Two hearts become one - wedding card

Here is a wedding card I made using Basic Grey items.

It is a 5 x 5" square brown card base. Layers with 4 1/2 x 4 1/2" worn looking light brown pattern paper which I inked all edges of paper and hearts.
I added a little jewlery hang tag on wire that I had in my jewlery crafts it says "adore".

The rub on used says "and two hearts become one" (Basic Grey rub on sheet).

Circle love you card

This is a 5" circle card inked as the base. Taking scraps of patteren paper (which we all have!) cut in variaying lengths at one inch widths and glue them to the middle of the circle. (all items were inked with brown StudioG ink)

Two hearts were inked and one was placed off centered. A rubbed on sentiment was added to the smaller chipboard heart.

Joy aperture card

This is another card from Basic Grey Figgy Pudding card set.
The base card measures at 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" and is a lovely Christmas deep red cardstock.
The aperture is cut at 2" x 2" to allow the sentiment "Joy" to show through.
The decorative paper has the matching square removed and measures at 4" x 5 3/4"

The holly and berries are chipboard pieces inked and glued to the base of the card.

Joy to the World

I love the colors in this card, warm and gentle.

This is a long card that would fit in a business size envelope. It measures 3 1/2" x 8 3/4".
The next layer is a two tone paper (looks like two layers!) and that measures at 2 7/8" x 8 1/4" which I inked.

The tree is an open cut die cut and matching chipboard piece (all from Basic Grey) which I glued together then inked the edges of the tree.

The sentiment is a rub on "Joy to the World", fabulous easy card!

Snowflakes of winter Peace on Earth

This card is made using more Basic Grey paper from the Figgy Pudding Card kit, however I cut out snowflakes from the 2012 Spellbinders Snowflake series and added gems to the center. The circle in the center is embossed which may be hard to see in the photo.
The sentiment is a rub on "Peace on Earth"

Season's Greeting Ornament Card

Here is another Basic Grey Figgy Pudding Card I created and altered.
I added the embossing to the base card stock for a better definition, I think it lends itself to the pattern paper. Embossing folder by Sizzix.

The top pattern piece is 4 1/8" x 1" which I inked.
The bottom piece I added is 1/2" x 4 1/8" and I used the Season's Greetings rub on.

The ornament is glued, inked and mounted on chipboard attached to the gold cord under the top border.

Fuzzy Mittens card

We are having snow this week so it is only fitting that this card make sense. Another 6 in ches or so they say.
With spring around the corner, the snow is still in the air and on the ground. Mittens are needed for sure!

I made this card tonight with a very old Card Kit I bought years ago! It is the Basic Grey Figgy Pudding Card kit. Faboulous colors just my style.

Here is one, I'll be posting various ones throughout the days ahead.

The base card has a slight texture to it, its a light grey/green color which I inked the edges. The next layer is a pattern paperat 3" x 4 1/8" layers with 2 5/8" x 3 3/4" polka dots.

the mittens are glued, inked onto chipboard and the tops of them have fuzzy fibers too cute!
the cross bar piece at the top is 5/8" x 3 5/8" crumpled a bit and inked then glued in place. I tied some string behind the heart (also inked) to make it appear the mittens are hanging from the heart.

Little bird blue

Created this card for my friend who is not feeling well, I used the Martha Stewart border punch, Stampin' Up little bird Sizzix die and a BasicGrey pearl for the eye.

Entering this card in the Anything Goes Challenge blog - for the color blue and one other color (white)

Z Fold card

I love different types of folding - but often go with the plain old fold in half card.
This week at Paper Playtime - we were to do a Z fold card. Here are some great directions from Georgiana. Also folding was a criteria at Craft Catz "fancy Fold" challenge.
I followed her directions and to the front I inked a Prima flower and include a Basic Gery half pearl (bling challenge at Craft and Me). Also added a Tim Holtz swirl inked and a sticker sentiment from K&Company to the front for the challenge at One Stop Craft Challenge.
To the inner layer I added a journaling tags (Stampin' Up punch) for Frosted Designs challenge. There is also Martha Stewart ultra fine glitter on the MS butterflies and folded up for dimension.
After designing this - I think this will be a part of the mini album I am making, I am pleased how this turned out!

Dressing up a candle

I love to re-purpose and dress things up especially when we have all the items at home.
Here are my directions for a candle - you can get these anywhere.
First take the label off - mine was real easy - thank goodness!
Because mine is a 3 oz candle I cut the Basic Grey pp at length of 9" or 23 cm and the width at 1 1/4" or 3.5 cm. I ran it through the Cuttlebug and inked it.
Because I wanted this to stick very well to the glass, I used the sticky "red" tape. You can use glue dots or a jewelry adhesive I propose.
To decorate the top - I punch a 1" circle with my Creative Memories Circle punch. Added Prma flowers and a rhinestone.
Added ribbon and a hand made hat pin to the bottom base of the candle. And to finish the top, a tag around the Primas.
