Birthday Card - Gone Fishing 3D Card

I made this card for my brother in law. I loved making this card, because I got to use pieces of cards that I have been keeping for months. I got the idea from various sites that I had seen over the last few months and I just wanted to put those together for him.







What I did:

1. I used some kraft card to cut 2 pieces the same size.
2. I scored 1/2" and then 3/4" on either side.
3. On the back section I put blue card stock on the bottom, then I used blue velum and tore pieces to represent the ocean and did the same with a brown/grey/green speckle paper piece to represent the sand.
4. On the top section I cut a square on the front like a window. I then cut a piece of a wood to represent the fishing rod.
5. Took a piece of fishing line and asked my husband to tie a small fishing hook on to it. I used a glue dot and dimensional to attach it to the card.
6. I used small letter stamps to write the message "Gone Fishing".
7. Then used my oval punch to cut the message out and my new oval scallop punch to matt the piece.
8. Used some dimensionals and attached it to the corner.
   

It look quite good. The reaction was better than I had imagined, so happy with the result.

Happy Birthday Tia

I made this card for Aunt today. I love making these cards because I get to use the left overs that I have of papers that I have used in the past. My stash of little papers grows every day now that I'm committed to making all of the cards I give away.



What I used: I white standard card that I trimmed to measure folded 4" x 5". then I used purple paper that I cut into a rectangle (I think it measured 4" x 3.5") and rounded 2 corners. then I used a pick card (again I think this is 3" x 3"). I used a strip a lovely shiny pink paper that I cut into a 1" strip and cut 3 squares. One of these I matted with the same purple and put in the centre of the pink and for a better effect and used dimensionals on all 3 squares. Then I lined with stitching around the purple paper. I then used the same gel pen and wrote the message on it and cut it with my small oval punch and matted this with shiny pink using the large oval punch, placed a pink button in on the side, put dimensionals on it and attached it to the corner.



Again a card that turned up quite nice. And here is the end result!!!

Stamping Class - August 09

For this class, we did a Xmas Card, using a circle punch to make a 3D Xmas Ball. It looks great.

What I did: used one of the circle designs and stamp it 3 times on white stock, punched them out. Then used a large background stamp with the same ink pad that I used to stamp the circles; placed the circles on it and stamped the back of the circles. Then cut half way up on all 3 and inter twinned them, to cause that 3D effect. Used stick strip to attached the 3rd circle to the embellishment. Then stuck it to a white piece of card stock, which i then matted in green. Cut a piece of designer paper and matted than. Stack it to the side and put a ribbon matching the green around it. Then stick the 3D embellishment. Stamp the message on white stick, cut it with the large oval punch. Then using the scallop oval punch a piece on the same green used, and stick this on the bottom corner of the 3D embellishment.

Then addition, did the same embellishment again, but this time I used Stampin-Up 2-way glue and added glitter to it. It looked fantastic, as you can see by the picture.

Farewell

Two of my kids teachers were leaving this week. And of course I decided that I wanted to make a card for them. I had planned to make the same card for them, but due to a couple of mistakes I ended up with 2 similar cards.

No, it is not a mistake both teachers have the same name.

So what I did: I wanted to stamp the message on the card, but mistake number one, I touched the message on one of the cards and I ended up with part of the messaage in my hand, so instead of combining both, I put the flower embelishment on top of the error. The embelishment starts with stamping and embossing it, then used my new watercolour pencils and water brush for the water colour effect. Then I matted the card with some a beautiful paper that matches the colours of the flowers. Then I cut another piece that I used my punch and attached at the bottom of the card. Then I used ribbon across this where I used the mini oval tag with their names to cover where I joined the ribbon ends.
