M is for Magnolia

 M is for Magnolia

The challenge from Jen at Altenew this week is ABC.  Another words pick a letter to use for your theme on card or project. I picked the letter M.  I used Magnolia flower dies, Moths from Meadow Reflections, Mango and Marigold color cardstock, and papers.  I also used mini blending brush to add color to the magnolia flower dies.

stamps/supplies used:  Altenew Delicate Magnolia die set, Meadow Reflections (moths) and mini blending brush, SU mango color papers/cardstock

This is called a Fan card.

basic instructions:

base - 7" x 10"  score at 5"

layer - 4 3/4" x 6 3/4"

1.  Use same color as the base card for 4" x 6" layer, and cut in half diagonally.

2.  Color layer cardstock 3 1/2" x 5 1/2".  Cut in half diagonally.

3.  Pattern paper 3" x 5".  Cut in half diagonally.

4.  Layer all layers from line #1 thru #3.  This will form bigger of the triangles that will be assembled on card.

5.  On 7" x 10" card score at 5".  On the 10" side of card measure 2", and cut diagonally to the bottom of card.  Fold at 5" score to form base card.

6.  On 4 3/4" x 6 3/4" card measure in 2 3/4" then cut diagonally down to bottom of card.  Cut off 1/4" of this triangle.

7.  On 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" card measure in 2 1/2" then cut diagonally down to bottom of card.  Cut off 1/2" of this triangle.

8.  Layer all of these layers from line #6 and #7.  

9.  Assemble card with all the layers.  Add Magnolia flower on the bottom point of triangles.  Moths can be adhered on the top and bottom of card.  This makes a 5" x 7" card.

I will be entering this card in the #Altenewchallengelive.

Big Trellis cards

 BIG Trellis cards

stamps used: SU Painted Poppies, Dragonfly Dreams, Forever Fern

Still making trellis cards! only now I'm making BIG 5"x7" trellis cards!

Vertical and horizontal cards.

basic instructions:

base card: 5"x7" (folded)

Strips can be cut in any size.  Here I did 3/4" strips cut off the front of the card.  You will need two thinner strips for the vertical fence posts.

picture (shown is A2 size card) of trellis cards before decorated.

Line up one of the strips on the washi tape even with the bottom of the card.  Next evenly space the rest of the strips up the card. Add a dot of glue on each of the strips, adhere the thinner two strips to create the fence posts.  Now all there is to do is decorate the card with poppies, and leaves.  Add some self sticking gems for sparkle to finish the card.  The one extra thing I did with my cards is to add a folded paper text weight "card" inside my trellis card.  This made it, so I could stamp/write message inside the card without it showing through the strips. 

If you look close at the photos of the cards, you can see the folded paper card with splats stamped on it.
