Hello Classy Cards 'n Such blog fans!
I'm Debbie, and I help Beverly out with behind the scenes work for the blog and other things. It's a lot of fun getting to see the Design Team's creations in advance, plus all the neat stuff that Beverly orders for Classy Cards 'n Such store.
When I saw the Prairie Chic 6 x 6 paper pad by Bo Bunny, I knew right away what I wanted to do for a card.
For the base of my cards, I like to use 110 lb. weight cardstock. This gives me a nice sturdy background to add layers.
The background gray wood paper is from the Prairie Chic 6 x 6 paper pad by Bo Bunny. Using a dual tipped ball stylus from the Paper Blossoms Paper Tool Kit, I embossed the lines between the planks of wood. To make the wood look more aged, I sanded the paper with a sanding block and rubbed white ink for a weathered look.
The Wagon Wheel and Barbed Wire are new from Cheery Lynn Designs. They are the perfect accents for the background paper. The deep detail on both dies really gives the feel of old and worn. First I sanded the wheel and used a brown marker to bring out the depth of the wood of the wheel. I used the small Joy! Foam Pads to give dimension under both dies. For the center hub of the wheel, I added a brass colored brad.
Since I wanted the Wagon Wheel and Barbed Wire to look like they had been forgotten in time, I used dark green cardstock and cut apart the new PoppyStamps Leafy Sprig Border and wove the sprigs between the wheel spokes. Glossy Accents was used to adhere the sprigs to the back of the wheel.
I added the Grass Border die from Impression Obsession. I cut the grass in both tan and olive green cardstock and added more Joy! Foam Pads for depth.
To finish the shabby look, the flowers are from the Memory Box die Flower Mound. I used the small dual tipped stylus from the Paper Blossoms Paper Tool Kit to shape the flowers and glued them on with Glossy Accents.
Other tools used:
Tweezer Bee
Paper Blossoms Craft Molding Mat
Silhouette Pick-Me-Up - to pick up flowers
Metal Snippers - to cut apart the Barbed Wire die
Crafters Tools - to pop out flowers from die
Thanks for letting me share my card. Have a great day!

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.

Hi everyone! I needed a masculine birthday card and those are always challenging for me. However, with the new Deer Trio from Memory Box, it became much easier!
The card base is kraft paper. I cut a beige mat using the new A2 Matting Basics B and then a smaller mat with the next smaller size. I embossed the brown, smaller mat using the Bricks and Bark M-Bossabilities. LOVE how this worked! It did require a different sandwich in my Cuttlebug - A plate, M-Bossabilities with cardstock inside, C plate. It seemed like it wasn't quite as tight as I'm used to but I got a good imprint.
I cut a white Mega Ovals, LG from Spellbinders and stamped the trees. I cut the Deer Trio from white cardstock and sponged it with Antique Linen. The Deer Trio comes with a paper base when you cut it out, but I wanted them spaced differently, so I cut the base away and mounted them with varying heights of foam pads. I used gold lines to frame the card front.
I did a similar design inside, just on a smaller scale. I used a Birthday Rubz for the sentiment and adhered it to the white cardstock by using a McGill stylus. The Tweezer Bees are great for placing mats and other items on your cards. It keeps fingers out of the line of vision. :-)
