Butterfly Tutorial...

Thank you to everyone who emailed me in regard to the butterfly card we created at our Friday Crafty Creations Class.  I was really quite taken, especially with the lovely comments & the many requests for the template.

Along with the template, I've now included instructions on how to create your butterfly.  A big thanks must go out to Naomi who has so kindly shared her mum's template.

The original post may be seen here which gives you all my measurements for the card & supplies used in creating this card.

The Tutorial will remain permanent on my blog under the Page "Free Tutorials"

Accordian or Concertina Butterfly Tutorial

When you have created your butterfly, I would really love to see them.

Happy Creating!

Happy Easter...

Envelope & Inside of Card...

We created an Easter Card today at the Caloundra Community Centre.  Always a relief to hear that the ladies loved it!  Along with the card, we included the Techniques of Scoring & Chalking, plus a little bit of punching & we have a really lovely Easter card!  Will be the first to admit it is not your normal traditional card, but I love the Cabuary's Purple & I built the card around that colour!!!!!

Measurements -
Base Card - Concord Crush - 11 3/4" x 4 1/8" or 29.5cm x 10.5cm - Scored in middle & folded in half
Layer 1 - Whisper White - 5 3/4" x 3 7/8" or 14cm x 10cm
Layer 2 - Melon Mambo - 5 5/8" x 3 3/4" or 13.5cm x 9.5cm
Layer 3 - Whisper White - 3 3/4" x 3" or 9.5cm x 8cm
Layer 4 - Concord Crush - 3" x 2" or 8cm x 5cm
Layer 5 - Whisper White - 2 7/8" x 1 7/8" or 7.5cm x 4.5cm

I layered the piece of Melon Mambo to Whisper White & then to the Base Card using Snail Adhesive.

With the medium piece of Whisper White, I scored at /1/2" intervals diagonally & then diagonally the other using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool - out in the new Mini 1st April.  I then grabed a couple of SU! Sponges, my Stampin' Pastels & randomly chalked the whole area using 3 or 4 colours.  I added a little bit of Daffodil Delight to lift it a little & to bring the colours out.  I didn't really bother to fill all the white spaces, as I have left some here & there to give a little bit more of an effect!

I punched a border along both sides of the chalked piece with my Scallop Trim Border Punch.
I adhered a piece of Ribbon along the middle, tucked ends under, tied a knot & adhered to the Base Card with Snail Adhesive.

I stamped the Bunny image onto the smallest piece of Whisper White using Poppy Parade Ink & adhered to the piece of Concord Crush Cardstock.  This piece was adhered to the top of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I typed the greeting onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock, punched out with my Modern Label Punch.  I punched a 2nd piece in Concord Crush Cardstock & cut in 2.  I adhered this 2nd piece to the Whisper White so that just the ends of the Concord Crush were showing. 4 Pearls, 2 each end were adhered to the greeting.

I adhered 3 Pearls to the top LH corner of the image, 3 small Pearls along the bunny's neck while another was adhered tot the centre of the flower & adhered to her neck.  I punched this small flower using the Flower Punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Set in Melon Mambo Cardstock.

Supplies -

Stamp Set - Chocolate Bunny

Ink - Poppy Parade

Cardstock - Whisper White, Concord Crush, Melon Mambo

Ribbon - 1/2" Stitched-Poly - Concord Crush

Punches - Modern Label, Scallop Trim Border

Accessories - Snail Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals,

I will be posting another card made using the same supplies, etc in a couple of days, except it is a different shape & it was created prior to this one.

Until next time, Enjoy!

An Old Favourite...

It has been some time since I've used one of my favourite stamps - 5th Avenue Floral.  With some stamps, it doesn't seem to matter how you use them you are guaranteed that your card will always come up "roses" - so to speak.

I've never attempted a "Step Card" before & as usual I didn't go by any instructions to make mine, although there are heaps of instructions & tutorials out in blog land for you to follow.  I also made mine to fit our standard envelope in Australia.  As I really enjoyed making this type of card, I don't think it will be my last.

Cut A4 Cardstock - Bashful Blue - 11 3/4" x 4 1/4" or 29.5cm x 15cm

Back section of card for your greeting or note...

