Fancy Folds Card 3 - Easel Owl Card

Here's the third in my fancy folds cards - an easel card.  It uses the colour combo of Perfect Plum, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla.  I used the Woodgrain background stamp with Crumb Cake Ink to create a wood effect on the Very Vanilla cardstock on the front of the card, as well as on the Crumb Cake base. An owl was punched using the Owl Builder punch, and I added some Rhinestone Pearls to look like a necklace.  I used the Word Window Punch and the Modern Label Punch with a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes, and added a couple of the Stampin' Dimensionals to make a raised section where the top of the card rests to make it stand up.

This picture shows the card laid flat for placing in an envelope.

Creative Elements card

Here's the fifth card from the Stamp-a-stack class. We used the Creative Elements stamp set for this card, with a lovely colour combination of Crumb Cake, Elegant Eggplant and Perfect Plum. We used the En Français to do the background and then stamped the flower in Perfect Plum. The sentiment is from For My Family. There was a bit of cutting out to do around the butterfly, which had Rhinestone Jewels added to give an extra bit of bling. The Very Vanilla card stock was embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.

I {Heart} Hearts Friend Card

Here's another card I made early on when I received my starter kit.  The colour combo is similar to my last post, but with Pretty In Pink added, to Baja Breeze and Perfect Plum.  This was another CASEd card from Splitcoaststampers.  This is a great website if you are ever stuck for ideas with what to do with your Stampin' Up! stamp sets. I tried out the tearing technique on this card, something I see done all the time, but don't often do myself.

Vintage Vogue Friend Card

Evening

I've got another card to share with you today, using one of the stamp sets I received in my starter kit last year when I signed up to be a demonstrator.  It uses the Vintage Vogue set, and I think I CASEd it from Splitcoaststampers, but can't find it now! I'm going to have to improve my inspiration searches, and stop just saving the picture but write down where I found it too.  For anyone that doesn't know, CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything, which is a great way to share ideas and try new designs, remembering to give credit to the original crafter.

It uses the colour combo of Baja Breeze and Perfect Plum.  There was a bit of cutting out to do for this one, as the set doesn't have a matching punch.  Wouldn't it be nice if they all did, but then we'd just have more we needed to buy!
