Split Cards Using CrafTangles Vintage Rosette Paper Pad

Happy Weekend!

At this time of year I always have a large number of thank you cards stored as the school year is coming to an end and not only do I thank the teachers but there are many others I thank on behalf of the boys.  I've taken the opportunity to make a set using the CrafTangles Vintage Rosette paper pad.


Split cards were one of the first types of cards I mastered when I began cardmaking.  I'm sharing a variation on this post. The first is card is a traditional split card where you cut out the middle of a sheet of paper and stick the top and bottom parts back on.  I've added a contrasting colour card in the middle and a topper cut from the paper pad. 


To finish I've added glitter nuvo drops and a die cut sentiment.

Next up I've used the same principle as my first card only the split is vertical, slimmer and to the left of my card.


I've added a doily and matt and layered a topper before adding a die cut sentiment and some nuvo drops to finish.

For my final card I have made the split diagonal and I customised the paper by stamping thanks on it!


I fussy cut one of the flower arrangements from the pad and went around it with ink then added some crystal nuvo drops that give the effect of water drops.


I hope you have a wonderful weekend,

Floral Stamped Cards With And Without Colour - CrafTangles DT

Happy Thursday!

What a week it's been - lots and lots of papercrafting going on with very tight deadlines.  I've really enjoyed it and even though I have more work to complete I took a break to finish off these floral cards that I coloured in last week.

I find colouring therapeutic.  I need time to colour - it's something that can't be rushed for me.  So in this post I've picked a couple of the latest floral stamp sets from CrafTangles.


For my first card I used my Zig Clean Color Brush Pens on watercolour card.  The tulips are just gorgeous aren't they?  Roll on Spring!


Next up I used the same stamp set but no colouring.  I just felt the stamp was so detailed and gave such a crisp image that it didn't require any colour.


Instead I masked off the image and used my distress inks to create a colourful background with some spatters of water for added effect!

For my final card,  I opted for kraft card which lends itself so well to coloured pencils.


I love my Chameleon pencils as they have just the right consistency so you can control your shading  easily.  A couple of stitched die cuts finished the card.  You can find more detailed information on how I made these cards on the CrafTangles blog HERE.

I'm afraid I won't be blogging my usual Friday post tomorrow but I'll be back next week!
