AngeL Arts Cards

Wednesday, March 6, 2013

This is one of 2 cards I created from a kit that included papers, cards, and embellishments.

Love You - hearts

This was a Silhouette cut card. It had more steps then I realized but I loved the way it could be decorated. The colors of cardstock used were:

red, pink, black, white.

I also added a heart border at the bottom.

My grandson asked me to create a card for his girlfriend. This double heart card was decorated with stickers. The "heart flowers" are paper tole. There are 3 layers to it. I hope she like it. I know he did :-}

Nativity Cut Out Card

This was a card offered on the Silhouette store. I used a dark blue cardstock purchased from Michaels. The interior was cut out and I used 2 clear star shaped rhinestones glued together with fishing line to hang it from the center.

Winter Birthday

If you've followed my blog you may have noticed my daughter's birthday is 3 days after Christmas. We always make it a special day and it's never celebrated with our Christmas gatherings.

This was her card this year. I should mention she took professional ice skating lessons when she was younger.

The inside contains a poem I created special for her.

Bird on a Branch

This was great fun to make. The silhouette cut bird was made with a red mettallic, and the previously used rust/gold mettalic for the wing. I hand drew the branch. I used a gold cord on the side and a premade "glitter globe" saying purchased @ "Micheal's". The background paper is a very light blue with little red birds scattered about.

Touches of Light Blue and Green

The light blue tree cut out is a bit difficult to see in the photos. I colored clear rhinestones a brown color and added the reindeer "buttons" for a cute accent. The top has a green ribbon that reads Happy Holidays. The background paper matched the tree so well that I didn't want to hide any of it and that made it difficult to see in the photos. I hope you can make it out.

Christmas Bird house

Christmas 2012

I love this card! I used the same rust colored/gold mettalic dot cardstock for the front of the house. The peg and inside of hole were cut in dark brown. I hand cut the trees from scraps. I then used a Fisker punch to create the white "ruffle". I used scraps of "Christmas lights" from my own village around the roof. To create the snow effect I used Flower Soft Polar White I found it best to use 2 layers of the Polar Whiter. I made a for a better coverage.

This was a fun easy card. I used sillhouette to create the "perppermint" candies.

Deck the Halls

Christmas 2012

I used Silhouette to cut the pine cone (2 parts back and front) and the pine needles. The lables were cut with a plastic template I purchased from "PaperWishes". The front portion of the pincone was covered in gold Stickles and the pine needles were spoted here and there with green Stickles. I created the "Deck the Halls" in Word using Word Art to give the letters a gold appearence with a dark brown shadow.

I also used a small strip of the brown snowflake paper (from DWCV) on the bottom of the inside to add a bit of pizazz.

Christmas 2012

These are more cards I made and sent for Christmas, 2012

This was another fun card to make. It's also a tri-fold. I used papers from the DCWV Winter Wonderland collection. (I was one of the lucky ones who found this cardstock). This is the most beautiful collection of cardstock.

I created a tri-fold card from a dark blue snowflake cardstock. Then I used Silhouette to creat the circle snowflake and backed it with a baby blue snowflake cardstock from the same collection. I placed clear rhinestones on each of the tips of the snowflake. I used a small punch to create the white stars and added a silver tree (button) I bought from Walmart.

The inside:

I created a white cardstock circle and a mettalic blue scalloped circle and stamped the greeting on the inside.

Let's face it Christmas is all about the bling!

My Christmas 2012 Cards:

This was a fun and easy card. I used a glittered cardstock for the background on a red cardstock card. Then I created (in silhouette) a white scalloped circle and the Merry Christmas snowflake cut out in green. I added red rhinestones to add glitz and walah the card was done.

My Christmas 2012 Cards

Finally getting these up. Hope you find something you like!

I created the gnome on my Silhouette. I colored his face with copics. I used an awesome rust colored paper with metallic gold spots for the cap and shirt. The tree was hand cut and the sentiment was hand written. I also used the rust/mettalic paper for the 1st background and layered a "kraft" colored cardstock on top. The word gnome was created by me and cut on silhouette. I used Stickles on the beard and gnome word.

On the inside I created a cloud using Stickles to give it extra embellishment and created and cut the word Dreams in silhouette.
