Bit by Bit of Designpaper #6 | Create A Smile | Gummiapan

Today I am sharing another card project I have made for the Danish Operation Write Home - Operation Skriv Hjem. 

If was for a card serie called "Bit by Bit of Designpaper" where I focused on using 12 x 12 designpaper with busy colourful patterns.

This is one of the more "busy" cards with I wasn't completely happy with. I should not have used a fishtail die with dots at the edges. It get's too busy in combination with the busy multi-coloured designpaper. I also make bad decisions once in a while but it doesn't matter. Just as long as I learn from it :)

The designpaper is really gorgeous and I have tried to maintain and honor the designpaper by not hiding it away. 

The Danish sentiment means "Congrats".

I have layered the sentiment by gluing together 3 diecuts. This emphasizes the sentiment more on the card.

Happy summer day :)

Delicate Decorations by Create A Smile | Polychromos Colouring | Mama Elephant

Honestly, I am not too happy with this card. I wish I had chosen white cardstock instead of kraft so the colours would be more intense. But then I wouldn't be able to use the white pencil. Oh well, it's still a pretty decent result, right. 

Today I am also on the Danish Operation Write Home blog - Operation Skriv Hjem - where we share Christmas card inspiration every month on the 24th. Go and check it out HERE. 

Polychromos colours:

Have crafty fun!

Bit by Bit of Designpaper #6 | VIDEO |Lawn Fawn | My Favorite Things

Today I am sharing another card project I have made for the Danish Operation Write Home - Operation Skriv Hjem. 

If was for a card serie called "Bit by Bit of Designpaper" where I focused on using some of the 12 x 12 designpaper you never get around to use. Perhaps the pattern is too busy, maybe the colours aren't you anymore or perhaps there is only a big image in one of the corners. 

Doing a video on this came around as I was contacted by a follower of Operation Skriv Hjem, who asked if I could give any advice on how to use designpaper with busy patterns or multicoloured patterns. Then I thought it was so much easier to do a video where I could show this. The advice is quite basic but works. I got my advice back in the days from Kristina Werner and it is worth sharing.

Today I am showing you one of these cards and of course also the video. 

It's hard to see on this photo but behind the LOVE there is a heart shaped raised diecut. The next photo shows it better. 

The sentiment and pink heart have been added a layer of Glossy Accents.

The big heart is popped up using 3D squares. Underneath I have let the pink matte show through. 

I have lastly added a few drops of Nuvo Crystal. These are wonderful to work with and you can make any size you want. Just have to remember to let them dry over night. 

Wishing you a crafty weekend,

Pia
