More ideas on Greeting Cards

Various greeting cards are always handy to have – be it forgotten birthday, leaving do or get-well-soon, handmade cards are so much more personal and meaningful than the mass-produced ones.

Two of our Crew share with us their take on greeting cards today.
Both layered, one full of mixed-media textures the other delicate and understated…
Let’s take a look at both!

Katie Lamb – Friendship with Gypsy Moments

I wanted to create a shabby chic style card that had a lot of texture and layers. – says Katie.

Katie used the following CCB products:
7gypsies 8×8 Gypsy Moments paper pad
Tattered Angels Chalkboard Mist Paint – Valencia
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist – Cross My Heart
Scraps by the Pound

• Cover a 6 x 6 card using patterned paper from the Gypsy Moments paper pad. Add a few strips of washi tape to the corners of the card and rub gesso over the top and then stamp along the edges with a texture stamp.
• Cut a wide strip of lace and glue to half of the card. Use one of the 4 x4 squares from the scrap pack and adhere to centre of the card. Cut a strip of floral patterned paper and adhere across the card.
• Adhere a white lace along the bottom of the floral strip. Cut out a piece of corrugated card and ink the edges before adhering to the card. Cut out a topper from the Gypsy Moments 8×8 pad and adhere to centre of corrugated card.
• Tip: Use spritzing inks to dye white paper flowers to match any project.
• Decorate the card with flowers.
