This is a card I created using a stamp and my new texture plates from Stampin' Up. I love the embossing created on the blue. This was a very simple and fast card. The center of the flower is a gem brad.
This card is a 6x6 card made on a textured white paper. I again used a Stampin' Up texture plate. Some of my very favorite tools in my craft room are the punches I used to create the scalloped tags. They are all from Stampin' Up. I have two circle punches that layer perfectly on the scallop circle. They add character to little stamps and sentiments.
I have been using my Cricut like crazy. I can't believe I lived without one for so long. My niece turned ten today. Her parents redecorated her room for her birthday so I made this special picture for her room. She is totally into cherries right now!
I like the classic look of the white and white. I makes the cherries and her name pop. I used the Home Accent cartridge to create the cherries. The font is the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.
I created the scalloped square myself using Sure Cuts A Lot software to cut it on the Cricut. That program plus the free program Inkscape have opened up the possiblities of the Cricut!
Each cherry embellishment is made by using dimensional foam adhesive for every layer.
I printed the verse out on white cardstock. I cut the paper to 8.5x12 inches so it would fit through my laser printer. I created the word art myself and set up the print job in MS Publisher.
Also, using the cricut and Sure Cuts A Lot, I created a dot patterned stencil and then laid it over my cardstock and colored the holes with a gable green marker. The light green pattern sets the paper off from the frame just enough.
My motivation for the art piece was to get that "Fruit of the Spirit" verse in a place where Emma could read it and write it on her heart. It helps that it is cute though!
Maybe I can sell these personalized on Etsy?
