Welcome...

It has been awhile since my last post but I've finally sat myself down & made a "Suspension Card".  I've seen these around for sometime now, and always thought they looked too hard, but how wrong I've been all this time.  Again, no instructions, just took it from a couple of samples in a book & put them altogether.

 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
5. Apply adhesive on DSP & adhere to Card in line with the sleeves
6. Attach matching Ribbon & tie bow
7. Cut small pocket from DSP
8. Apply Faux Sewing along edge of pocket using Uni-Ball Gel Pen
9. Adhere to dress

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.

Until next time, have a great night

Morning World!

I have had to do a mixture of baby tags, so have started off with a couple of very simple tags, using "Forest Friends"

I've made sure that the tags are big enough to write a small message on the inside.  Sometimes, you purchase a small gift tag & there is never enough room to write a message on the inside.

Supplies -

Stamp Set - Forest Friends

Cardstock - Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Pretty-in-Pink

Ink - Bashful Blue, Pretty-in-Pink

Accessories - Gel Pen, Snail Adhesive, Crop-a-Dile

Punches - Oval, Scallop Oval

Remember - This stamp set is from the current Spring Mini-Catalogue & finishes at the end of November.  The stamps will not be repeated!

Enjoy
