You & Me - Card by Yasmin Tölche

Hello everyone! It's Yasmin from the Creative Team on the blog today. I love playing around with papers and making cards from leftover paper from making bigger things like layouts. Today I  have a card to share.

I've played around with different collections. Marion Smith's collection goes very well together and there's no problem mixing them.

I've used the Romance Novel  2 Collection and loads from the Junque Gyspy collection. The papers are just so gorgeous and devine. I love the vintage feel.

The beautiful key is a junque and gem.. Also the small green gems are Marion Smith Designs Embellishments. I love putting details on my cards like the microbeads.car

Thank you so much for joing me today! :) 

Celebrate Card with Yasmin Tölche

Hello all! It's Yasmin here today at the Marion Smith Designs blog and I have a card to share today.. well, it actually started out as a tag, but since I never can stay inside the "lines" I just converted it into a card.

I've used a bit from different collections on my card. Mainly I've used the "Junque Gypsey" collection, but you can also find some elements from the "Romance Novel 2" collection. :

I actually loved the way this turned out. I fuzzy cut a couple of pieces on this and added a little junque and gem ballon. Super cute! Do you enjoy fuzzy cutting? I love it! 

Thank you so much for joining me here on the blog today! I hope you have a fantastic day! :)

This time the difficulty level is 2.

Here it is:

And here is a quick tutorial:

Step 1: gather your supplies.

Step 2: place your first layer of paper and a washi tape

and use some distress ink on the edges 

after gluing 

Step 3: place the second layer. 

Use Distress Tool on the edges after gluing

Step 4: continue adding layers.

Use Distress Tool on the edges.

Make a hole in the middle of your tag

for some ribbons.

Step 5: Use MSD stamps on the edges 

Step 6: ...and more stamping with MSD clear stamps.

Step 7: Paint your chip board black.
I used some black mist.

Step 8: Continue adding your embellishments.
Use 3d foam for some 3d effect.

Use some strong glue for this job.

Glue Dots are just perfect!