Score & fold from bottom along the longer side at 1", 2", 4", 6" & 10 1/4" or 2.5cm, 5cm, 10cm, 15cm & 26cm

Cut Bashful Blue Cardstock 5 7/8" x 4 1/4" or 15cm x 10.5cm
Adhere to back section of card - will give you a section for your card to fold out & stand
Cut 2 pieces of Wild Wasabi Cardstock - 5 3/4" x 4" or 14.5cm x 10cm & adhere 1 piece to the above section of card
Cut 2 pieces of Whisper White Cardstock 5 5/8" x 3 7/8" x 14cm x 9.5cm - stamp image onto 1 piece of card & adhere to Wild Wasabi
This section is the part you are able to write your greeting onto ie the inside of a normal card

Back Section -
I randomly stamped my images onto the 2nd piece of Whisper White Cardstock using Wild Wasabi, Bashful Blue & Crumb Cake Inks.  After dying my Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon with Crumb Cake Re-Inker & allowing to dry, I adhered this across the top half of the Whisper White Cardstock, adhered to Wild Wasabi & then to the Base Card.  I tied a bow & adhered this to the card too.

Middle Section -
I stamped the wording using Crumb Cake Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock, cut it out & adhered to Wild Wasabi, which was then adhered to the middle section.  I allowed a little bit of the wording sit above the fold, instead of flat against the card.  I made 2 flowers using retired Felt Flowers, small white flower which I dyed using Bashful Blue Re-Inker & a Silver Brad.  These were attached to the centre section of the card.

Front Section -
I cut a small piece of Wild Wasabi Cardstock & adhered to the Bashful Blue.  Using the Scallop Oval Punch & Crumb Cake Cardstock, I punched a piece of Whisper White which I had stamped the sentiment using Wild Wasabi Ink, & adhered to the Scallop punched piece.  I used the Large Oval Punch for the Whisper White.  I again dyed 3 small white flowers using the Bashful Blue Re-Inker, applied a silver brad in each & adhered to the card.

I've used a couple of retired products making this card, but they are able to be substituted for current products.  The flowers come from a big box of misc flowers - pre-SU - I have & dye from time to time so that I am able to use them up.

Supplies -
Stamp Set - 5th Avenue Floral, Oval All
Inks - Bashful Blue, Wild Wasabi, Crumb Cake
Re-Inkers - Bashful Blue, Crumb Cake
Cardstock - Whisper White, Wild Wasabi, Bashful Blue
Punches - Scallop Oval, Large Oval
Ribbon - 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon - Whisper White
Accessories - Multipurpose Glue, Silver Brads, Felt Flowers - Old Olive
Non-SU - Small White Flowers

Until next time, Enjoy!

Accordion Card...

The person I have made this for doesn't like bling, busy, but just simple & plain, so this is what I come up with.

These cards have been around for sometime, but as usual I didn't chase any instructions to make mine.  Instead, I did mine to suit the Aust standard envelopes.  To ensure it still fitted into the envelope, I didn't want to put too much onto the card & bulk it up.

It is my first time at making an "Accordion Card", so hopefully you will be able to understand my instructions.  I've discovered they are very easy to make & a lot of fun embellishing.

Front -

I adhered Real Red Cardstock to the Base Card, applied DSP to the bottom, stamped the image directly onto Very Vanilla Cardstock using my SU Markers.  I then adhered this piece to Daffodil Delight Cardstock before adhering to the base.

Inside 1 -

Left Hand Side - I adhered DSP to Pear Pizzazz Cardstock & stuck this to the base card.  I then stamped the greeting using Real Red Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstok, adhered it to Chocolate Chip Cardstock & then to the DSP.

Right Hand Side - Prior to adhering the 2 base cards together, I cut an oval out of the Chocolate Chip Cardstock, stamped the image onto Very Vanilla Cardstock using my SU Markers.  I cut a smaller oval of Real Red Cardstock & adhered it to the back of the Chocolate Chip.  I then adhered the Very Vanilla Cardstock to the back of the Real Red Cardstock.  The whole lot was then adhered to the smaller card to form the accordion.  I applied a Basic Pearl to the centre of the flower.  When adhering, ensure that you have your Valley, Fold, Valley.

I punched 4 corners using my Corner Punch - 2 in DSP & 2 in Very Vanilla Cardstock.  These were adhered to the card as per photo.

Inside 2 -

Left Hand Side - I cut a piece of DSP & adhered it to the base card.  Very easy as I didn't want anything else on this.  I will type & print a verse out to adhere here prior to posting.

