FLOWER BASKET CARD

PINK AND BLACK FLORAL BASKET CARD

Who would have thought that one of Regal's square black singlefold cards could end up looking so cheerful.

Tania has dressed the card up with several layers of paper and made a feature with a basket cut with a Marianne Craftable Design die and decorated with little pink EK Success "flower power" punched flowers.

The whole card is finished with a strip of stripy ribbon and a hand-tied bow.

Instead of pink, you could substitute the receiptient's favourite colour!!

QUOTE CARD

QUOTE CARD

A really simple card suitable for men or women this week - the quote is from a sheet of Graphic45 paper.  Start with an ivory Regal Craft Card, add some matting, some mesh, three paper flowers a few black rhinestones and some punched circles (tucked under the straight edge to make the scallops) and there you are!!
I'm including this in the 5-minute card category as its not at all complicated, although you might have to have all your materials at the ready and work at an impressive pace to get it finished in this time!!

RIBBON SLOT BOOKMARK CARD

RIBBON SLOT BOOKMARK CARD

This is another card from my last demo.  Regal's Ribbon Slot cards are great for threading but they are also a nice way to include a little gift with a card.  In this case I've used some Christina Re paper with Botany (natural) and made a little bookmark from a paperclip and a die-cut from a Kaiser paper pad.  You could also make Ribbon slot cards with hair clips or small decorated pegs etc.  This version would look nice with a big paper daisy on the top of the paperclip and some matching floral paper.

STAMP WITH COLOURED PAPER

STAMP WITH COLOURED PAPER

Its a bit had to see that I've used a Regal soft cream singlefold base  for this card, as it's covered in Kaiser paper!!.  The vertical lace strip is cut from the same piece of paper but real lace or ribbon could be used.  The stamp is from Graphic45 and I've stamped a second image onto a piece of blue patterned paper, cut out the second bird down and glued it to the base image.  This is one of my favourite ways to add colour - its quick and easy, very effective, and doesn't involve blending!!
