Welcome to Makeover Monday!!

Today’s card is a “stepped up” version of yesterday’s Simple Sunday card. I kept the color palette the same, however, I added some designer series paper, some embellishments and a die cut. It is amazing how you can enhance the look of a card by just adding a few elements.

I added some designer series paper and baker’s twine on the inside as well.

Here are the dimensions:
Real Red, 5-1/2 X 8-1/2, score at 4-1/4
Basic White, 5-1/4 X 4
Basic White, 5-1/8 X 3-7/8
Real Red DSP, 3-3/4 X 3-7/8
Real Red, 3-3/8 X 4-5/8
Basic White, 3-1/4 X 4-1/2
Basic White & Basic Black scrap
Basic White, 5-1/8 X 3-7/8
Basic White, 5 X 3-3/4
Real Red DSP, 1/4 X 5

Welcome to Makeover Monday!!

When crafting, I tend to prefer to add different elements and layers. In my opinion, I believe a card or project looks finished with a little bit of detail. What do you think?
For today’s Makeover Monday card, I did just that. I added a little more color, and some rhinestones. The silver sprig is from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper pack. (It is on the Last Chance list). I turned it over and embossed that back side with Silver Embossing Powder.


I stamped, colored and added Baker’s Twine as well as a strip of embossed Basic White on the inside.

Here are the dimensions:
Purple Posy, 11 X 4-1/4, score at 5-1/2
Highland Heather, 4-5/8 X 3-3/8
