Deepest Sympathy

Hi everyone!  It's Jenn posting today.  None of us really like to think about it but unfortunately, there are times when we least expect it and we need a sympathy card. So, I like to make at least one sympathy card a month to have on hand. 

I started with a 5.5" square card base of Stardream Emerald. It has such a beautiful subtle sheen to it and really coordinated well with the greenery in the designer paper from the Webster's Pages Ladies & Gents/Trendsetters Collection Combo Pack. This collection is also in the clearance section of the store now! Since I already knew in my mind that I wanted to work with the 3-D Die-cut Red Roses, I chose a rose pattern to add to the base of my card. 

Before I assembled my rose I knew that I wanted a nice base to display it on. I used the French Pastry Doily Die and the Stardream Chiara Coral cardstock to create a lovely pale pink doily to mat the rose on. Then I began to assemble the rose using foam pads.

For finishing touches, I added a Mini Flourish Band in Stardream Emerald. 

What a beautiful card, Jenn!!!

3D Metallic Rose Bouquet

Hi everyone!

The card I'm sharing today was really fun and easy to make!  Not many supplies were required and I think it's a very elegant card!  Do you agree??

The base mat and the mat for the rose bouquet are from some sage cardstock that I have had for ages.  The color was a perfect match for the floral mat which is from the Lake House 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 pad from Kaisercraft.  This paper pad has some gorgeous designs!

I cut the Romantic Rectangle mat and layered the rose bouquet from the 3D Metallic Pre-Cut Red Rose sheet.  Each sheet has three bouquets.  The pieces are pre-cut and numbered which make it so easy to assemble!  The metallic sheen of the roses is much more appreciated in real life.

I used the Joy! Foam Pads - both large and small to give dimension to the bouquet.  I used my Tweezer Bees to place the pieces of the bouquet.  Using the Tweezer Bees makes placement very easy!  

And there you have it!  Here's a closer view of the bouquet.

Floral Friendship

Hello everyone!  It's Jennipher and I'm back with a 3D Floral Friendship card. If you've not tried any of the 3D art that Beverly has in the store, you really should. The flowers are a cinch to put together and the pieces are numbered.

I chose to work with the 3D Die Cut - Red Roses. The die cut sheet comes with three different roses for you to assemble. Today I worked with the one on the lower portion of the sheet.

I started with a 4.25x5.5 base of Azalea cardstock. This is a gorgeous shimmery pink/rose color and it reminds me of the blooms my Mom would get on her azalea bushes when I was a child. Next, I added a Fanciful Flourish cut out of Chiara Coral cardstock. This is the most beautiful pale pink with a lovely shimmer. Then, I begin to build my rose on top of the flourish. I used large and small Joy! foam pads to adhere the different pieces.

For finishing touches, I die-cut a Sizzix label and stamped my sentiment on it. I added liquid pearls in Rouge around the label for some added pop. 

This card came together quickly and easily and it's all because of that fabulous 3D Art!  Give it a try. You won't regret it! 

Supplies:
Azalea cardstock
Chiara Coral cardstock
Cheery Lynn Designs Fanciful Flourish
3D Art Red Roses
Joy! foam pads large
Joy! foam pads small

I love making these 3D images!   So fun!!!!

Holly's Zig Zag Accorrdian card with Darling Daisies!!!

Hi folks!  It's Holly posting today, and I'm sharing this fun 3D card with you.  The products from Classy Cards 'n Such that I've used here are:

 

Happy Birthday stamp set (Stampavie)

Country Girl Border die (Cheery Lynn Designs)

Darling Daisies (Cheery Lynn Designs)

Small Angel Wing (Cheery Lynn Designs)

Exotic Butterfly Small (Cheery Lynn Designs)

Classic Scallop Oval Large die (Spellbinders)

I created the card base first, which is a Zig Zag Accordian card from one of the Technique Junkies' CDs (Fancy Folds and Motion Paper Crafts).  Then I added the layers of patterned paper and cut a bunch of daisies from the Darling Daisies die.  I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with the Classic Oval Large die and then matted it with a Classic Scallop Oval Large die cut.  There was a little space left over at the bottom of the sentiment, so I stamped the little flower (also from the Happy Birthday set) and colored it in with Copic markers. 

 

On the front panel, I added the Country Girl Border die cut from dark brown cardstock, and then adhered three stacked daisies onto that.  The middle panel has one of the stacked daisies popping on the side, and then I added two more daisies to the background.  I die cut the butterfly and then die cut the matching Angel Wing from dark brown cardstock to put behind the pale peach butterfly.  I used my fingers to fluff up the butterfly and the flower petals.  This card folds flat so it can be mailed in a regular envelope.  :-)

Thanks, Holly!    Love this cute card!!!  Those Darling Daisies are so fun!!  Grab yours now.  Click any of the gold links above to be taken directly to the item in the Classy Cards shop.

Italian Flourish and Roses - 3D art!!!

Hello Classy Cards 'n Such Friends! This is Chrissy D sharing a card with you today! I had so much fun playing as I created this birthday Card! 

I started with peach cardstock and ran it through my die cut machine with the Dots embossing folder. I adhered it to a strip of black cardstock. I used the Italian Flourish Doily from Cheery Lynn Designs cut in the Layering Swatches #2 Deep variety- black. I cut the Italian Flourish Doily in half using my paper trimmer and used the Quickie Glue Pen to adhere it to the 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" vanilla cardstock.

