ticket" die from Essentials: Lana Cutaways, and wrapped silver thread and white twine to it, then glued that to the base.

The "congrats" is from the Spring release In a Word: Congrats Cutaway  using black card stock, and then placed on card base with 3D foam adhesive.  Voila, the card is ready for some penmanship and be mailed out! Don't forget about the ongoing giveaway! Comment on my corresponding Winnie & Walter post on my blog for a chance to win a $30 gift certificate. There will be 4 posts for the month of June, giving you 4 entries to win.

Thanks so much for your time today!

Hope you have a great week! Crystal

Congrats with Keren

Hello everyone! So happy to be joining you today to share a project linked in the Birthday Challenges. I hope you've had a look at some of the brilliant entries, or better still, had a go at a challenge or two!

The challenge I've hosted is called 'Off The Page' and is all about taking your card design off the page and extended past the edges of the card base. You can quite easily just push an element slightly over the edge or do something way past. Much further than a cm or two requires a little 'structure' and so here's how I created an acetate girder!

I'd hide the'workings' with some more cardstock or a little patterned paper and if you wanted to hide it completely, you could add some smaller flowers on the reverse of the acetate semi-circular frame. The front gives an almost floating impression.

I've used the In Bloom; Elsa's Flora set  plus the fab new die In A Word: Congrats Cutaway. The flowers were stamped and white heat embossed then coloured with Zig Clean Color Markers. Add a dash of sequins and some cardstock attached at angles and you have a 'simpler than you think' card!

I'd love to see you join in with my challenge- or any of the other 9. You've got until March 6th to enter and link up your project. All the details(including links to all challenges) are found on this post and with so many prizes and a guest spot up for grabs, you're bound to find one challenge that inspires you. 

Hope you're enjoying this month long celebration and hope to see you soon.
