On a Bicycle Built for Two

Hi Everyone
I just received a new  stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle and I am really excited to show it to you.
This is the new set: Set 494 Bicycles  (LOVE IT) See it here

Bicycles are such great images. 

I made a card that incorporated a handmade element and I thought you'd be interested in this card and how I made the tree..

This card was so fun to make. As I was putting the components together to make this card, I envisioned a tree over on one side. I had a doily on my table and as I was getting this card together I thought  the doily reminded me of the greenery of a tree. So that is how the tree came into being. That tree was so easy to make, so let me show you.how I did this.

Are you familiar with the Martha Stewart Circle Edge Punch?? Well this nifty tool will make a doily between 6" and12". 

So I made a 6" doily and I used a green designer paper 

Next I used a branch die.

I cut out 2 of the branches

And I positioned one over the other to look like a large branch jutting off the main tree trunk. 

 Next I trimmed off the excess and glued the 2 tree pieces together.

Now if you lay the tree trunk on top of the doily, its starting to look like a tree, isn't it.

The tree is sitting in the corner of the card so I cut off the excess of  doily. 

Next I attached the tree top (doily) to the corner of the card.

Attaching the trunk is really making that tree come alive.

 Slide the framed designer paper under the tree. 

Now I added some leaf clumps by using pieces I cut from the remaining piece of the doily. I cut 4-5 round pieces using the scalloped edges.

I used dimensional foam and placed these over the tips of the branch ends.

Using dimensional glue I added green Flower Soft.

Now the tree is finished.

I just added a bicycle to the card to make it appear that it is coming out of the picture and I added the sentiment to the top left. This was a fun card to make and I hope you liked it!!!

Another Cornish Heritage Farms card

Hi Everyone
I originally made this card for yesterdays post, however I felt it was too much like a post I had done about a month ago. So I made a different card for my CHF challenge and decided to show this one today.

For my card, I used SL3145 French Script and I stamped it on the checkered patterned paper. I also used a bicycle and sentiment stamp from set ATC-5008  Bicycle Life.

I love the blue and brown combo, it just looks great together, I think. And don't be afraid to use corrugated pieces from boxes. It just adds great visual interest to your project.

Thanks for stopping back today. See you all soon,

Barbara

CHF05 Summer

Hi Everyone
It's time for the CHF challenge again. Time flies doesn't it. The hostess  is Anne and her challenge theme is SUMMER..

I remember when I was a kid, I rode my bike everywhere, all summer. It was like my car. I just received some new CHF sets and  Bicycle Life was one of them. So I thought I'd go back in time and use this stamp on my card.

I stamped the French Script on to my panel, then stamped the bicycle image over that. Next I added the Spellbinders tag and used the words from my computer. I added some ribbon and some bronze paper and made photo corners and here is my card with my take on the summer theme.
