RED WHITE AND BLUE
I've actually got a couple of cards for the challenge. The first one is using my Spellbinders Cut, Fold and Tuck dies using red, white and blue cardstock. In the centre of each is a pearl brad of the same colour. I've used a Martha Stewart edge punch to make the central border. The sentiment is on a sheet of clear stamps but doesn't say where it's from. I've finished off with 3 tiny red gems.
The second card I couldn't resist............. it's actually a freebie topper from Crafters' Companion and I thought it was really appropriate for this weekend. All I've done is added a cross of red ribbon and put the topper on top.
Hope you've all had a great bank holiday weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving comments - it's very much appreciated.
Two great cards Karen your first one is my favourite

Those die cut rosettes are amazing Karen and beautifully patriotic, but I must say I'm a big fan of the Keep Calm trend and it works so well for this weekend! Thanks for your birthday wishes! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, great cards! I love the new tuck and fold dies but haven't tried them yet but they are definitely intriguing.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards - those dies look fab. I've been in Torquay today and it's been exceptionally damp - an unfortunately typical bank holiday!

Hi Karen - two super CAS cards - the new floral dies are so different, and give a fabulous effect. Love the "Keep Calm and Craft On" image - that's one Keep Calm sentiment I haven't seen before - I want one to hang in my craft room!
