Aloe plant – wishing you… card

Happy Saturday and wishing you a song in your heart! The background paper on this card is white felt and I used glue to assemble all the pieces except the aloe plant in a pot. For the aloe plant, a 3D foam square was used to pop it up (tip below!) and it was colored with alcohol ink markers. The white swatch with the words and squares is dull glossy paper.

Tip: cut foam squares in half diagonally to create triangles for smaller pieces. And in half again if needed!

Hello

Happy Friday! My apologies to those who couldn’t see the photo yesterday! I’m not sure what happened. Technical glitch or something. Hopefully it is fixed on the website now and I’ve included it in this post again so you can see in the email.

For this card, same scalloped circle paper as yesterday and I colored the aloe with alcohol ink markers. The lines were created with a marker too but could easily be created with the HH10 Skinny Geometric stamp. Just couldn’t find it when making this card. Working on organization! To create the dots – used a Ranger Glitz Stickle. I might need to add a ribbon yet, like the coffee card.

Dull Glossy Paper

Happy Tuesday! Sending kind words, peace and care.

For this card, the aloe was stamped first on a scrap of dull gloss white paper to set aside to allow time to dry. Then the square was cut out on a dull gloss swatch (4” x 5.25”). Stamped the words next to allow time to dry before assembling. Once the potted aloe is dry enough, it can be cut out and colored with alcohol ink markers. All that’s left is to glue/tape swatch onto cardstock, then put 3D pop up on aloe and attach in window. Quick and easy! The cut out square was saved for another card which will hopefully get finished and posted later this week.
