Two Cards One Kit with White Rose Crafts LLC

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with 2 very different cards from one kit. This post is a bit long but, I hope you will enjoy it.

I am using the July Mediterranean Dreams Kit from White Rose Crafts LLC

This fabulous Subscription Kit brings together sparkling, azure Mediterranean seas, sun-bleached shores and the rich colors of vibrant Mediterranean cultures in a carefully curated kit. Just gorgeous!

 Card #1 - Fresh 
 This is a simple card. Using one of the cut apart topper sheet for the sentiment and image.


Let's get started.


I used one of the card bases that comes in the kit. I pulled some MFT Gumdrop Green cardstock
 from my stash to accent the image and pattern paper.

First, I trimmed my topper and layered it onto the green cardstock. Then, I did the same to the pattern paper. I adhered the pattern paper and cardstock layer onto the yellow card base.

Next, I adhered the topper to the pattern paper with some foam adhesive.

Then, I pulled out the Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blend from the kit along with some Nuvo Drops for embellishing the card. I added two clusters of sparkle blends to the corners of the card and a butterfly to the topper. I added a bit of Dandelion Yellow to the center of the butterfly and some White Blizzard to the sentiment and as an accent to the lemons.

Now, the card is complete. Quick and easy.

Card # 2 - Wish You Were Here

This card is a bit more detailed. I used the stamp set from the kit, pattern papers and sparkle blend.

Let's get started.

I started by cutting two strips from the pattern paper. I used the blue pattern strip and the cream and tan pattern paper. Then, I die cut the blue pattern paper into waves and the cream pattern paper into a sand hill. Then, I stamped the 2 little beach cottages and colored them. I also stamped the palm trees and boat. I used some Distress Oxide Ink for the boat and palm tree. I fussy cut the sun from the other cut apart Topper sheet 2. I pulled some yellow and light blue cardstock from my stash.

Next, I inked the edges of the waves and sand hill with some Distress Oxide inks. This will give them more definition. Then, I adhered the blue waves onto the light blue cardstock. Next, I layered the sand using some foam adhesive onto the waves. Then, I adhered the blue panel on to the yellow cardstock.
   

Next,, I adhered the palm tree and boat. Tucking the palm tree just behind the sand. I tucked the boat behind the palm tree. Then, I added the little cottages. I tucked in some clouds - one behind the palm tree and one just behind the sun which I popped up on foam adhesive. Finally, I added the sentiment and some Sparkle Blends. I used 6 Sparkle Blends from the past kit (Barista) for coconuts for the palm trees. I also added 2 small clusters to the left corner of the card and to the sentiment. I added a few seagulls to the sky - because we all know the Beach would not be the same without them.

Now, the card is complete!

Ahoy, Matey Card with Dies R Us

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun interactive birthday card.

Today's card is mostly Lawn Fawn Products. I wanted to create a fun child's birthday card. I used the Ahoy, Matey stamp set along with a few dies.


Lift the Flap -  by the X that marks the spot - to see the rest of the
 sentiment and of course the treasure!

Let's get started.

I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the images. I also die cut some waves into light blue cardstock and a stitched hill into tan cardstock. I die cut some clouds and sun as well.

Next, I added a bit of Distress Oxide ink in Mermaid Lagoon to the waves. The top of the light blue cardstock will become the sky. I add more ink to the wave caps the fade out toward the bottom.

Then, I add some Distress Oxide Ink in Vintage Photo to the sand hill. I used the sponge applicator for the top and sides. I then used a stencil brush and stippled the ink on to create the effect of sand.

Now, for the assembly of the card.  I puzzle piece the section back together using the card front panel as my base (the cream cardstock) for proper placement.  I use some washi tape to hold everything together so that I can die cut the flap. 


I place the Lift the Flap die in place, secure with some washi and run it through my die cutting machine. 

I die cut a second flap from light yellow cardstock for the inside. This will hide all the layers. I trim away the extra cardstock.


Next, I turn over the front panel and run adhesive down the back. 
I also adhered the yellow cardstock to the backside of the flap.

I put a bit more really close to the opening area. 

I then center the front panel onto the cream cardstock.

Then, I add some Distress Oxide in Vintage Photo with the stencil brush to the inside of the flap area.

Next, I start adding the images.
 First, I run most of the images through the Xyron 150 Sticker Maker.

I start with the inside of the flap area. I add the treasure chest, extra gold pieces, and jewels.

Then, I close the flap and start placing the other images to the front of the card. I tuck the little ship into the waves. layer the clouds and sun (so the sun is peeking out of the clouds) and the little mountains and palm trees. I added the parrot to one of the trees. As well as the small oasis. I then used some low profile foam tape to adhere the little boy and girl into place. Finally, I added the sentiment on the flap and inside the flap area over the treasure.
