Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off how to create one of the sets of cards I taught at Craft Alive. If you would like a kit, I do have a few spare left over, so please ask me, I've reduced them down to $20 per kit and you do get full instructions for 4 cards, plus all the "ingredients" to create them and extra cardstock 😃 The Turtles Kit is this one (this is made in the same way as the Fancy Fold Wings Card that you can find the video to here: https://youtu.be/UdOBtXuOHno Then the Triangle cards that we're concentrating on today..... I promised in my video to share the measurements with you for these 2 cards, so here goes....... Supplies & links see below Measurements : Card 1: (Long orange card) White Card base 9.9cm x 29.7cm, scored at 9.9cm increments then diagonally as shown Lemon Lime Twist 9cm x 9cm (need 3 of these) cut diagonally Designer Paper 3” x 3” (need 3 of these) cut diagonally Designer paper strips 4” x ½” (need 2 of th...
Anyway this time I figured I'd show how to make a single layer card, I think I used all but one of the masks.
Here is the initial card I had made up before the video I'd used the Regals colour palette for this card: Real Red for the butterfly, Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss for the central flowers, Cherry Cobbler for the single flower, and Shaded Spruce for the leaves, Oh and Crushed Curry on the background
Then this card I made in the video using Brights colours palette, (and a sneaky subtle...)
I've used Flirty Flamingo for the butterfly, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point for the central flowers, Mango Melody for the single flower, with Granny Apple Green for the leaves, then Soft Sea Foam for the background. I personally prefer this one, where I swapped the background and inside butterfly masks over. As you can see there is something extra on there! It's the gorgeous Gilded Leafing 😊
It's pretty simple to create this card (and cheap! - gotta like that!)
Lay down the butterfly outer mask then pop whichever mask you want showing inside it over top, and hold it firmly in place (if any of it is really close to the edge, add a bit of scrap paper under the edge of the mask, so you don't accidentally colour anywhere extra on your card) then daub or brush over top the colour of your choice. When this is covered, remove the top mask and keep the bottom mask still there, then daub from the outside of the mask, allowing the middle to stay light.
The middle flowers use 2 masks on one, start with what I consider to be the one on the bottom of the sheet. It's the more filled in mask, if you do that one first then the more delicate one lines up a lot easier, with the top and bottom flowers (don't try and line it up with the 2 side flowers as it doesn't make sense that way)
The single flower can be done so you do one part then the other and it can either sit directly on top of each other or you can offset it as I've done on this card., then of course add the leaves!
The Gilded Leafing is added by drawing on fine lines of glue - I use the Tombow thin end (Multipurpose Liquid Glue), allow it to dry slightly, then dunk in the gilded leafing, and brush off the excess (I use a sponge for this)
Hi there Creators, Well today I thought we'd check out something from the new catalogue, which will be live in just a few days (7th Jan). I saw the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack in the catalogue and thought they looked lovely, and yes they really are gorgeous! (link prob won't work till 7th) Anyway in the video I show off all the cards in the pack, and mention that I am doing share packs for various things in the new catalogue (Designer Paper, Ephemera Packs, Embellishments, Ribbons and this Memories & More) See more details at the end or send me a message. And here are the cards I made up using the Basic White Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes : This firs one uses one of the larger cards, a couple of stickers, the stamp set "simply said" for the saying and some of the pretty Riverside Irregular Pearls . Then this card is a small one, using the same stamp set "Simply Said" , a sticker and some more of the Riversid...
Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is: I hope this inspires you to create one t...
Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done) So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work? anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol) I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours. The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper ! I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...
