Make a Card Monday

Hello everyone!
Today I am back for another Make A Card Monday project. Today I'll be sharing a pretty simple and easy to make card using the lovely paper pad from Whiff of Joy and some arrow dies.

To make this card I used a the arrow die and die cut it twice, once to the arrows pointed to the right and the second time to the left. The sentiment is also from Whiff of Joy and it is one of my favorite sentiments. It can really be used for any type of card. As a final touch I added some twine around the front panel and adhered the piece with foam squares. Unfortunately the color of the twine didn't really match the patterned paper, but it was the best I could find and it'll have to do.

Here is a closeup of the card:

I have also uploaded a tutorial video that you can find on my YouTube channel or here below.

So that was all for me today, I hope you liked my card and the video and if you want to get any of the products I used check out the complete supply list with links to the shop in the bottom of this post.

Wednesday Die-Light - a spring-ish card

Hello everyone!

This is Kathrin here today with another Wednesday Die-Light card. And you already know that this means there are no stamped images on this card, just the Die-Lights.

So, this is the card that I came up with...

Love how it turned out with those mainly blue and white colors and the soft touch.

I put the butterfly in the focus here and added some designer's paper underneath that has a "real sky" print. Can you see the butterfly fluttering around in the summer sun?

I also had to use white Crackling Paint again, this changes the look of a card so much, even if it's not much I added.

Since I wanted to do no stamping on the card I used the Moment Pocket Page Die-Light to have some text on my card.

And since there is sky I also had to add a die-cut cloud.

Usually I don't use that many flowers on a card but to keep the balance from the size of the butterfly I had to add more. Doesn't it look like it just flew away after sitting on the flowers for a while? Underneath the flowers I also added some flourishes.

I cut 3 butterflies - the top layer is made from vellum, then I added the plain butterfly cut from light blue glitter paper underneath and then traced the shape of the Die-Light to get a bigger butterfly from the light green paper. Between the green and the glimmer paper I added antennas from thin wire and at the end I added silver Stickles to the body.

And these are all the products I used:

Moment Pocket Page Die-Light

Large Butterfly - Set of 4 Dies

Nested Clouds -Set of 4

Romantic Swirls 2

Distress Crackling Paint Picked Fence

Thank you for stopping by today - I hope there is some spring sun today wherever you are. And maybe you'll see a butterfly as well...
