Thursday Freebies Folks!

Hi there! I hope you are all having a great day πŸ™‚ With mother’s day right around the corner I thought I would whip up a few cards using my new Old Paper set, my old Fancy Flowers set , my Envelope Bonanza templates and today’s freebie:

Stamps: Old Paper, Fancy Flowers, Envelope Template: Envelope Bonanza all from Lindsay's stamp stuff

Tip of the day: don’t be Lazy, make matching envelopes πŸ™‚ If you have a Cricut and SCAL software you can cut my Envelope Bonanza Templates in Seconds! If you don’t you can make the printable envelopes in a minute or two, no excuses πŸ˜‰

These cards qualify for the following challenges: Clearly I Stamp, Craft Your PAssion, Creative Card Crew,Β  Dare you to Digistamp,Β Β  One Stitch at a time,Β  Paper Cutz, Paper Popsicles and the middle card is for 2 Sketches 4 You.

The paper and stamps were all printed on one sheet of cardstock, I layered the stamps over the paper and filled the center with the paint bucket tool using white at 100% then added the flower stamp over that. I filled in the “torn” pieces with the paintbucket using white at 40% so it would be a bit lighter than the background then I added a drop shadow (very blurry) to give a little more depth, You get a nice 3-D effect that way! Here is how my sheet of cardstock looked:

By arranging this in Paint Shop Pro before printing I get all of the paper and elements for 3 cards on one sheet of cardstock! And I saved it so it is ready next time I need a quick card. I let the flower are white so I could color it with Copics:)

Now you could simply print the torn stamp on pattern paper and color the torn paper bits with a white colored pencil and cut out the center to layer over a stamped image too, it is up to you and how you prefer to craft:) There is no right or wrong way! Here is a closer look at the cards:

Now for the freebie, I made a little set of tickets you can use for cards, I love them because they are easy to color and trim and FREEEEEEE! Click the pic to download!

  5. These are great cards and thank you for the free tickets. They look great. … I agree with you on the envelopes … We spend so much time on the cards but all too often let ourselves down with the envelopes or boxes we use :-(. Petra.x
