Play with pattern papers!

Hi All!


*** Check out my Giveaway on my FaceBook Page. Closing on 08/03/2014 at 12 PM EST ****

I am back again with another post to show a set of 3 cards I made yesterday from a single piece of 12x12 pattern paper. Since the pattern paper was for creating layouts, I was hoarding it for so long as I don't do scrapbooks and the birdies and colors were so cute! So I whipped up an idea of making 3 cards altogether as I cannot let such a beautiful paper go waste!

Here is the set of cards :

Now individual pics :
1. Tall card : I had a pretty tough time in aligning the birdies with negative die cut area and sticking it to the base of the card as the birdies were spread across the pattern paper. I guess I managed somehow.

2. Shaped card: Those who follow my crafting, they would know by now that It's my favorite shape. On the patter paper is from Recollections - Fabulous Girl paper pad. The little birdie die cut sentiment is from K&Company. Also added some enamel dots to enhance the color palette I used here and did some faux stitching to outline the design.

3. Heart Shaped Easel Card: 

How can I separate 2 birdies sitting together!!! I had to use them together, A heart shaped card was just perfect for these birdies and they looked so much in love. :D Added a "tweet" sentiment too!

And now a picture of the PP I used to make these cards. Sorry for the bad picture, I clicked the photo when I already started with the cards.

I am not able to recall Brand names for the card stock and enamel dots used here. Dies are from Spellbinders except the mini cloud which is from Greeting Farm Company.

I hope I was able to execute the sketch successfully.

The clouds stamp and die is from 'Greeting Farm' company. I was hoarding this set for so long and was itching to use it now. I used the negative die cutting technique and adhered a scrap of pattern paper at the back. Then I inked the mini clouds, rain drops, hearts and the sentiment using Hero Art's shadow ink cubes and assembled the card.. and tada! it's done!

Supplies used:

Cardstock : Neenah's solar white

Stamps and dies : Mini Clouds from The Greeting Farm Company

Inks : Hero Arts Quiet Morning and Summer Splash Ink Cubes Pack

Embossing folder : Cuttlebug Swiss Dots

Other tools : Bigshot die cutting machine, We Are Memory Keepers Corner chomper
