As Simple As Can Be

Happy Sunday Craft Lovers,

I made another birthday card and this time my theme is As Simple As Can Be. Once again I combined red, white and blue. I seem to like this three colors combination, though I must start using my orange cardstock, they are really starting to pile up.

What are you plans for the weekend? Any craft projects in mind?

Since its already going to be the end of July, I really need to start getting into the christmas card making mood. I got loads of cards to make, If I don't start now I will be ending up buying again like last year.

As Simple As Can Be

For this simple handmade birthday card, I used a red card as base then I layered it with a white card. I used a flower doily border punch from DoCrafts to punch the white colored card. Oh yes once again this is a 5.5" x 5.5" card. Then I used a blue card as the final layer. For the background of my sentiment I die cut a lighter color blue shade card.

For the added touch I stamped two red flowers and die cut using my Spellbinder's Sapphire. I also used some blue embellishment and blue pearls for the four corners and for the center of the two red flowers.

Until my next post which will be of a different theme...continue to Craft With Love.

Red White And Blue Birthday Card

Good morning craft lovers. I made a Red White And Blue Birthday Card yesterday. Three colours that I never dreamed of combining in one project but it turned out to be quite an interesting match and might use this three colors again in future projects.

What I like about this 3 colors is that this card is suitable for both a lass and a lad. Well maybe if you are making for a lad, you might not want to put flower instead put something more manly for example a picture of tools or something to do with sports.

Red White And Blue Birthday Card

This time I made a 5.5" x 5.5" card. I usually prefer square cards compared to rectangular ones. I choose blue as the base and used the same blue card for the flowers which I stamped and then hand cut them. I then layer the blue base card with a white card 5" x 5" card and a 4.5" x 4.5" red card. I then die cut the birthday sentiment using the same red card with my Spellbinders Sapphire. And for the back of the sentiment I die cut the balance of white card.

So to complete this project, I only used 3 cards and just mix and match to make the card look presentable. And finally for the added finishing touch, I used light blue pearls for the two corners and also the sentiment and red embellishment for the center of the stamped flowers.

Beside my Red White And Blue Birthday Card, I made another 3 other cards that I will share with you later. Until then do always Craft With Love.
