Halloween Card - Mummy


Just like the Frankenstein Card, this one was inspired from Angie Kennedy Juda as well. I really enjoyed making this card. From one piece of A4 you get 2 complete cards. I think I may need to make some more because these are much easier to make and I think I may make more of these to give away on Halloween!



What I did:
  1. From an A4 card of SU! Sahara Sands, I cut two strips of 4" and then cut this in half, making 4 cards from this one piece.

  2. I used one of the cards and cut it in half, and then used one of these halves and torn strips sidewards.

  3. I scrunch each strip and using a sponge, I sponged each strip edge with Chocolate ink.
  4. Using a 1/2" circle punch, I punched 2 white circles and using a 1/4" circle punch, punched 2 black circles for the eyes

  5. Using a 1/2" punch, punched a cream circle and cut it in half for the nose.

  6. Using one of the strips with a straight edge I started gluing each strip one of top of each other, until the front is completely covered.

  7. To complete the card, I glued the nose in place; and the eyes I partially put it within strips and glued it in place.

And Voila!

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.