I used the Fanciful Flourish Die from Cheery Lynn with olive cardstock and adhered it using the Quickie Glue Pen. I then added the peach and black panel and adhered the Tea Rose Latte Mulberry Roses with glue dots. I wrapped the Eggshell Seam Binding around and tied a bow to finish off the embellishments. Once everything was pieced together and adhered, I stamped the sentiment from the Topsy Turvy Cakes stamp set from JustRite.

This card was a QUICK card to make and I love how the Italian Flourish Doily and Tea Rose Latte Mulberry Roses jazz it up! These dies are so much fun to play with!  

Thanks, Chris!!!  This beautiful card is another example that would qualify for entry into our current 3D challenge!! All of the details are here!  Won't you join us???

Debbie's Challenge #6

This card was made for the Classy Cards 3D Challenge!!  I used something different on this card, a kit that is sold by Classy Cards 'n Such.   I  saw this in a magazine and thought they were so pretty and I had to give this a try.

The kit I used was the Easel 3D Card Floral Mirror Design set 1.  You also need the Joy! Foam Pads to assemble the 3D focal point.  I needed to dress it up a little bit so I used a Cheery Lynn Exotic Butterfly small (formerly called mini), and the Cheery Lynn Lace Corner Deco A.  I added some small pearls and added dimension with foam mounting tape under the sentiment to finish my card.

This is a really simple and easy kit to work with and they leave you some space to make the card your own or just leave it as it came from the kit. It's great either way!

Make sure you show us your 3D art work by joining in the challenge.  Details here!

Thanks!!

Chris' Challenge #6

Hello Everyone! This is Chrissy D! Welcome to the Classy Cards 'n Such Blog! This week Classy Cards 'n Such is challenging you to make a 3D project! For my project, I created a Goodie Purse using the Technique Junkie Newsletter 3-D and Fun Folds CD! This little purse is so fun to make and decorate. It would be a perfect inexpensive gift to fill with lip gloss, candy or even a gift card or cash!

I started the purse by using patterned paper. Classy Cards 'n Such has a BEAUTIFUL array of Patterned Papers for you to design with! The words I used on my project come from the JustRite Stamp set called Topsy Turvy Cakes.

To create the cute little flower, I used the Miniature Rose Die from Cheery Lynn Designs along with the Paper Blossoms Tool Kit to help curl the flower blossoms. To adhere all of the little blossoms together, I used the Sakura Quickie Glue Pen. To complete the flower, I added the Viva Decor Pearl Pen Ice White on the internal portion of the flower and around the scallop punch layer to decorate the words a bit. To further embellish this cute little purse, I added a bow using the Red and Green Doodle Twine - Christmas Assortment.

Some additional tools that I used are:

Scallop Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1 1/2" Circle Punch, Scallop Border Punch, 1/16th hole punch, Scoring Tool, Large Oval Punch, Magnets

I hope you will join us in the 3D Challenge! Have a wonderful day!

Thanks, Chris!  Cute purse!!!

Another beautiful card from Jennipher...

Hello everyone! it's Jennipher and I'm back with another card using the fabulous 3D art available at Classy Cards ''n Such online store.

For my card I chose to work with the Passion Flower, Camelia, Honeysuckle 3D die-cut sheet. I created my card base and then I added various layers of Laced with Grace designer paper. Some of the layers I matted with Esse Smooth Pearlized Cocoa paper. I added a bit of White Flower Eyelet Trim to one of the cardstock layers.

My focal point of the card is the 3D flower which I put together with large and small Joy Foam Pads. These flowers are super easy to put together and make for a really elegant card. People will think that you have worked on them for hours!

For finishing touches I added some Red Rhinestones by Want 2 Scrap.

Beverly has added some gorgeous Glitz Paper Pads to the store which is where my gorgeous designer paper came from. You need to check out these paper pads. I got one of each and I'm loving them!

Supplies:
3D Art flower die-cut sheet
Esse Smooth Pearlized Cocoa
Laced with Grace Glitz Paper Pad
White Flower Eyelet Trim
Want 2 Scrap Red Rhinestones
Joy Foam Pads

Thanks, Jenn!!

Lilac 3D Art from Linda

Linda has another of her beautiful creations to share.   This one is that oh-so-pretty and oh-so-easy 3D art!   Linda is a fan of pink and chose the lilacs to work with on this card.  The lilacs are included on a sheet of 3D art with two other beautiful flowers.  Linda used Spellbinders Labels Eighteen to cut the base for the lilacs.  She built dimension into the image by layering with the large Joy! foam pads as well as the small Joy! foam pads.  These tiny foam pads are so handy for small work like this!  And these sheets of foam pads last a LONG time...especially the small size.  The Crafter's Tools are ideal for placing these pads!

Linda die cut two white and two pink mini butterflies, combined alternate colors and shaped their wings for dimension.  She added pink pearls to their bodies and to the corners of the card.  The Get Well Soon sentiment is from the gold multi-sayings outline stickers.  She finished the card with a pretty light pink bow and a gold frame using fine border thick thin stickers.

Thanks, Linda!!!
