Two Happy Cards & Two Techniques
Hi everyone! This is Danielle, and this is my first post :) I am very excited about showing you two cards that I created. There are two different techniques that I am going to talk about. First, here is a picture of the cards using the May Kit!!
I could not help but to make a 'happy' card. This kit just screams happy, sunny, and fun!
If you notice, both of these cards use the same colors. The reason why. Because I only used 2 pieces of Pebbles patterned paper. Let me tell you about the happy card first. Here are pictures of the 2 techniques I used for this card,
In the first picture, I used a piece of cardstock for the card. I then took and used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. To create the 'picture window' I used a Die, but I didn't use the piece traditionally used, until the second card. I adhered the patterned paper onto the cardstock. Then I took and punched some different sized circles, and a scallop circle. I distressed each circle, and then I would add a glue dot in between each layer to give the flower a more dimensional look. I also added a Jenni Bowlin rhinestone embellishment in the middle for a little bling :)Then for the stem, I cut out the stem from the other piece of patterned paper. Add some alphas, and that's all there is to it. Very quick and simple. I really liked the way it came out.
Here is a picture of the second card,
I used cardstock again to make the card, and also my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. Now, here is the piece that was cut out from the piece used in the first card. First, I added ribbon and secured in place. I then added glue dots behind the entire back piece of the die cut, and adhered. I cut the flower out from the same sheet of patterned paper that I had cut the stem from. I added the flower, and the alphas. Notice, how I replaced the O with a heart. The last thing I did was add on a Tim Holtz Mini Clip. There you go :)
I hope that you enjoy these techniques. What I love is that for both of the cards I used 2 4 x 6 pieces of patterned paper to create both of these cards. So, it doesn't take much. Thank you so much for letting me share, and I can't wait to see what you come up with. Have a Fantastic Thursday, and I will see you back here next week.

I liked the way you showed the cards side by side, you can immediately see that you used the cut out on the second card! Very nice and great tips.
