Have a Splendid Day

Here is a card that I made for my Uncle.  I wanted to do something in primary colors since it always seems like I am using pink!

The pattern for this card is from the Wishes Card Confidence program (Top Band).  I scraplifted the design out the Spring/Summer 2011 CTMH catalog.  I thought that it was such a cute card that I just had to make it.

I used the Fanfare paper pack for the Background & Texture Paper.  I used Pacifica and Sunny Yellow cardstock.  I used my scallop edge punch from Stampin' Up to make the border under the red B&T paper. 

For the airplane I used the Splendid Day stamp set D1462.  I stamped the airplane 2 times.  Once on Pacifica CS with Pacifica Ink to make the plane darker.  Then again in Cranberry Ink on White Daisy CS.  I cut out the propeller, nose, wheels, tail fin, the wing and the cockpit and paper pieced them onto the Pacifica CS plane.  I stamped the banner on white daisy CS in Pacifica and Cranberry.  I used 3-d foam tape to raise the plane and the banner off the card.

I used some buttons that I had laying around and used some embroidery thread to tie in the middle.



Enjoy!

3-D Papercrafting Class

Here are some cards that I made for a 3-D Papercrafting class that I am going to be teaching at Jo-Ann's.  They have the design and directions and I follow them so it's simple.  Some of the directions seemed to be missing on one card so I had to improvise and do my best.  Oh well.  It still came out pretty well.

This one I made from a cardstock pack called Linen Closet.  They have some glitter papers and they are pretty but I am not used to working with them.  They are a lot thicker than CTMH papers.  This flower in this first card I made by using Fiskars XL Scalloped Heart Punch.  I punched 8 hearts and folded them in order to make the flower.

Here is the 2nd card I made and my favorite of all of them.  This paper is from the Linen Closet Stack also.  It could be used for graduation, wedding or anniversary.  This flower was also made from a punch from Fiskars.
Here is a close-up of the flowers:

Here is the last card that I used a different paper stack for called Pocket of Posies.  It's a really cute stack of paper.
