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
Purple, Cobalt Violet and Cherry Blossom Pink 
Gem Violet (Shimmery) 
 
Stampin Up Diamontes

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. 
 
  
Product List Below 
 
Glossy Accents
Stardust Stickles
 
Prismacolor Pencils
Sand - Sienna Brown 945, Golden Rod 1034, Sand 940 and Cream 914
Ocean - Cobalt Turquoise 105, Aquamarine 905, Light Aquamarine 992, Light Green 920 and Grey Green Light 289
Leaves - Sepia 948, Dark Green 908, Kelly Green 1096 and Pale Sage 1089
Skin - Dark Brown 946, Sienna Brown 945, Peach 939, Light Peach 927, Eggshell 140 and White 938
Hair - Burnt Ochre 943, Pumpkin Orange 1032, Mineral Orange 1033, Golden Rod 1034 and Yellow Ochre 942
Blue - Indanthrone Blue 208, Denim Blue 1101, True Blue 903 and Non Photo Blue 919
Len of glass and Shovel( minus the brown and blue) - Cool Grey 70% 1065, Cool Grey 50% 1063, Cool Grey 30% 1061, Cool Grey 20% 1060, Sienna Brown 945 and Non Photo Blue 919
White -Cool Grey 50% 1063, Cool Grey 30% 1061 and Cool Grey 20% 1060
Red - Black Raspberry 1095, Crimson Lake 925 and Permanent Red 122
Yellow - Orange 918, Yellowed Orange 1002 and Canary Yellow 916
 
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.

Moving Along With The Times Challenge Blog | One or More Butterflies

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Darkroom Door. It is a new month and the Challenge for you this month is One or More Butterflies over on the Moving Along With The Times Blog

 


Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 
Feature Panel Size 9.5 x 14cm (3 3/4 x 5 1/2) 
 
I must admit it is nice to have Darkroom Door back again. Yes, it isn't the original owner (who sadly passed away) but it is nice to see another stamp company surviving in these hard times for the craft industry. 
 
This card is fairly simple in design. I have stamped three different stamps and rotated the angle that I stamped them at. This will make it more random and natural. I added the bees to fill in gaps and for fun. They were a nice cute size.

Polkadoodles Craft Whats The Buzz - Bee Buzzy Gnome Digi Stamp | Fun Fold | Prismacolour Pencils

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Polkadoodles Craft called What's the Buzz- Bee Buzzy Gnome.

This fortnights' theme is Birthday Card with a Different Fold.


Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 
Feature Panel Size 6.2 x 9.3cm (2 7/16 x 3 5/8) 
Small Matt 6.8 x 9.8cm ( 2 5/8 x 3 7/8) 
Larger Matt 9.7 x 14.1cm (3 13/16 x 5 9/16) You need 2 of these.
 
This card is super simple. Using a standard card base, cut diagonally from the top left down to the bottom right. You will also do this with one of the larger matt pieces. This will give you an edge once you apply the triangled piece to the flap of the card front. 
 
Take another card base that is folded and you will cut this at 7.3cm or 8 1/4" ( please remember this is based on A4 piece of card. American card bases are different from AUS and I think the UK. Not sure about Europe. AFTER you have applied the second large matt that is not cut into a Triangle (one is a triangle and the other standard Rectangle) you can glue the smaller card onto the "inside" of your base card. Just make sure that it move nicely as you open it. Then decorate it.
