Card Making Frenzy 21

Here's card number 21 of my card making frenzy made from one of my card kits with a pre-made focal.  The paper is once again one that came with my card making magazine and goes really well with the pink card from a DCWV pastel card box. To mat the focal I cut a piece of pink mulberry paper using a die from Spellbinders Holly Motifs and glued it to a white piece of paper that I fussy cut after tracing the outside edge of the die.

The focal itself was made the same as the others with glossy card stock and alcohol inks. It was stamped with VersaMark using JustRite stamps from For All You Do and Celebration Labels One sets and then heat embossed with black powder. It was cut with a die from their Vintage Labels Three die set.

This card is another made with one of my card kits and pre-made focals.  I made borders with the striped paper layering it with white card stock cut with a Spellbinders Edgeability die and a green ribbon.  I cut and embossed a couple of tags from green paper using a Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two die and combined these as a mat for the focal.

This focal was made like all my other pre-made focals with glossy card stock and alcohol inks.  This time I used black embossing powder with JustRite stamps from the Enjoy the Day stamp set.

Here's another card made from one of my card kits and pre-made focals.  I'm not sure where I got the patterned paper for this one but the quilt pattern looks really nice with a yellow card from a DCWV pastel card set. I inked the edges of the paper and added a black ribbon before gluing the background paper to the card.

This focal, made the same as the others with glossy white card stock and alcohol inks, then stamped with VersaMark and fine black powder using JustRite stamps from the sets Celebrations Labels One and Your Special Day Medallion Labels.  It was cut with a die from their matching Medallion Labels die set.  To finish off the card, I added a black bow near the top of the focal.

Back to my card making frenzy using my pre-made card making kits with pre-made focals, we have this card using a pretty paper from HOTP Rosemary and Thyme 6x6 paper pack. I cut and embossed a piece of this paper using a die from Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Rectangles set.  Using the die I drew around the outside of it onto white paper and fussy cut it to create a mat for the patterned paper. Using a white gel pen I drew a frame around the rectangular embossed edges. Before gluing everything down, I cut and embossed a piece of white from the center of the mat using one of Spellbinders Gold Labels Four.

The focal was created using fine white embossing powder and JustRite's stamps from two sets - Your Special Day and For All You Do.  It was cut with a die from their Vintage Labels Three set.
