Red card with lace doily circle, CSC08

I decided to enter one more card in this week's CASE Study Challenge. This card has red and cream colored cardstock along with Anna Griffin patterened paper. I cut the eyelet lace strip and the paper doily with SCAL and accordian-folded the red circle. The sentiment is from a Heidi Grace Designs stamp set.

Spirelli design cards CSC08

This is a twist on the inspiration card for the Case Study challenge (see link below). I used scalloped circles cut out of cardstock and wrapped in 3 strands of embroidery floss. I love the designs that are made. The more space you skip when you start wrapping, the smaller the circle in the middle will be.

You can use any shape for the Spirelli designs, but I like circles and ovals the best. It does not have to be a scalloped shape either. I have used circles with spokes on them from the Cricut Accent Essentials cartridge as well as the shape from the I-top Brad Maker punch. The more spokes or scallops there are the tighter the design.

Blue Bird Card

I have been making several cards for a project I am working on. This is one of the cards.

I got the card cut file from Wanda's Crafts. The sentiment is a stamped from a Heidi Grace Designs stamp set. The bird was cut from the same cut file as my previos post and stamped with a flourish stamp from Stampin' Up Baroque Motifs.
