This time I used one of the slimline digital die cuts that I bought from Heartfelt Creations. I also used more of the Iris Garden digital die cuts. I added a pearl to each of the four corners. Like most of my cards, this is a simple, fairly flat card that can be mailed without extra postage.
I have definitely had fun playing with Heartfelt Creations digital kits, and I love that they don't take up extra space in my craft room....well, not until I start cutting a bunch of card parts.
This is the second card made with their Iris Garden digital kit. I will be adding a sentiment eventually, but not until I decide who will be the recipient, and know what seems appropriate for that individual. It's just a good, generic card to send to a friend.
I used no special techniques, but I added a bit of dimension with foam tape. The card has 4 layers, not counting the blue/purple card stock base: background with birds/birdhouse, fence, yellow iris, and the blue iris.
I have been playing a bit more with the Heartfelt Creations digital card making files. This one is from their Iris Garden collection. It's not a standard size. I'll need to make a custom envelope.
The cut apart card base has a yellow printed scalloped shape and iris image, but I also had the die that cuts the scalloped shape, and printed a duplicate of the iris image in the center. I popped them with foam tape on top of the 2D card. I added the vase and iris fllowers, and popped them just where they extended beyond the scalloped shape. I also added Wink of Stella to the iris blooms inside the shape and in the vase, although the shimmer from Wink of Stella doesn't show in the photo.
I have been downloading, printing, and cutting a variety of Heartfelt Creations designs. I am delighted that they will continue to make their designs available, but in digital formal. The designs are print and cut files, but can also just be used as digital files. Anyway, I had a blast printing and cutting designs, but finally used them to make a card. It probably doesn't show, but I added a bit of Wink of Stella to add shimmer, which really looks lovely in person. There are 4 layers of papers/die cuts.
These images were from their Garden Lily Collection.
I have a stamp that I love, which I combined with Silhouette designs I'd bought for this tag. I have four more to make for the swap, but it's a start.
I belong to a card/scrapbook Facebook group that does swaps. I have not participated in this before, since I am fairly new and wanted to understand how it worked. I have decided to join at least one swap, which has a Star Wars theme.
I got this die at a convention, along with others, but this one seems to be the fastest and easiest to put together, since I have to make 4 for the swap:
