Hi Everyone, Ginny Here and today I’ve made a card with a traditional card using the Magenta’s Daisy Pair stamp, and a Butterfly stencil and my Favorite Heavenly White Papers

Hi everyone, Ginny M here and today I have another digitally printed card using Paper Temptress Amazing papers!

I have printed on Heavenly White 80# using a lovely Gecko Galz image.

Dry embossing a piece of marbled paper from my stash and used  Felt80# for the base.

Fast, simple and lovely – using the best papers really help you have teh best results!

Thanks for stopping by and check out the sumptuous papers at Paper Temptress!

This is a card I made for my Mom’s birthday.  I wanted something bright for the base so Orange Fizz Pop Tones did the trick.

I decided to dig into my dies.  The Aquamarine Mica Metallic is nice and thick and has a sheen to it.  It cut beautifully.  The sentiment and the flower center are cryogen white.  Cryogen is my go to whenever I want to color an image.  It is also good for stamping sentiment.   I added a little bit of color around the edge of the oval with a stipple brush.  The ribbon and sparkly corners were from my stash.

Hello everyone, Ginny M here and today I am bringing you a beautiful digital card with texture enhancements!

Here is my  card:

I have printed this beautiful Image from Geck Galz on Heavenly White 80# paper, and edged the image with black and mounted on mirror board

This really printed up so beautifully!

For my base, I Cricut cut an Anna Griffin lace card.  My paper of choice is a beautiful Ivory 80# felt finish paper.  Because I used a backing paper the 80# weight was just right.

I also added a little bling to her Bon’netto.

This felt finish paper cuts beautifully on the electronic cutting machine and I am sure it would with die cuts.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you try some of Paper temptresses luscious paper in your printer and cutting machines!

This is a card for a girl at work that is retiring.

The base is Pink Basis .  I wanted a contrast so I went with Violet  Mica Metallic.  This cardstock is nice and heavy and did great with the embossing.

I decided that Cryogen White would be great for the tag sentiment.  The green I chose for the leaves is Spring Larch Glimmer.  The flower is Pink Basis and Azelia Mica Metallic.

Finished the tag off with beautiful two sided ribbon

Hi everyone, Ginny Here, I wanted to show you a card I made with a freebie I received!  Because I own several Cricut products, I get a lot of emails to sell me more Cricut products.  I also get notification of freebies for my machines, and like that!  I’m always making birthday cards and recently I got a great  Freebie for birthday cards.  Today I am going to show you how I made a super fast masculine Birthday card.

I’ll show you the card and then the process:

I really wanted to use this Beautiful Nero Incandescent paper by paper temptress as a special focal paper, it is black with a gold shimmer`it is really beautiful! This is a #76cover weight paper and cuts perfectly on the electronic cutting machine and hand cutting dye machine ( I use both!).  Due to my lighting this looks browner than black in this picture. But It is blck with gold shimmer, and just a touch of texture!

I selected a card base, layering, and focal papers

I stamped a watermark image using my Misti and a TH stamp

This was the first time I have used this ink pad, it is a dye base white, I wasn’t sure how well it would work.

It worked great!

I die cut my Happy Birthdays ( this was the Cricut freebie)

And using my Best Glue Ever  I was able to easily dot on the right amount of glue- here I am using the no-clog cap, I keep several bottles on hand one with this fine line no-clog cap and one with the regular tip

 It goes on perfect! and one thing I love using Best Glue Ever, it something is not straight the first time, I have a few seconds to fix it – unlike using  ATG tape!

this fine cut lays perfectly flat

Along with all the layers – no rumpling!

The SVG cut is part of Cricut Access, so if you are a member you can find it over on the Cricut Design Studio.  when I am making masculine cards, they tend to have darker stronger colors on a trick to keep them from looking dismal is to keep your color contrasting high.  This high contrast will draw the eye and have an overall pleasing look.  dark colors can easily look muddy and dismal if the contrast isn’t high.

I hope you found this post helpful to your card making,

thanks for stopping by, Ginny M
