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.

Paper Rose Boho Baby Collection | Doubledecker 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") 

I really enjoy fun fold card and this one is quite simple. You can use a straight forward A6 (Aus) card base, folded in half and then the front is folded in half again. I will give you all the measurements for the card. 

Card Base 14.8 x 21 scored on the 21cm side at 5.2 and 10.5. Easier to just half the base in half and one panel in half again.

Designer pattern (DP)

Inside Panel 10 x 14.4cm (4 x 5 11/16")

2 strips 4.7 x 14.4cm (1 7/8 x 5 11/16")

 

Front 

DP 7.2 x 10.2cm (3 x 4") 

White Cardstock CS 7 x 9.6cm (2 3/4 x 3 3/4")

 

Inside Popped Up Panel

Green CS 7.4 x 11.2cm (2 7/8 x 4 3/8")

DP 7 x 10.9cm (2 3/4 x 4 1/4")

White CS 5.5 x 8cm (2 3/16 x 3 1/8")

 

Pop UP mechanism 

5.8 x 7.7cm (2 1/4 x 3")

Along the 7.7 cm side score at 2cm, 3.8 and 5.7, but I find it easier to do scoring on a score board which most are in inches so, score at 3/4, 1 1/2 and 2 1/4"

 

This needs to be folded to form a cube. Fold this flat with the 2 cut edges touching each other (if you turn it over you will have a single folded line). Apply glue on the panels either side of the cut edges.

Turn it over and place it either side of the score line between the middle panel and back panel. The Score line should line up with the score line on the card base. Now if you slightly close the card this will make a platform.

 

The inside popped up panel with be glued on the top of the platform, making it pop up! :)

 

Fold the card up and apply glue to the very left side of the remaining panel. With the card closed you can position the panel centered using the inside panel. You can, of course, swap these panels and the smaller one will be hidden behind the larger one in front. 

 

Decorate as you wish with the coordinating diecuts.

Paper Rose Flower Shoppe Collection| Triple Easel Display 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) 

 

You will need an unscored top folding card base 29.5 x 10.5cm or 4 1/4 x 11". Scored this at 1" and 6 1/2" or if you want centimeters 2.5 and 16.2cm. In the end you will have a top folding card.

 

Cardstock (CS)

2.5cm x 10.5 (1" x 4 1/4") this is your easel stopper 

4.5 x 13 (1 3/4 x 5 1/4") this is the stand 

 

Designer Paper (DP)

10 x 13cm you will need 3 of these

2.2 x 10cm Stopper 

4 x 12.7cm Stand, you will need 2 of these. One for the flap on the base card and one for the stopper.

 

Apply the DP on the stopper and with foam glue this onto the bottom of the card base, approximately 2cms from the bottom of the card. See photo below. You need to use low profile foam otherwise it gets too thick when closed. 

 

Once the DP is applied to the stand you add 2 foam dots to the very top of the strip of cardstock. You want to position the bottom along the bottom of the card, when closed, and make sure the panel is roughly even to the top and right side of the flap. See photo above. 

 

 

I have used the Vintage Label 1 die and applied glue just to the far right side, as to fix this to the stand.

Decorate as you wish.
