Circle Net card

Good Morning Everyone,

I can't believe it's June and the children have only 14 more days of school. I've had mixed feeling about this.  Hopefully my two boys will help me with Faye so I can have more time creating and do a few tutorials.  I had so much fun making the net cards last time.  So I thought I tried to make the circle net.  The circle net is surprisingly easy to make.

 I made double nets just to see how it would turn out.  I like it, so I decided to add some accents to it.  The butterflies were cut from felt.  One day my daughter wanted me to cut her some butterflies.  She played with them for a few minutes and she was done playing with them.  I don't like to waste any craft items, many of you can relate to that,  so here are two of the butterflies.  The crochet flowers were from my stash that I've made when I went to Florida back in March.

I did not cut the circle off the center of the card.  I just drew a circle on the card front then paper piecing the circle and stitched/sew the string.  I wanted  to do a tutorial when I have more time.

Thank you for stopping by again today.

More net cards - Up dated with a link at the bottom

Hello,

I really love how the second net card came out.  So I wanted to see how the other colors would look.  And here they are.

Tempting Turquoise. 

Riding Hood Red.

Just plain white printing paper with glitter but of course the glitter didn't show up on this one. Card stock is Elegant Eggplant.

I created a pocket under the butterflies and place an insert for writing on all the cards.  The flourish is from clear stamp that I bought from Walmart.

Thank you so much for visiting.  Have a wonderful weekend!

P.S.  I was intrigues by the string art so I went on line and did  a google checked and here is a link to a few free string art patterns that you could try.

Second Net card

Hello,

I finished this card early this afternoon but the weather had been so nice and I decided to work on my yard.  I am happy to say it's ready for some flowers.

Here is my second net card.

I was meant to use two different colors for the net but forgot.  For this net I used the same yarn that I used for the crochets flowers.  I really like this one.  I figure out how to make the net just one layer.  The net looks cleaner than the one from yesterday.  I decorated the front with the mini roses that I made and added a few pearls.  Love it!

Here is the inside.

I had three layers of butterflies for the inside and added dimensional between each butterfly.  After I cut out the butterflies I put them in the embossing folder and ran them through the big shot again.

Here is the side way looks.  The butterflies on the inside of the card pop out through the opening of the net.

Thank you for looking.

Casing Net

Hello,

My second post today.  I just finished this card.  And I didn't want to wait any longer.

I cased this net from here.  Can't compare to her beautiful work. But,  hey, I thought it came out pretty good.  I used sewing thread that's why the net looks loosed and my net is double layers.  The original net is single layer and I think I knew how to make it.   Well, I am off to make another one.

Thanks for looking!
