Time Forgotten

Hello Classy Cards 'n Such blog fans!

I'm Debbie, and I help Beverly out with behind the scenes work for the blog and other things. It's a lot of fun getting to see the Design Team's creations in advance, plus all the neat stuff that Beverly orders for Classy Cards 'n Such store. 

When I saw the Prairie Chic 6 x 6 paper pad by Bo Bunny, I knew right away what I wanted to do for a card.

For the base of my cards, I like to use 110 lb. weight cardstock. This gives me a nice sturdy background to add layers. 

The background gray wood paper is from the Prairie Chic 6 x 6 paper pad by Bo Bunny. Using a dual tipped ball stylus from the Paper Blossoms Paper Tool Kit, I embossed the lines between the planks of wood. To make the wood look more aged, I sanded the paper with a sanding block and rubbed white ink for a weathered look.

The Wagon Wheel and Barbed Wire are new from Cheery Lynn Designs. They are the perfect accents for the background paper. The deep detail on both dies really gives the feel of old and worn. First I sanded the wheel and used a brown marker to bring out the depth of the wood of the wheel. I used the small Joy! Foam Pads to give dimension under both dies. For the center hub of the wheel, I added a brass colored brad.

Since I wanted the Wagon Wheel and Barbed Wire to look like they had been forgotten in time, I used dark green cardstock and cut apart the new PoppyStamps Leafy Sprig Border and wove the sprigs between the wheel spokes. Glossy Accents was used to adhere the sprigs to the back of the wheel.

I added the Grass Border die from Impression Obsession. I cut the grass in both tan and olive green cardstock and added more Joy! Foam Pads for depth.

To finish the shabby look, the flowers are from the Memory Box die Flower Mound. I used the small dual tipped stylus from the Paper Blossoms Paper Tool Kit to shape the flowers and glued them on with Glossy Accents.

Other tools used: 

Tweezer Bee
Paper Blossoms Craft Molding Mat
Silhouette Pick-Me-Up - to pick up flowers
Metal Snippers - to cut apart the Barbed Wire die 
Crafters Tools - to pop out flowers from die

Thanks for letting me share my card. Have a great day!

Watermelon - Yum!!!

Hi folks!  It's Holly posting today and I'm sharing a really cute, summery card with y'all.  Watermelon is such a summer staple, and yet, I'm allergic to it and I can't eat any.  But I think I can handle this paper version without any problems.  :-)   

Did you know that the raindrops from the Clouds and Rain die (Cheery Lynn Designs) make perfect seeds???  That was my inspiration for creating this watermelon card.  I kept looking at those raindrops, thinking they looked just like watermelon seeds!  LOL

To create my watermelon shape, I used some giant oval dies (Grand Oval Nestabilities from Spellbinders) and cut the three colored shapes.  I folded the green oval in half, cut down the white and red ovals slightly beyond the halfway point, and then glued them down.  

I cut out a bunch of black "seeds" from the Clouds and Rain die and then I used the Silhouette Pickmeup tool to pick up each "seed" so I could add glue (Quickie Glue Pen) to the bottom and then press it into place on my card.  I stamped the sentiment from Stampavie's With Love set above the seeds. 

Every watermelon slice needs a bee, doesn't it?  LOL  I die cut the two bee pieces from the Tiny Things with Wings (Cheery Lynn Designs) set from yellow and black cardstocks.  I then glued the black piece on top of the solid yellow piece using the Quickie Glue Pen.  The completed bee was glued near the top of the card so it looks like it is in motion.  To finish off my card, I touched off each seed with a white gel pen and I ran the edges of the green card base through a dark green ink pad.  

I hope you've enjoyed this fun touch of summer!  Have a great day!

I love your card Holly, but I'm so sorry you are allergic!!
