Good Luck Card with Dana Tatar

Hi! Dana Tatar here today sharing a fun sparkly card that I created for the upcoming St. Patrick's Day holiday.

To create my glittery stripes, I simply cut pieces of Double-Sided Tape to fit my patterned paper. I removed the backing and sprinkled each piece of tape with glitter. The Double-Sided Tape made quick work of adhering glitter to my paper. The adhesive on this tape is very strong, so my glitter stays in place!

To create my sentiment base I used the largest Cameo Nesting Die and the two largest Oval Nesting Dies. I cut a piece of green glitter cardstock with the Cameo Nesting Die. I used a gauze cardstock with the largest Oval Nesting Die for a fun layer of texture and a plain piece of white cardstock with the smaller Oval Nesting Die. I cut four hearts from green foil cardstock using the Berardi Intricutz Die, which I used to form my four-leaf clover.

To create my four-leaf clover I first folded each heart in half. I then added Double-Sided Tape to one side of each heart and secured the hearts to my die-cut base. By alternating which side of each heart is secured to the die-cut base, I created a fun dimensional clover. I tied a double loop bow with green string and attached that to the center of my clover, pulling the ends of the bow down to form the stem of the clover. I topped the bow with a small white rose.

I mounted the clover piece onto the card base with Foam Mounting Tape. To embellish the card I added liquid pearls around the clover, a sentiment sticker and a brown bow.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Glamour Days Flamingo Card with Dana Tatar

Hi! Dana here today sharing a card highlighting one of the new dies from Couture Creations. I absolutely love this Flamingo Die from the Glamour Days Intricutz Die Collection! I'm so ready for Spring and had a lot of fun putting this tropical card together.

I added some texture with a burlap frame that I cut using the largest Cameo Nesting Die. I cut a smaller piece of cardstock with the largest Oval Nesting Die and lined the edge with a pearl pen.

I wanted to make my flamingo look as lifelike as possible, so I used the Flamingo Die to cut two flamingos from patterned paper, one pink and the other orange. I cut the orange legs and beak from one die-cut and layered them on top of the pink flamingo die-cut. I blurred the seams with pink and orange ink for a smooth finish. I added a Blue Iceberg Gemstone for the flamingo's eye.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you are finding a way to stay warm!
