A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

One More Valentine and Winter Wishes

Still trying to get my Valentines posted.  This one is for Sisterhood of Crafters "Love".

I cut a rectangle of very pale silver shimmer cs that is the same colour as the silver hearts in the piece of ribbon I found in my scrap box. I attached the ribbon down the left side. I die cut the heart cluster and the love sentiment out of red cs, and popped out the interior hearts and set them aside for a future project. I glued the outline hearts to the panel. Then I cut the heart cluster out of white glitter cs and popped out the interior hearts and added them to the interiors of the outline hearts. For some dimension, I popped the panel up on fun foam on a white card base.

For The Four Seasons Challenge "Winter" and Word Power "The Sentiment as Focus".

I made a background with light blue Magicals sprinkled on mixed media cs and spritzed with water. The snowflakes are die cut from glitter cs; the sentiment from blue shimmer cs.

  2. Such pretty hearts on the first, and I just love that red ribbon with the silver hearts attached down the side and the cluster of hearts filled in with the white glitter card look wonderful Susan. The terrific Magicals background on the second makes a great backdrop to the off white glitter card snowflakes, and the blue shimmer cardstock works well for the die cut sentiment..another fabulous card. x

  5. What a great pair of cards. The Valentine is just perfect with all of those pretty hearts, and the winter wishes looks frosty cold with the way you colored it. I really like that die-cut sentiment with all those delicate snowflakes.
