Creations Scrapbook Centrale Creative Team Project 2025-Jan-21

 Hi,

I am back sharing some Gold/Silver colored projects, created for the Creations Scrapbook Centrale fb group.

Gold/Silver is the color option of this month's challenge.  Here I created two CAS cards.


I die cut the focal element in both gold and silver foiled card stock.  I glued the outline die cuts onto a white card base.  Then carefully glue the inside pieces in the opposite colored outline.

I gold heat embossed the small tag, and attached to card with metallic thread bow.

Now perhaps, you're wondering what happens to the gold and silver panel I die cut from.  No, I didn't let it go to waste, I create two bonus card with them. 

I first created a colorful background using a baby wipe and ink spray.  I lay down a baby wipe on my craft sheet, applied ink sprays, spritzed with a bit of water, then scrunch the baby wipe a little.  Next I place white card stock over and imprint.


Then I glue the gold and silver panel over these colored panels, and inlaid a black die back into the die cut panel.  


These cards could be used for multiple occasions, so I left them as is, and will write a personal message inside when I use them.

Here's photos of the other supplies used for my cards.


Thanks for visiting me today.  Have a great one!

Globe Shape Card

 Hi everyone,

I must admit, I was being a bit ambitious when I thought I could use a small die to a make a shaped card (non-square/rectangle).  But I did it!


I used Altenew World In Bloom Die set for my card.  The image of the earth and sentiment are from Altenew Big World stamp set.


It was a bit difficult to make the hinge for the card, but with some patience I made it work.  I must say, it's a bit delicate though.  LOL

Thanks for coming over to my blog.  Have a great day!

Creations Scrapbook Centrale Creative Team Project 2025-Jan-11

 Hello there,

I am back with another team project for the Creations Scrapbook Centrale fb group.  This month's challenge is Celestial Wonder.  And I created this shadow box/pop up card.  


I chose a piece of pattern paper that looks like the galaxy for the background (Craft Consortium Ink Drops - Monochorme 12 x 12 paper pad).

I glued the die cut moon, and some stars onto the background and glued it to the back of the pop-up frame.

Then I die cut cloud frames in white card stock and ink blended.  Then I attached the panels to a pop-up frame (see this video of Jennifer McGuire for the know how).  Besides adapting it to portrait orientation, I also used foam adhesive at the top layer to add extra dimension. 

To create the floating star affects, I used strips of acetate to attach them.


 

Here's photos of the die, stamp, and inks I used from my card:



Thanks for stopping by, have a fabulous day!

Happy 2025

 Happy New Year!!

I am starting the new year with a new card!  For Creations Scrapbook Centrale FB group challenge: Celestial Wonders, with color options: Gold/Silver.

I went with the color Gold for my card.

I used 2022 Spellbinders Advent Calendar Day 7's Layering Stencil to create a soft boken background.  The sentiment is gold heat embossed.  The year is die cut with white stock twice and gold foiled card stock once and glue together.

Simple and classic!

And I didn't have to use a lot of products.  Here's a photo:


Have a wonderful beginning to a brand new year!  May it be all that you wanted it to be.
