Happy Monday, Blog Peeps!! How was your World Card Making Day? I hope it was fulfilling. If not, schedule another free day you have and substitute the holiday to get some card making accomplished! That is what I plan to do!! I was out of town to witness my brother-in-law's admittance into the NC Bar. Did you see my VLOG I posted yesterday? I shared my adventures at Archiver's in Raleigh.
Today's card uses lots of patterned paper, which is definitely out of my usual design style. I absolutely turned my nose up at Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird line, but after I started using it, I discovered I really like it. I think that is very odd, but oh well, I'll take it and go! I used the ribbon strips patterned paper in the collection and cut them into strips and then adhered them on a piece of cardstock to create my own patterned paper. I guess I did not have to actually trim the strips since the patterned paper already exists in this type of design, but I had fun anyway! I also used some of my new finds, such as 7 Gypsies Chip Tags - Elements and Sassafras chipboard letters.
Card Instructions
- Trim pure poppy cardstock into an A2 card (4.25" x 5.5" - trim 8.5" x 11" cardstock in half vertically).
- Trim strips of patterned paper and adhere to cardstock.
- Add chipboard scalloped edge, then adhere to card front with foam adhesive.
- Add chipboard strips, then adhere chipboard alphabet.
- Draw polka dots on chipboard with red marker and add button.
- Add rhinestones.
