1st Communion card


Hi All, I made this for my friend Meg's grandson.  I am showing you 2 shots of the same card, I wanted you to see how the cross lines up in the center of the Word Art 1st Communion and also to see that I used a clear see through polyester card and mounted the printed sheet of card stock behind it.   I cut the Iron Cross image from a Penny Duncan CD and the double frame is from Alaa Studios Fancy Frame 2.  I mounted 1 frame inside on the white card stock and the other on the outside clear.  When you close the card the smaller outside frame lets the larger inside the card frame show through.  I wracked my brain trying to come up with a good design for the envelope, since all my friends expect them to be lined now.  I was going to put some paper with yellow roses in it, then I realized what 8 year old boy wants to see yellow roses?  Then the idea of putting his name and 1st Communion came to me, I think she will love it.  
I love it because I cut it with my KNK Zing, I am learning more and more each day!  A big thanks to Julie at MTC Tuts, she has been an angel to help me figure out the new program, I could not have made this with out her help.  Anyone else needing help with learning Make The Cut come join the Yahoo group, everyone is friendly and so very helpful.  
Well, that's it, thanks for looking.  ~Diane

I made this card for my friend Meg's Birthday.  The image is from Gecko Galz, Birds and Bees  You can sign up for their newsletter here Leann is always offering free images to her readers.  Gecko Galz, have an Invite a Friend challenge going on for the whole year.  All you have to do is follow their blog and then join the Yahoo group.  Tell them who sent you (ME) and the person who brings the most followers will get that months digital products.  Thats right you win all the collage sets, digi stamps, and paper set!!!  So be sure to say I sent you:), and send some of your friends over too, you will be glad you did.

I cut the Shaplie frames from Penny Duncan's CD.  I used my Perfect layers rulers to get a perfect set of solid frames to mount behind the Shaplies.  I am now a Brand Ambassador for Perfect Paper Crafting, so if you use my link and coupon code Bove5%, you will save 5% on the Perfect layers rulers and get flat rate priority shipping. 
 It was hard to  photograph this, I did some fussy cutting on the birds and the pink flowers but you can't really see it here.  I also embossed all 3 of my Shaplie frames with a different pattern.  The lace flowers are from Pizzazz Aplenty.  I also want to mention that I printed the image on Staples Photo Supreme double sided matte paper.  It really makes a difference when you are printing vintage ephemera and deep colored papers.  Well that's it for today, thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Happy Valentines Day

I hope you all are enjoying Valentines Day, I made my family special treats yesterday to celebrate.  I love this image of Deb and Rick from Scrolls Work stamps, it is so romantic.  So is the Irresistible Love sentiment stamp.  Stop by the Scrolls Work store and check out the New Full sheet stamp sets available at a 25% off discount.
I used a technique from Technique Junkies called layer up, it does not show that well in the photograph, but I raised up some pieces to give it more dimension. The background dp is Bold Black and White from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff, the die cut is from Penny Duncan, cut on my Cricut with the SCAL software and decorated with pale pink flat back pearls.  I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist on the heart doily.
