Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Umbrellas'

Hi Everybody,

These cards are the ones that have had the circle die cut turned into an Umbrella and it makes for a very effective card.

The back grounds are also hand created using inks and so of course each one will be different from the other.

I have used the circular box die this and since my brane was at Craft Stash and they have closed their doors there is no point in me adding in any links. 

If you already have the die set then use it  and if not then use any circular die that you may have in your own collection to give you the same look.

It is a fun way to make your dies work and it also uses up any of the larger scraps of card that you may have left over.

The little flower is also from the same set, as are the leaves so I can get most of my elements for this design from the one die set.

You could try stamping an extra pattern onto the die cuts, or colouring it with your favourite medium to make it even more individual 

Bye for now ...

Hugs xx.

  7. Good Evening Christina and all that visit today. These umbrella cards are so lovely and I can't wait to have a go at making some. I have mastered the smooching technique which I am happy about .So there is my first layer card The next thing I need to learn and find out about is the splattering with the gold stuff. What is it that you use Christina. I look forward to learning even more Thankyou. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
