Angela's PaperArts: Crane of fortune mother's day card

I'm again this week featuring the Stampin' Up! Crane of Fortune stamp set and co-ordinating dies bundle along with the Symbols of Fortune Designer Series Paper.

Instead of using the foiled side of the paper, I thought I'd use the reverse side for a different look.  I kept it simple and used the colour scheme in the paper for my stamped focal image being Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen inks.  The elegant Happy Mother's Day sentiment is from the Celebrating You stamp set. How cute is that little Brushed Butterfly embellishment.

Angela's PaperArts: Crane of Fortune split panel birthday card

This split panel birthday card features the Stampin' Up! Crane of Fortune stamp set and co-ordinating dies bundle along with the gorgeous Symbols of Fortune Designer Series Paper.

I love all the gold foiling on this paper - it adds an elegant touch to the project.   I also used the Gold  Metallic Specialty Papers for one of the diecuts and added some Gilded Gems onto the centre panel too.

A split panel card is easy to make:

• Cut the middle out of the centre of a tent fold card base
• Flip the centre cardstock vertically to create the centre panel
• Adhere the panel to the remaining top & bottom sections of the card base.  You can add the panel to the side or centre of the card - the choice is yours.
• Decorate the centre panel to suit

For my card, the sentiment is actually on the inside panel of the card.

Here's an angled view of the freestanding split panel card.

Angela's PaperArts: Biggest Wish slimline birthday card

I made this slimline birthday card featuring the Stampin' Up! Slim Card dies and Biggest Wish stamp set for a family member's birthday.

I used the inlaid diecut technique to create this card.  

• I first diecut the arrow Slim Card die in Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the slimline card base. 
• I then used the contrasting blue cardstock colours of Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue to diecut the same shape.
• I inlaid alternating colours by adhering them into the white diecut. 
• I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set onto another piece of Basic White cardstock and used the retiring Tailored Tag punch to flag the ends of sentiment.  

You can effectively make four cards out of the technique and mix and match the card base as you have four complete diecuts.

Angela's PaperArts: Iconic dies grunge birthday card

Last week I shared a 'clean & simple' version of a birthday card featuring the versatile Stampin' Up! Iconic dies.  This week I'm sharing a more distressed/grungy version of the card which has the same cluster of embellishments, but a very different background.

The Stampin' Up! Iconic dies are lovely to work with and can be used for many occasions.  I also used a timber embossing folder similar to the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and did ink blending using the Blending Brushes to give a distressed/grungy feel to the card base.  

The sentiment is from the Forever Fern stamp set. 

So which version do you prefer?  The Clean or Grunge version?

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin Up Iconic birthday card

I always need birthday cards and this one features the versatile Stampin' Up! Iconic dies.

The Stampin' Up! Iconic dies are so cute and this card was quick to make.  I also used the Stitched Greenery die to create the stitched leafy background on the card base.

The sentiment is from the Artistically Inked stamp set and it was punched out using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch.
