Little Neighbour Birthday Card

 

I nearly missed a birthday. I needed to make a quick card for the little lady. 

I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with pink card and then white embossed card.

I have used a page from a Hunkydory book. I mounted it onto pink card before attaching it to my card. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Spellbinders die from a nesting set. I mounted the sentiment onto a pink scalloped circle before attaching it to my card.

Exam Congratulations

 

I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with kraft card and white card.

I have used a Tonic die set to cut all the stars and corner elements. I cut the elements in kraft and pink mirror card.  I used foam pads to add the elements and completed the card with a Crafters Companion sentiment.

Wedding card

 

I have matt and layered the top and base of my 8x8in easel card with pink card and then embossed white card. I used a Tattered Lace embossing folder. I die cut the panels using a Sue Wilson die set. I cut three of the panels and added them onto white card. I added satin ribbon where the panels meet. I attached this element to my card using foam pads. I made the large flowers using die cuts cut with a Crafters Companion die. I also cut the flourish elements and leaves using a die from the same set. I die cut the ovals using dies from a Presscut nesting set then I added the sentiment that I cut with a Crafters Companion die. I attached the ovals to my card using foam pads and then added the floral elements with hot glue. I printed a sentiment for the base of the card and die cut it with a Tonic rectangular die and added it to a larger rectangle before attaching it to the base of my card using foam pads so it will act as the stopper for my easel. I completed my card with Tonic Nuvo drops. I made a white box using my scoreboard and added pink panels to all sides. I die cut the heart to add to the top of my box.

Poinsettia Christmas Card

I have used a set of Tattered Lace dies to cut the "book" layers in white and red card. On the front I have used the die to cut a page from a Hunkydory liitle book. I curled all the layers around my rolling pin. 

I have made an A4 easel card and matt and layered the top and the bottom with red and then white embossed card. I added the book to the front using red liner tape in the centre and foam pads down the sides and then added the bookmark.  I die cut the sentiment with a Sue Wilson die and attached it to the die cut shapes which I cut with Spellbinders dies before attaching it to my card. I die cut the flourishes with a Cheery Lynn die and the poinsettia with Tattered Lace dies. I completed my card with satin ribbon and tonic nuvo drops. 

I made the box using a scoreboard. I attached red satin ribbon around the outside of the lid and added a bow.  I added the scalloped circles to the box lid, these were cut with Xcut dies from a nesting set. I die cut the sentiment with a Sue Wilson die. I completed the box with a poinsettia and tonic nuvo drops.

Quick Baby Card

 

I have been asked to make a quick baby card. I wasn't given any information for the new arrival so this is what I made.

This is an A4 card  which has been matt and layered with lilac and white card. I added lace and satin ribbon down the card along with a bow. I die cut the scalloped ovals with Go Kreate dies from a nesting set. I added the sentiment to the ovals that I cut with a Tonic die. The vest and bib have been cut with Sue Wilson dies. I completed my card with Tonic Nuvo drops on the oval and also on the vest where "poppers" would be.

Advent Calendar

 

This is my DT project for the challenge at craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper

I have started making advent calendars for my nieces. I have so much spare time at the moment I wanted to make something other than a card.

I have used a Crafters Companion double sided die to cut the small triangles. I covered the front of the boxes with patterned paper. I punched a hole in the top of the box and added a loop of ribbon through the hole. I added hot glue on the knot inside the box to secure the ribbon. The small numbers have been cut with Crafters Companion dies. I assembled the boxes together with high tack tape and glue. I attached white card and satin ribbon on the sides of the assembled boxes and then attached it to two sheets of 300gsm card and cut around it. I attached a 12x12in sheet of patterned paper to 300gsm card before attaching my calendar to it. I will personalise the creation in due course. 

There is a video on You Tube by a Crafters Companion member to help with this project.

Mum Pop Up Box

 

I have made this box with a 30x15cm piece of white card.

I scored the card at 7cm, 14cm and 28cm

I scored the width of the card at 7cm

I used the 2xm at the end of the card as a glue tab. On the top of the box I cut the 2cm of card away.

I cut strips of card at 9cm long and scored them at 1cm on each side and used these as glue tabs. I attached them to the inside of the box. I covered the panels with spotty paper.  I added the detail to acetate to attach them to the strips.

Flower Shop

This is my creation for the challenges over at craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper

After seeing recent projects made with a new die set I decided to give it a go with dies I already have and my scoreboard

I have made a rectangular box using my scoreboard. I scored the three sides to make a "counter" and left the back straight. I added the gingham card to the back. The pink die cut shape will include a sentiment along with the sign. I cut the trellis using a Cheery Lynn die and added it to the front and side of the box. I cut the wheelbarrow and watering can using Lea'bilities dies. I added the fence and grass along the front and sides of the box and then added small flowers. I die cut a border and added it to the edge of the "counter" I added the die cut fork and spade and made a bunch of flowers with a circle scored and folded and used pieces of the grass to be stems and finally added flowers. This card will fold flat to fit into an envelope.

Gift for Nanna

I painted a paper mache letter N with white paint. I attached card around the edges of the letter leaving the card 1/2in taller than the letter. I quilled flowers, leaves and swirls to add to the the letter against the card on the edges. I attached these using P.V.A and then added lace and ribbon around the outside of the letter. I printed the other letters and then die cut them using a die from a nesting set from The Works. I die cut the butterflies in white and pink card. I printed the grand children's names and die cut them with a Presscut oval die and added them to the small butterflies. I added Tonic Nuvo drops to the butterflies. 

I have used a box frame from The Range. I used white card and then pink card for my background and then attached all the elements with hot glue.

Girls Birthday Card

I was asked to make a quick card today. So I picked a Hunkydory Little Book page and made this card. I matt and layered my 8x8in white card with red and then black card. I added red and white dotty card to the top half of my card blank. I added satin ribbon across my card before attaching the image that I mounted onto black card first. I die cut the sentiment using a Tonic die and attached it to oval that I die cut with a Presscut die from a nesting set. Finally I added the oval to my card.

Springtime Card

 

This is my creation for the challenges at craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper.

I have made an A4 card. I matt and layered the card with yellow and then blue gingham card.  I die cut the sentiment with a Xcut scalloped circle from a nesting set and then added it to a yellow scalloped circle before attaching it to my card. I added lace and ribbon down my card and then added a topper.  I completed my card with die cut daffodils.
