Paper Rose Petals & Pansies Collection | Triple Layered Bridge Card | Fun Fold

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose Studio 

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

 

Another super simple card and I am using the beautiful Petals & Pansies Collection

 

On the front of a top folding Australian Card base ( half of an A4 sheet) make a mark on the front panel at 2.5cm and again at 8cm or 1" and 3 1/8". You need to mark this on the fold line and the bottom edge. Use a ruler and cut from the fold line to the bottom on the front panel only. 

 

For the front papers, do what I say as I stuffed up a little in the video and I was lucky that the whole pattern still mostly looks the same and matches.

 

You need a sheet of your desired paper and cut it at 9.3 x 14.4 

 

On the 9.3cm side, using a pencil and mark at 2.1cm and 7.2cm. Using a guillotine cut this apart. This will give you a beautiful continued design.

 

The trick with this card is to use die cuts that can be put together or are wide enough to extend from the 2 panels on the far left and right side of the card. My chair does but I still added the little flowers so my chair would be off set slightly.

 

Decorate as you wish.

Moving Along With The Times Challenge Blog | Use Your Favourite

Hi All, 

It is a new month and that means there is a new challenge over on the Moving Along With The Times Blog and today's card is using products from Paper Rose.

The theme is "Use Your Favourite" which I actually found it hard to pick my favourite. However, I do really love the Beautiful Mandala from Paper Rose, now retired unfortunately.

My all time Favourite would have to be the "Wizard" from Stampinbella. I have coloured him once and honestly I loved how he came out I never coloured him again! I suppose silly really. You know I can never bring myself to give the card away! 

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 9.7 x 14.1cm (3 9/16 x 5 5/16) 

 

I started with gold Embossing the Mandala stamp. I roughly applied watercolor over the stamp allowing it to dry in between applications and definitely after applying the shimmer paint. 

 

Picking out areas inside and around the outside, this allows the image to pop along with Gel Pen to bring the image out from the background.

Pixi Dust Designs Fancy Butterflies | Embossing with Dies

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Pixi Dust Designs

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 9.7 x 14.1cm (3 9/16 x 5 5/16)

 

 The bodies were triple embossed. Once with the colour ink (use a dabbing motion) and clear embossing next a quick coat with clear again on the body and then quickly dip the body in gold. If you are quick you can just stick the second embossing powder over the hot first coat. If you pull it out of the powder and find none on the body, give it a brush off just in case and apply the versamark in a dabbing motion. 

Once you have 2 coats it is usually easy to apply the gold. But you need to be quick.

 

This is the end result

 

 You can see it gives a cool, I think, effect using the brown on the base.

Polkadoodles Craft By The Sea | Winnie Starfish | Easel Card | Prismacolor Pencils

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Polkadoodles Craft. We have a new theme on the Digi Choosday Challenge. This week it is to make an Easel card. I had some ideas on all the different Easel cards you can make but I decided a scene was what I wanted to do so a more traditional easel card fitted it better. 

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 9.7 x 14.1cm (3 9/16 x 5 5/16) 

Matt 10 x 14.4cm (3 7/8 x 5 9/16) 

 

I teamed the Winnie Starfish/ Sandcastle- Building Sandcastles with the Beach Scene. I originally thought to include the Surfboard digi but I felt it didn't need it. I really enjoyed colouring the sand and water, it isn't something I do a lot.

Stampin Up Real Red Cardstock  

 

To make my easel I took a top folding card and scored the front at 7.3 cm or 2 7/8" Then using another card front I mounted the red matt and my image. I applied glue to the back bottom half and added it to the bottom quadrant of the base card, making sure you don't glue past the score line.

 

 I applied a little bit of glossy accents and stardust stickles on random parts of the ocean and glossy accents to the sunglasses.

 

That is all from me today. Thank you for your time.
