Phoenix Inspirations

Today I'm going to share with you my Facebook swap card for September. The brief was a cascade card, no flowers or butterflies and no pink, blue, orange or white colours! Here's what I came up with Two slanted pieces of card stock are intertwined to form this complicated looking card. I added a panel to the back of the card to make a little pocket to hold a tag for writing on. Stamp sets used are Papaya Collage and An Open Heart with the background being created with the Hardwood stamp. I used a scallop border punch down the sides and added a label to the front with the sentiment on. Thanks for looking today - see you soon xx

A short step by step tutorial is now on my  Craft Club Blog  (there's also a link in the side bar) - here's the one we made at last week's workshop using the Stampin' Up 2 Step Owl Punch this card is also being entered into Mynnette's  Technique Tuesday Challenge Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

Next Thursday evening I will be having a workshop where we are going to be making Cascade Cards - here's one I made earlier using some Crumb Cake card stock, Everyday Enchantment DSP, Boho Blossoms, 5 Petal Punch and the 2 Step Bird Punch. All the details of what you will need to make this card (should you wish to play along) are over on my  Craft Club Blog  - please do pop over and take a look. Spookily Cascade cards are also the subject of this month's  Technique Tuesday  so I have entered my card there and if you do play along with me next Thursday be sure and post the results there too. Bye for now - Jacqueline xx
