DA0238 Quickutz/Lifestyle Crafts "Manhattan" 4x4 Alphabet, Distress Ink Refillers for coloring

Independence Day Featured Designer Challenge by Ute Thenert

Don´t they look deeply content? It seems that they have had a good and lovely meal!

This 4th of July card I embellished with the new, available dies from Quickutz/Lifestyle Crafts, DC 0237 rounded squares and DC 0264 stars Border. They are very practically because they cut more than one square or star at a time.  So you will always have these die cuts in reserve. Those basic forms allow creating many embellishments in combination with other die cuts or just using alone. Here the die cuts define the whole card.

Photo Card Trauben-Hyazinthe

Today I have the honor to make the monthly tutorial as the featured designer.

I thought I will show how you can craft a quick and easy card.  This so easy that this can be done by children too, maybe as a birthday card for mom?

The supplies you will need are as followed:

Vanilla cardstock, 14x14cm

Lilac cardstock, 13x13cm

2 pieces of tissue paper, rose and light yellow

Raffia ribbon, light green, olive green

Lilac ribbon

"Floral Doily" Die - DR0247 Quickutz/Lifestyle Crafts

Scissor, glue, pearl pen 

Step 1

So, let’s start!

Cut down two pieces about 3cm from the light green raffia ribbon. Spread them out

A little bit in the middle and form 2 leaves.

 

Step 2

Glue the lilac cardstock centered on the vanilla card and to the left side the doily.

Now cut two pieces of olive green raffia ribbon for the stem and also glue them

With the leaves on the card as shown in the photo.

 

Step 3

Cut a stripe about 4cm from the tissue paper, each color and cut this into little

pieces. All these pieces bowl in your palms for making many pellets of paper.

Step 4

When done, stick them as a blossom for the stem on the card. They can be arranged in all forms.

Adhere the lilac ribbon along the bottom edge and a little bit over the stems.

For additional embellishments you can use phrase stickers or how I did, a tag with a phrase, half pearls by using a pearl pen, and extant pellets of paper.

Today’s project is a quick and easy to make birthday card. I brought this lovely jade colored cardstock a while ago and I just love using it with white cardstock to make it stand out.

I used the Spring Flowers die from the Lifestyle Crafts latest release to make the center piece on the card. I used one of the lovely nesting frame dies to layer the card up.

Today project is a floral birthday card using my favorite color, pink!!

I have used the new Lifestyle crafts floral dies and they are soooo cute. I love the way they fold and have an amazing 3D effect. For the center of the large flower I used the Nesting Pinking Circles from the CHA Release.

This project has been made using the new Lifestyle Crafts Release. I picked the butterfly as it is so beautiful and thought it would make a lovely wedding card. It could be an invitation, a congratulations or a special birthday card.

I cut out the butterfly twice, one in cream and once in silver mirror card. I then offset the wings so they effectively have a shadow.
