Pink Rose Card

Hello and happy Monday! And, happy leap day!

March always signals the end of winter for me and what better way to celebrate the beginning of spring than with beautiful flowers! Today I'm featuring a card that features Deena's French Country Prints - Pink Rose.

Isn't that rose just gorgeous? This downloadable comes with two images -- one on a white background and the other on an aged burlap background. 

The card I'm featuring today uses the aged burlap version.

I printed out two 5x7 images on cardstock and adhered one of them to a chocolate brown card. The dark brown really makes that pink rose pop and I like the way it enhances the french script background, too.

This image is so lovely by itself it doesn't need any enhancement at all. I only added the shabby chic flower to give the card a bit of dimension.

Such an easy project but with such outstanding results!

Be sure to visit the Ewe-N-Me website for more French Country Prints. They're all so gorgeous!

Thanks for stopping by today! See you next month!

Valentine Greetings

This is such a beautiful file that I just had to work with it. Valentine Tea Bag Envelope has a lot of possibilities and my first idea was to make an invitation to a Valentine Tea Party involving my dolls in their sandbox and their forever tea party but I decided to show my sane side instead and went with a card.

 

You get 2 tea envelopes on the page, all you need to do is cut them out and assemble them.

 

I cut mine out using just the front and back panels. Then I laid out my cardstock and go it ready to spray the heart background with my eBrush.

 

 

Of course I used one of the masks/stencils that I designed and made.

 

I added some Glazed Dimensions to the rose bud and the, "V" and "G" in the sentiment to give it a little shine, added a piece of ribbon I found while clearing out a box and 2 hearts from Queen and Co. I ran the pink paper through my eBosser using the Delicate Dots folder, attached it to the front of the card and added my Printable to the embossed scrap.

 

 

 

 

I stamped the inside sentiment and attached the back side of the tea envelope inside the card.

 

We are having a blog hop February 6-8, please come join us and see what everyone has made with their special files. Deena has a great giveaway planned and I will also be offering a giveaway on my blog, 2 of my heart mask/stencils. Please come see what I have made and enter my drawing.

 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look at my card.

French Country Prints: Card Set and Box Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my first post as part of Ewe-N-Me Printables DT. It's nice to be here, sharing ideas that hopefully will help you maximize your printables. Digital products are vital now a days, because they simplify your paper crafts and allow you to customize your creations. And that is the case with today's project.

Using one of Ewe-N-Me's French Country Prints, Pink Rose, I was able to create a card set and a matching box to hold it. After you learn how to print the files, you'll find it's quite easy. So after I show you my project I'll guide you with the basic printing instructions, so you can replicate what I made.

This box is 5"x 6.5"x 2/8" and the one layered cards that it contains are 5 2/8"x 4". The basic materials I used were the images, white cardstock, a paper trimmer (with a score blade) and of course my printer. 

Now, to print the box the first thing you need to do is create a copy of the file right beside it in the same folder, and rotate it twice, clockwise:

Then in order to print the structure of the box, you'll need to select "FrenchRose-2" and "FrenchRose-2b", right click and print. Once the printer's window pops, it's time to customize size and other aspects: Select size 5 x 7", and unmark the "fit picture to frame" button (under the image). I printed my images in letter sized white cardstock.

Now it's time to score, cut and glue the box together. On the image below I marked in red the lines you should score and in green the ones you should cut.

Once you're done, you are left with two flaps on the side, already scored, that you have to fold towards the inside and glue to the front side of the print (which has no flaps as shown above).

To finish the box you need to add a top flap. I used a 3"x 6 1/2" piece of cardstock and attached it to the back of the box from the inside. I embellished the flap with lace, die cut borders and ribbon to give the box a shabby chic feel.

To print the cards, you will need to print the image rotated twice clockwise (upside down). Select size  4" x 6" and again unmark the "fit picture to frame" button. Once printed all you need to do is cut (shown below in green) and score and fold (shown below in red).

I hope you like my project and that you find this tutorial useful. If you have any questions feel free to contact me through a comment right here or at my blog.
