Let’s start with an easy one!

 

In addition to the card base, there are 3 additional layers to this card:  white on top, then black, then red.

After you’ve assembled these, add the three gems on each of the bottom corners and you are finished!  See, I told you it was simple!  Inside it says Happy Valentines Day.

Another lady with a hat

 

This is the second in a series of 3 “lady with hat” files I purchased and then modified.  Just follow along with the pictures below.

Don’t pay attention to how crooked my pieces are.  It’s hard to assemble the pieces without gluing them down.

A male easel card

 

This is another card where you should be able to follow along with the pictures.  I did pop up the Jeep and the gear with Happy Birthday on it.

Make sure you position the Happy Birthday gear where it will hold the easel open.

Have fun!  

3 orchids in a box

 The hardest thing about this card is distressing each of the petals of the 3 orchids.  There is vellum behind each of the brown pieces which is hard to see in the photos (other than the back piece).

The green leaves and stems only fit one way so dry fit them before you glue them down.

I did not take pictures of the individual petals (senior moment) but as I said earlier, I edged each of them with a light ink to add dimension to them.

Have fun making this one.

Happy Birthday

 When you pick up your kits today, we’re going to fold this card because it can be a little daunting.

This is how to decorate it.

This shows the folds.

Now fold it and your card is finished.

Simple sympathy card

 

Attach the white embossed piece to the left side of the black piece, leaving a black border around it. Attach the black piece to the white card base, matching the loops.  Don’t bother putting glue on the loops.

Attach the front sentiment as well as the inside sentiment and your card is complete.

A friendly card

I forgot to use the picture which shows the pink pearls across the top border.  Anyway, I sent this picture to my sister and her opinion was “that’s weird “ but I like it and hope you do too.

 You have 2 large patterned pieces but one is larger than the other.  Use the solid side of the large one to attach to the card base.  Then attach the patterned piece on top of the solid piece.  Leave a border around the entire patterned piece.

Attach the patterned butterfly to the solid butterfly, putting glue just on the outside edges.  Leave the inside butterfly loose so you can lift up the wings.  

Attach the frame to the sentiment and secure it on the card.

All done!

 

Happy Valentines Day!

 As box cards go, this is very simple to put together.  Just follow along with the photos.

Now that you have all the segments assembled, fold your box in the normal way and then put the inserts into the box.  The segment with the heart at the top with the arrow through it goes in the back.  The segment in front of the back segment says Love You, and the front segment is the Cupid.  It doesn’t matter if you put the separate Cupid in the front or the back of the Cupid insert.  It is there just to add stability.
