GEARED UP GARAGE

I case'd this card from JanB in the UK.  This card uses pretty peacock cardstock as the card base but the second card I made with just jade and it looks just as nice.

                          I swiped just jade and pretty peacock inks onto a piece of whisper white cardstock and then embossed with silver.  I love how the side of the car has a lighter shade and every time you try this technique you'll get a different result.                  

I used a retired stamp set called Butterfly Basics to the the line across top and bottom - this reminds me of a tyre track.  Then some stamping and flicking ink in the background completes the look.  I only had gold jump rings to attach the spanner embellishment but did have a silver sharpie which covered very well.

Remember, a handcrafted card is like sending a hug with a fold in the middle!. 

DOUBLE POCKET CARD

This is a fabulous way to use up retired DSP that you tend to accumulate even when you don't mean to.  The DSP is cut to 20cm by 30cm and scored at 10cm and 15cm.    

The top right corner of the DSP is scored and folded in at 9.75cm across the top and down the side.  The bottom right corner is cut at 5cm across and up the side.  The score line on the left is cut to half way.  

Then the DSP is then folded up away from you on the horizonal score - the diagonal score is the front of the card.

Then fold on the vertical fold so that the left side folds under the right.

You end up with two pockets on the front of the card which do need to be adhered carefully on the sides and the bottom.

 

  

Inside you end up with 3 layers of DSP on the left hand side so adding a whisper white card layer on the right gives a little more weight and somewhere to write.

Some time ago I made hot glue dots and decided to use them on this card.  I think they are more masculine than smaller embellishments.

Parfum

This card was case'd from Janas Paperdreams - she does such lovely cards!!

The card base is thick whisper white, then a layer of melon mambo, whisper white embossed with the new old world paper embossing folder, the frame has been diecut using the ornate frames and stitched rectangles.  The roses are from the dressed to impress stamp set as is the perfume bottle and the little leaves are from bouquet bunch framelits which I'm sure are retired.  You could use any leaf die though.

The roses have been coloured with light and dark lovely lipstick blends and the light real red blend. The leaves are coloured with light granny apple green blend and the diecut leaves are granny apple green cardstock.  

The whisper white embossed layer was first sponged with melon mambo ink and then embossed.  The centre of the perfume bottle has been 'wink of stella'd'  Not even a word but I'm sure you know what I mean.
