Cut It Up Challenge #330

The base card is green dotted card stock.

Using the Waffle Flower “Postage Collage Die” I cut white card stock and used the coordinating “Envelope” stencil to create the envelopes with Distress inks.

To create the flowers that I am sending I inked up white card stock and die cut them with a die from Elizabeth Craft Designs”Florals 1”.

To make the center of the flowers I punched white card stock with a 1/8” hole pinch and glued them all to the card front.

The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.

CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #560

Though my colors are more Autumn -like, I just loved the Tim Holtz leaf dies for this.

The base card is kraft card stock.

On the main kraft card stock panel I place a square of brown card stock.

With a piece of Tim Holtz “Spritzed” background and the dies from Tim Holtz “Artsy Leaves” I cut the 4 leaves and foam taped them to the card front.

With the Simon Says Stamp “Simply” die and more brown and kraft card stock I created the sentiment and foam taped it to the card front.
