Seasons Spring Shutter Card

     This is the second card in my Graphic 45 Seasons card collection. This one is a shutter card. I think this is one of the easiest fancy folds to decorate. After matting all of the surfaces, it takes little else to make it look finished.
     I used some ephemera for the sentiment "bless this nest". I added some butterflies punch from a retired Martha Stewart punch.
     The center panel contains a "Spring" tag, a metal key, a chipboard embellishment, ivory organza ribbon, and more butterflies. I made a second card and matted the tag on brown, which was a big improvement.

     I die cut this tag from a Spellbinders die, matted it and added an organza ribbon bow. This is a good place to sign the card. Inspired by: Gloria Stengel.

     I will be making 16 cards and 4 calendars with this Graphic 45 Seasons Paper. All of these SEASON cards can be made using:

  • one sheet of each of the patterned paper 
  • one sheet of each of  Prints and Solids

Like a Tea Bag

      My husband told me a month ago that he needed a retirement card for his boss. I have pained over this. I couldn't think of anything that I liked until he brought me this quote:    
A woman is like a tea bag: you never know her strength until you drop her in hot water. - Nancy Reagan
I had suggested a Z card, but when we were talking in my craft room my husband pointed to a Shutter Card and said, "That card has a lot going on." Final decision: tea theme on a shutter card. 
     I have had this Gorguss stamp for quite some time, but have never used it. There is a tag on the cup that says "Drink Me". I can't think of any occasion for which this sentiment is appropriate. I decided to use it, but cover the words with flowers.

 

     With Copics markers, I practiced the skin and hair before coloring on the stamped image. The hair on the stamped image looks darker, because there are more details in the image. As you can see, I gave absolutely NO attention to the "Drink Me" tag.


     I added some tea elements from a Die-namics die set and some trim from an old Ionic edge punch.


     I printed the quote on heavy card stock and die cut it with a Spellbinders die. I used the die again with Gray Stone paper to frame the quote.


     I also cut mats for the back of the card base using patterned paper. Colleagues will sign those with a handwritten message. I will add those later.
