One-Liner Cards

The focal point of this weeks cards were the beautifully simple but effective one-liner dies, by Creative Expressions. Yvonne used the Butterfly and Balloon designs but there are several others to choose from, so be sure to check them out.  

Pixie powders have been used to create the vibrant colours on the inner die sections of the butterflies and balloons, with a dark or mirri card outline, to build contrast. Also, to give additional emphasis on the balloon card,  plain white dies cuts have been added to the background which act almost as a embossed effect. With the Butterfly cards, die-cuts are inlaid on a matt and layered with a die cut  decorative background.  

Products used:

• One-Liner Dies
• Decorative background Dies 
• Cardstock

Spinner Surprise

It focused on a fun aspect that can be incorporated within the design. A spinner card is essentially where part of the card can be wound up (in this case the middle sentiment), then when given to the recipient upon taking out of the envelope, the card comes alive and spins!  

One card was decorated in lovely floral paper from the 'Rosy Delight' The Paper Boutique pad, this card was subtle and elegant suiting a range of occasions. 

Where as the other card was more bold and contrasting in colours using black, white and a vibrant orange. Why not go bold and stand out!

Products used:
