Cards inspiration

Today we, Christy, Lesley and Monika, are hoping to inspire you with some cards!

Monika: The paper pad from the Up, up and away collection is perfect for those male cards that I find so difficult to create. I´m actually not a card maker, but the paper pads are perfect for cards! I´ve used my sewing machine on this card, which I think adds an extra touch.

Materials used:
Paper pad Up up and Away PP826, Clear Stamps CS747, Clear stamp letters CS724, Grosgrain ribbon R1601, Printed Chipboard CB111, Card and envelope Taupe EF003

Monika: I have used the Lush paper pad for this really simple and quick card. This is the kind of card that will work for every occasion and it´s so perfect to have a few of these al finished just in case. I have also used the new Script clear stamp on the back ground. I only wish I could read what is says, I bet it´s a love letter

Products used:
Card and envelope White EF001, Clear stamps: Script CS752, Paper pad PP825, Grosgrain ribbon R1601, Rhinestone strips RS456

Christy:  The colors of the Up Up and Away collection are wonderfully welcoming and soft, perfect for just about any project.  One of my favorite things to add to a card or layout is a little extra dimension with a diecut or punched border.  The diecuts included in the 6 x 6 paper pad are just right for the card I am sharing today.

Product List:  Up Up And Away 6 x 6 Paper Pad PP826, Up Up And Away Rub-ons RB869, Up Up And Away Chipboard Buttons CB111, Grossgrain Ribbon R1612, Envelopes EF002.

Lesley: I used the Up, up and Away collection to create this card with a scene when you open it up. I love those hot air ballons and wanted to make it look like they were floating in air. I used the diecut edges for hills and used stamps to create foilage. I also used the foam tape to add dimension to the card. I had so much fun making this card.
