First I would like to say a BIG thank you to my American readers who have been watching the "Live" US Create and Craft shows and then taken the time to email me and tell me that they have enjoyed the shows.
It is very heart warming to know that you are there and really lovely to read the comments. It is quite an experience for me as the shows are slightly different ... but although nervous I am enjoying it immensely. I am back on UK Create and Craft on Tuesday and Wednesday this week
This little card is not a very good picture but that is my fault as it was going dark and I was in a hurry to get all the cards photographed.But it uses a little die from the Celebrations Collection from Spellbinders
It is called Treat Toppers and it creates the prettiest little windmills for your card.
Here I have made two from double sided patterned card that is also from the same collection.
I have added in paper swirls to represent the strings from the windmills
In the centre I have added a pearl Brad and added them to the card with foam tape to create different levels.
I created my card base and the double frame from the Pierced Rectangles from the same collection and these will give you the look of a pierced edge without the hard work of doing it yourself
So no ribbons, flowers or pearls on this card but still a neat little card to give and could be for any occasion
More tomorrow ...

I think this card is so cute and festive. Very fun to give. Well done as usual.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Christina. A very 'Happy' Card. Makes one remember childhood with the spots on my dresses I wore at the seaside, and of course the windmills spinning when our family walked along the Promenade. Thank you for bringing back my happy childhood memories. xxx

What a nice, fun card. With the right colours would be great for that difficult recipient, the young boy.

Once again a lovely card,
ReplyDeleteThanks
Very unusual card for Christina, but one a child would like I'm sure.x
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Christina. What a fun card for a chilly Monday morning. I love things like this. I do teabag folding but have never tried a pin wheel...I wouldn't have to worry about making sure I cut it out properly with this die would I. I love it :). x
ReplyDeleteHi Christina, this is such a great card, love the colour and the DS paper. Different from your usual style, but great to have in your other cards. X Ros
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Christina. Variety is the spice of Life and I'm glad you show us all kinds of styles. I agree with Jean and Janice. This card is Fun and Festive and would be perfect for a little boy or little girl, whichever color (colour - when in Rome) you use. I loved the paper swirls. In fact, I thought it was ribbon at first. This is a wonderful interpretation of this die. Love it! Thank you so much for sharing. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely different from your normal style Christina, a cool card for cool kids I think. Pat x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulously fun card Christina!
ReplyDeleteReady for Celebrations with all those whirly windmills.

This one isn't my style but I recently searched your tutorials for "men" cards and discovered the shirt tutorial. After a bit of a struggle I got the hang of it and I'm now on a roll making various sizes - Janice W - could be just the job for boy cards as well!! Thanks Christina x
