Artisan Showcase for April - Dandy Garden

 Welcome back to another fantastic showcase with the Artisan Team. This month I'm sharing some fun cards that I created using the Garden wishes bundle and the coordinating Dandy Garden Memories and More cards.

Now these cards are usually associated with memory keeping but as I'm actually a virtual scrapper, I decided to share a few ideas on how these can be used for cardmakers too.

 

This first card was actually made with the premade cards and envelopes pack. I cut the card front off the card base and used it as my focal point and added vellum just to mute the brightness of it. I even cut a strip of the front of the envelope liner to add as a decorative strip on my card. Using the Dandy Wishes die to add the pops of black in the shape of Dandelions.

My second card is using the Tailored Tag punch and I just punched a couple of piece from each of the cards I could find in the memories and more pack. I pieced them all together like a jigsaw and then added a sentiment that I had cut out of one of the cards. Super quick and easy card to make.

And lastly created this card using the few bits and pieces I had left over on my desk. I decided to use the stickers from the pack for my sentiment but I wanted to give them a little it of height. So I have this old trick, where I use my embossing buddy to add powder to the back of the sticker so it loses it's stick and then I can added foam mount to give it the height I wanted!

I really hope you've enjoyed the cards today and it will get you to think aout how you can use the Memory and More card kits in your cardmaking!

Happy Crafting,
