Aperture/Window card

I really am on a roll this week!!

Here's another card I've just completed. The theme is window/aperture card.

I was really stumped with this theme so I went googling! LOVE google!! I stumbled across a blog by Kristina Werner (http://www.kwernerdesign.com) and found this awesome little card. Kristina even provides the template for it for FREE!! In different cutting formats plus pdf.

I love the simplicity of this card. I was going to embellish it with grass and flowers but ended up leaving it clean like Kristina did.

Everything was cut out on my gazelle and all card stock used is American Crafts.

The next one I make I'm going to put a pane of acetate in it to really give it a window effect.

I hope you like it!

Cheers,

WOW!! 2 posts in 1 week!

I have now officially caught up in the card swap, well I will be once my cards are posted tomorrow!

Here's my take on the theme "On the farm".

The image is from a site called http://digiwebstudio.com. They have some really whimsical graphics that are great quality for print and cuts. The card base is a design by Alisa at http://de-signsmadebyme.com. Which is where I also purchased the card makers card stock and American Crafts card stock from :)

I think this simple card came out really well.

Enjoy!

Hi all,

OK, so my New Years resolution to blog at least weekly has gone a little astray....just a little!

Anyways, here's a card I made for the card swap I'm currently involved in. The theme was Autumn and I sooooo wasn't in a brown and gold and yellow mood so I googled flowers that bloom in Autumn and up came a gerbera. Gerberas are one of my favorite flowers, always so bright and cheery. They always seem like such a happy flower to me.

The card base is a design from the fabulous Monica Bjork. The flower I designed myself and the sentiment is a SU! stamp embossed with glitter sliver embossing powder.

Everything was, of course, cut out using my Gazelle.

This was a really quick and easy card. The longest part is waiting for the glue to dry!

I'm now off to watch the series return of Secret Diary of a call girl, love that show!

Have a great week,

Shell xoxo
