Vintage Rose Cards

 

Well hello again.

 I'm just sharing a couple of cards I have created

for Paper Rose Studio using lots of their gorgeous goodies.

Firstly I made a shaker card. Those of you that know me, know 

that I'm a bit of a fan of shaker cards, I find them fun to make. 

For the shaker card below I die cut out the background using 

the 20874 Slimline Card Creator 2 Circles Die. 

Some people use foam tape for their shaker cards but I prefer to 

just cut lots of layers and glue them together. I cut out the 

slimline card creator circles five times from white cardstock 

and once using 19057 Silver Shimmer Cardstock.

Between the top of the white cardstock and the bottom of the 

silver cardstock I tape acetate to cover over the circle holes so 

that when I add my 19499 Clear Crystal Mix it doesn't fall out. 

I always tape the acetate as it sticks better than glue and I'm 

less likely to have smudge makes on the acetate when using tape.

The next step for this shaker card is adding the shaker mix 

and then covering the back of the circles with a piece of 

paper from 19042 Vintage Rose A5 Paper Collection.

I chose a pink toned piece of paper that matched well with my 

ribbon that I tied around the die cut card creator. 

Finally I fussy cut out a couple of flowers from this paper 

collection and finished off with a couple of die cut pieces 

from 20976 Spring Bloom.  The little sentiment was from 

19023 Black & White Sentiment Sheets. 

The last thing to finish off this card is to attach this all to the card base. I used 21624 Slimline AU White Card Bases. They are the perfect fit when using Paper Rose Studio card creator dies.

After I made my shaker card I had lots of left over circles 

that I wanted to do something with. Don't ever waste all 

these little left over pieces of goodness. I actually have 

a little felt zip up box on my desk that I put all my left over 

die cut bits and pieces; I often use these pieces on cards and scrapbook layouts. 

I decided to make another card using some of the extra stuff 

from what I had been using to make the shaker card.

For the card pictured below I cut a piece of Silver Cardstock 

to measure 9.5cm x 15cm. This piece was then embossed using the 

20381 Hand Stitching 2 Embossing Folder.

The pink piece of paper from the Vintage Rose collection 

measures 15cm x 8cm and is torn along the bottom. I have 

sanded all the other edges of this paper which gives a nice 

white edge to help it pop when sitting on the silver cardstock.

Now to add three of those left over circles. I hand stitched them 

once they were attached to the paper before it was all attached 

to the card base. I fussy cut out some more flowers and 

die cut leaves and flowers the same as the previous card. 

The sentiment is from the Vintage Rose paper collection. It 

has been die cut using 16575 Stitched Rectangles die. I used 

this die because the stitched edges look nice with the hand 

stitching and the embossed stitching on the silver cardstock.

So there you have it... two lovely cards very different 

but similar at the same time.
