Do you recall the simple Texture Chic cards I shared last month on June 4th? Well today I’m going to show you two stepped up version of one of those simple cards to share with you card-making ideas perfect for any level crafter.
This first one (one of the four that I shared on 6/4/22) is a beginner level card. I used stamps, inks, white cardstock and a simple embellishment.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
- Basic White Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
- 1-1/2″ x 3-1/2″
In this card I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso, the splatters in Petal Pink, and the flowers in Flirty Flamingo. To get that lighter pink in the inside solid flower images, I stamped onto scrap paper 3 times first to lighten the intensity of the color before stamping onto the cardstock. I stamped onto scrap paper 2 times for the slightly darker pink outline image.
For the banner I snipped into the middle on the right edge about 1/4″ then cut from the upper corner to the end of the middle cut and from the lower corner to the end of the middle cut to make the “flag.” I used Dimensionals to add this sentiment layer and adhered the sequins with the Fine Tip Glue.
This second one is a casual level card. I used stamps, inks, 2 colors of cardstock, designer paper, and embellishments.
Measurements…
- Basic White Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
- 1-1/2″ x 2-1/4″
- 2″ x 4-1/4″
- Early Espresso Cardstock
- 1-5/8″ x 2-3/8″
- Texture Chic Designer Paper
- 4″ x 5-1/4″
I stamped this card with the same colors and color intensity as the first card. And the banners are formed the same way as the first card, but I cut the white layer first, layered it onto the brown cardstock, and then cut the brown. I added the designer paper, then the white stamped strip, then used Dimensionals to add the sentiment layer. All those embellishment pieces come in the Fancy for Everything sequin pack. And yes, I added them all with the Fine Tip Glue.
This third one is an avid level card. I used the same supplies as the second card, but added the dies from the Texture Chic Suite, the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, and a Clear Envelope to create the faker shaker part of the card.
Measurements…
- Basic White Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
- 1-1/2″ x 2-1/4″
- 2″ x 4-1/4″
- Early Espresso Cardstock
- 1-5/8″ x 2-3/8″
- Texture Chic Designer Paper
- 4″ x 5-1/4″
- Distressed Gold Specialty Paper
- Scraps for die-cutting the three flowers
The directions for making this one are the same as those for the second card, but the designer paper layer and a bunch of extra sequins are within a Clear Envelope – the faker shaker part of the card. If you’ve not made a faker shaker before, click here to watch the process (starting at the 12 minute mark).
And click here if you want to visit the post where I shared even more for this Fish Under Water Faker Shaker Card.
The only other tips I have are to make sure the embellishments are flipped the right way in the Clear Envelope (esp. the half pearls) AND to add the die-cut gold flowers with Fine Tip Glue.
No matter what your level of paper crafting, I hope you feel that you can dive in and try one or more of these cards. Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your weekend.
