Paper Rose Little Koala Adventures Collection | Side Step Down Fun Fold Card

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose Studio

 

Card Size 10.8 x 14cm (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) 

Now, to score this you need a photo of the template I made, it isn't too hard just hard to explain without it.

Cardstock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 

 So... With the 5 1/2" side at the top use a ruler to mark 3" move the ruler down a few inches and mark 3" again, this doesn't have to be at the top and bottom.

Turn the card so you have the 8 1/2" along the top. Line the ruler up on the dots you just made and mark 1" and again at 6 1/2. Draw a line from the 1" to the 6 1/2" along the 3" line. Use a craft knife ( can't think what you America Peeps call it...Utility knife...?) and make a slit along the drawn line.

One side of the line will be 3" and the other is 2 1/2". On the 3" side score at 4 1/4 JUST to the line.

On the 2 1/2" side score JUST to the line at 1", 2", 3 1/4, 4 1/2 and 6 1/2. Again just to the line. 

The 4 1/4" side is a mountain fold ( goes up). The 1" score line is a mountain, next valley, mountain, valley and mountain. Check out the video if you need help.

 

 

 I did place another floral element under the Koala in a branch. You can't see it when looking at the card from the front but can, clearly, when moving it around and it was annoying me :D.

Score the white cardstock (that is 10" x 4") as valley, mountain and valley folds. (Valleys go down and mountains go up or you can check out the video for help. 

 

Before you apply the white cardstock decorate the inside of the card base. 

 

To apply fold up the cardstock and apply glue to one side and position it where you want. I found it easier to first hold it in place to see where you would like to place it. It doesn't have to be perfect.

 

Decorate with the designer pattern to your choosing. On one panel I cut a small rectangle of white cardstock with a matt of vellum. This is the panel I plan to write on.

Polkadoodles Crafts Surprise! Winnie Celebrations | Adding dimension to pre coloured Images

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Polkadoodles Crafts. The challenge theme this week Landscape Cards. I choose to use an image from the Winnie Celebration collection called "Surprise!"

 

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) 

 

If  you were new to colouring or not interested in colour (me...a colourist says HOW? ;D lol) a pre-coloured image is perfect! Polkadoodles Crafts has pre coloured and black and white images. The pre-coloured images can sometimes be rather flatly coloured, NOT Polkadoodles so much dimension in their images that you don't have to do anything! However, you can, if you want, add more detail. Which makes them perfect for beginner colourist! You can start as simple as using cool greys or warm greys ( cool for colours like blue and purple and green, warm for reds, yellows and oranges) or take it further to matching the colours. I tend to use browns deepen reds or give extra detail to hair.

 

 Added details like white gel pen on polka dots add even more and take it to the next level.

Using pencils mean you can add very fine details, like deepening a cats markings or the lines on a party hat or even adding "fur"

 

I added the fur using a medium coloured brown trying to match it with the dogs fur and lightly doting the area. By doing quickly it gives you tiny dash lines and I found it didn't always mark the image so not too dark. You don't want the dashes to be very long. It won't look right.

 I have die cut the flowers a few times and even more of the leaves.

 

The birds I have die cut 2 times and one I have turn over so I have one going left and other on the right. I used my bone folder to smooth out the edges. This worked really well and you can still see the etched lines on both.

 

The flowers are pretty easy and I think you could easily mix and match the petals to form slightly different flowers.

 

I decided against adding an sentiment, I didn't think it needed it. If anything I would add it on the inside.

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.

Paper Rose Studio Rainbow Village Fun Fold | Book Binder Card

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.
