Best Birthday Ever

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a card I created using my We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill in conjunction with my Scan N Cut. I received the Foil Quill for Mother's Day earlier this year and as I had only made one card, I figured it was time to play! I recently purchased some single line fonts which would work with my Scan N Cut so of course I wanted to try them out. It took me a few goes playing with the different sized tips and finally got the look I needed, while I am getting used to this tool it is a matter of trail and error until I get it right.

The background is also created using the foil quill, I found the design over on the Facebook group WRMK Foil Quill for Everyone. If you have a Foil Quill I recommend you join this group.

To decorate my card I added flowers using Altenew's Strength Blooms Clear Stamp set.

For the inside of the card I added another sentiment from the Foil Quill Mix and Match Sentiments Bundle which is the same place I got the sentiment on the front. The fun things about this set, is that you can build your own sentiment using the various words/designs included in the set. 

I also added another flower to the top of the sentiment.

Hi Everyone,

My card today is for a challenge I do with a couple of friends of mine. Each month we get together and go to our favorite paper crafts store and come home with one or two new goodies. So we decided to also challenge ourselves each month using a product we all have.

My daughter had sent me this fun Tattered Lace Diamond Fold Card die from London last month and when my friends and I went shopping last month we discovered this same die at the shop we go to and of course they both had to have it :).

I had previously used this die early in March to create a card which you can see here. This time around I wanted to do something different and I had seen an idea on the Tattered Lace web site about using this die to create a Double Diamond Fold Card which is what I decided to do my my card today. The die actually only cuts the middle portion of the card so you can have the sides whatever size you want. To cut a double I just placed the die into the top cut in the card and ran it through my die cutting machine a second time.

To decorate my card I used some stamps from MFT Stamps which I cut using my Scan N Cut.

Here is my card when it is closed ready to be placed in an envelope.