Right Hand Side - I punched 2 corners using the Corner Punch - 1 in DSP & 1 in Chocolate Chip Cardstock.  These were adhered to Very Vanilla Cardstock which had been adhered to the Chocolate Chip base.  I punched a strip of Real Red with Border Punch and a strip of DSP using the same punch.  These were adhered to the bottom of the Very Vanilla Cardstock.  I stamped the 3 flower images directly onto the Very Vanilla Cardstock using Real Red Ink.  I applied 3 Basic Peals to the centre of the flowers.

Once folded, I adhered a piece of ribbon to the front, ensuring it wrapped around the whole card & tied a bow at the front.

Supplies -

Stamp Set - Friends Never Fade, Blessed Mother

Ink - Real Red

Cardstock - Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla

Punches - Corner Punch, Eyelet Border

Ribbon - 1/2" Stitched-Poly - Pear Pizzazz

Accessories - SU Markers, Basic Pearls, Multipurpose Glue, Snail Adhesive

Instructions -

Card 1 - Chocolate Chip Cardstock - 3" x 4 1/8" or 9cm x 15cm - Score in middle & fold

Card 2 - Chocolate Chip Cardstock - 10.5" x 4 1/8" or 27cm x 15cm - Score @ 3 1/2" x twice or 9cm twice

Adhere Card 1 to Card 2 ensuring that you have a Valley, Fold, Valley

Embellish card to complete

Until next time, Enjoy!

Masking Tutorial...

I've finally managed to write the Tutorial for Masking.

1. Stamp image onto card stock
2. Stamp the same image onto a scrap piece of paper & cut out, careful to cut just inside the lines - this will be your mask
3. Place the mask on top of your image on your card
4. Stamp a different image over a portion of the mask - this creates layered images
5. Remove mask
6. Embellish card

Tip -

If you do not have a Post-It Note to stamp your image onto, use snail glue to create a temporary adhesive to the back of mask and then stick this to a towel once or twice.  It will remove the sticky adhesive, but at the same time, leave enough adheseive so that you are able to place your mask on your card.

I sometimes store this mask in with the stamp set so that it is ready to be used again


 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or not sure of anything

 

Until next time, Enjoy! 

 

Clipboard...

For something a little different, I thought I would post a Clipboard I did the other day.  This board now sits by my phone & comes very handy for those messages & dates.

I had all intensions of using it as a clipboard, but once I had printed the calendars & found spare Post-It Notes, that idea went out the window.

Adhere both pieces to Clipboard

Punches - Scallop Edge, Scallop Circle, 1 1/4" Circle

Accessories - Snail Adhesive, Ribbon, Pencil & Rubber, Uni-Ball Gel Pen

 I saw this in a magazine a long time ago & it has always been at the back of my mind.  I have never seen one on the internet or if there is, I have not come across one before.  I've made a simple tutorial if you are interested in trying one.

Tutorial for Baby Dress -
Instructions –

Dress -
1. Cut Whisper White Cardstock – 4” x 6 “
2. Score card in half
3. Measure halfway along fold
4. Using 1 ¼” Circle Punch, punch small ½ circle for neck
5. Measure down 1 ½” from top of card
6. Measure in ½” from edge, cut – sleeves
7. Repeat Steps 6 & 7 for other side
8. Using a pencil, rule a line starting from where the cut finishes to the bottom of outside of card
There should now be a small slant running down the length of the card
9. Using scissors, cut from bottom to the top – where the cut for the sleeve finishes
10. Repeat Steps 8 & 9 for other side
11. Will now start to look like the shape of a dress
12. Erase pencil lines

Overlay –
1. Cut DSP 4” x 6”
2. Starting from underneath the sleeves, match up against Cardstock, rule shape & cut -
3. Top will be small than bottom
4. Using Scallop Edge, punch hemline – Hem should be about ½” shorter than Card

6. Attach matching Ribbon & tie bow

TIP –
To give a different look –
 Attach a flower, Brads or Buttons instead of bow
 Place a small row of Rhinestones along the top, running from sleeve to sleeve
 Add another layer – opposite side of DSP or something entirely different - Translucent

The List is endless, but I kept mine very clean and simple on purpose!

If you would like to play along all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C18.  Don't forget to go to http://www.crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/ to upload your card, so as everyone else can see it too.
