Polkadoodles Craft Party Time! | Copic Colouring | Circle Card

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Polkadoodles Craft. A new blog post is available on the Digi Choosday Challenge Blog. Your theme is anything goes but the design team get a challenge, which means you get some awesome ideas for different themes. Our theme this week is "Not a Square or Rectangle card"

Card Size 13.2cm diameter (5 1/4") 

Feature Panel Size 8.4cm diameter (3 1/4")

Matt 12.5cm (4 7/8") 

 

Using your circle die and a square card base, cut out your shape. The die will do thru both layers. However you need to make sure you leave some of the fold line, so you need to have the die fall off the edge of the card base so you still have the join. I only have about 3 cm of the fold left.

 

Die Cut another circle to adhere to the front of the card base, this will hide the fold line and make it a full circle again.

 

The other thing you have to do, otherwise your card won't stand up, is to cut a tiny bit off the bottom of the card on the back of the card base. I have cut off about 1/2cm . You need to do this for any design that isn't straight.

 Decorate as you please.

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from 

 

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

 

For this card you need a card base that is top folding. After folding this in half, score one side at 5". You will then score from the top left from the 5" score line down to the bottom right 

 

Apply glue to the on the little panel that you made from the centre fold to the 5" score line. This is the little panel below that is blue and flat. 

 

 For your patterned paper you will need :

1.5cm x 10.1cm (1 of those)

10cm x 12cm (you need 2 of these) 

One of you 10 x 12 pieces you will apply whole to the inside of the card. You can see that below, diagonal stripe pattern. The other piece you need to cut diagonally in half from the top left to the bottom right. 

 

TIP : If you cut the pattern paper to size leaving a border and THEN cut it diagonally you will have a lovely border around both pieces.

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.

 

Product List Below 

 

Paper Rose Beautiful Mandala (retired)

 

Watercolour paints - Gansai Tambi

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.
