Hello Classy Friends, Diane here with you on the blog today.
I have been making so many A2 cards that I decided to step a bit out of the box
and get slightly more creative!
Today I have a very easy and fun card to show you, a "Z" card
I am sure you have seen these here and there and I noticed there are
several versions of them.....
I went for the "simple" version!!
My card was started with a cream card stock base.
I covered the front and back of the card for a more professional look,
starting with the front using Stardream Serpentine Pearlized Metallic paper
which I embossed with a Crafts Too Mini Fans embossing folder.
The rest of the card was covered with beautiful papers from
Prima Zephyr 6x6 paper stack.
Before adhering all my papers down with 1/2" Scor-tape,
I used the Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool with TH Distressed Inks
on all edges of my papers...
I think it gives a more finished look to the card, blending all the papers together.
I used a ribbon from my stash on one of the panels of the card,
which I glued a resin Whimsy Heart to the bows center.
To decorate the front of my card I cut two sets of Memory Box Blushing Bouquet
that I colored with copics.
The little bow on the front is so precious!!
It is Memory Box Tiny Bow
The inside of the card I used a sentiment from JustRite Poppies Label Twenty Nine
which was stamped and cut on Spellbinders Floral Ovals
If you would like to try one of these cards, I have a "rough" diagram for you
this is very easy using a 8 1/2" x 11" card stock...
save the upper piece to make a smaller version of the "Z" card!!
I hope this has inspired you to try one of these cards...they are so fun and easy...
the hard part is deciding how you want to decorate them!
