Clever built-in card pocket gift wrap technique by Martha Stewart.
October Afternoon Woodland Park scraps on a white tag, and here's the gift wrap room, where it's all about the bow. Happy Friday!
I can't call them chevrons (love that post)...so today's card features parallelograms forming a zig zag pattern. I'd call this a fishbone pattern, eh?
MFT zig zag die; layout inspiration and technique learned here. Patterned paper is Bazzill Avalon scraps and vellum is Bazzill.
A Muse sentiments; handmade envelope of course. Finished card size is a cute 3.25 x 5.25 inches. Happy fussy piecing!
Orla Kiely wrapping paper plus Memory Box dies equals fun.
Memory Box: Vintage Apothecary and Candy Jar dies, Cotton Candy, Red Pepper cardstocks and sentiment. Thanks for stopping by today!
Created another Chupa inspired shaped card for today's project (labels 25). Flower is Spellbinders Blossom #1 - cut two from white cardstock and inked with Distress Tattered Rose. Both were wound together and adhered using hot glue; selectively painted petal tips with a paintbrush and Matte Multi-Medium, then dunked into a new jar of Dry Stickles (clear rock candy) and allowed to dry. Shook off excess glitter once medium dried. Suede leaves (used burgundy but they photographed rather reddish-plum).
The pearl bling outline is from Want2Scrap, sentiment is from A Muse and stamped on a Papertrey banner die. Patterned papers are Bazzill Basics 6x6 Kraft and the card base and banner with sentiment is Bazzill Peanut Cluster. Natural crochet ribbon was interwoven with 1/8 inch velvet ribbon.
And what does this card need? Why a custom envelope of course! One-inch depth, created from old MME paper from the stash. Making handmade envelopes using old 12x12 papers from the stash seems to be working - the stash is successfully being reduced in size - ha. Thanks for stopping by today!
Today's project uses a Quietfire sentiment and flourish stamp designed to coordinate with Spellbinders labels one (used the new spellbinders decorative labels one dies as well on kraft cardstock - inked with Distress Walnut Stain before removing die). English doily, black crochet ribbon.
Patterned paper is Bazzill Basics 6x6 in Kraft. Pearl bling is from Zva 5mm Taupe.
Card base is Gina K Luxury Kraft; interior sentiment is from Penny Black and a Martha punch was used on the Bazzill striped strip. Handmade envelope (feeding my addiction...) is an old sheet of Graphic 45. Finished card measures five inches square. Best wishes for a great week!
