Gamer What a game ~ Crafter's Companion Hobbies

Hello bloggers and  a happy Good Friday to you all.  Today I have a card that I think most of you will relate to if you have children around young or old.  This is a card for the gamers.

This card began as a white 8x8 card blank.  First I cut an A4 sheet of green star paper to slightly smaller than 8x8 and then adhered it to the front of the card.  Next using Crafter's Companion 'hobbies' CD-ROM I printed off a topper, sentiment sheet and backing paper.  The topper and sentiments were fussy cut out.  Next using a strip of the backing paper I adhered it down the right hand side of the card.  To this strip I added three sentiments.  At the bottom of the strip I added a sentiment with an image.  The topper and other sentiments were matted onto some of the backing paper.  The topper was adhered to the centre of the card and the sentiments were added to the left hand side of the card.

HOWZAT!! Cricket Perfect Catch ~ Crafter's Companions Hobbies

Hello bloggers its back to work for most of us unless you are lucky enough to get Easter off.  So today I have a cricketers card that could be used for a birthday or Father's Day which will be upon us before we know it.

This card began as a white 8x8 card blank.  First I used an A4 sheet of green ribbed paper and cut it down to slightly smaller than 8x8 and adhered it to the front of the card.  Next using Crafter's Companion 'hobbies' CD-ROM I printed out a topper and sentiment sheet.  Once cut I matted two of the sentiments and the topper onto red mirror board.  These were then adhered to the card.  The final sentiment and cricket ball embellishment were just adhered straight onto the card.

Hole in One ~ Golf Decoupage Father's Day

Hello bloggers well what a lovely day yesterday was the sun was shining so I popped to the allotment for a few hours between work.  The rhubarb has gone completely mad so I will be picking some on Sunday to make a lovely crumble and maybe some vodka too.  Back to today and I have a card for a golfer.  This could easily be used for many occasions such as Father's Day by just adding an additional sentiment.

This card began as a white 8x8 card blank.  First I cut an A4 sheet of holographic mirror board to 8x8 and adhered it to the front of the card.  Using Crafter's Companion 'hobbies' CD-ROM I printed off a backing sheet and a topper and sentiments sheet.  Once printed the backing sheet was cut down to slightly smaller than the card blank and then adhered to the card front.  Next the topper and sentiments were fussy cut out.  The topper is a decoupaged one so this was layered up with doubled sided tape to keep postage costs down.  The topper and sentiments were then matted onto silver holographic mirror board mats.  The completed decoupage topper was adhered into the centre of the card and the sentiments were adhered in the  four corners.

Snookered - Happy Birthday Son

Hello bloggers today we have a birthday card for a snooker/pool mad young man.

This card began as a white hammered 6x6 card blank.  I printed off my background paper from Crafter's Companion 'hobbies' CD, this was printed on to some white pearlised linen paper.  I cut the paper to size and adhered it to the card blank.  Next I printed off a sheet of diamond pyrimage and began the task of cutting it out and mounting it up with foam tape.  The topper was then adhered to the card with double sided tape.  The two sentiments were then created.  The 'happy birthday' sentiment was made using bundled sage distress ink and Polka Doodles 'sensational sentiments' stamp set.  I then die cut this out using Spellbinders 'scallop labels one' die set.  Once die cut I inked the edges with the same ink and adhered it with foam tape to the card.  The second sentiment 'son' was made using Clarity Stamps 'letterbox' stamp set and bundled sage distress ink.  This was die cut using Spellbinders 'scallop labels one' dies.  Once removed from the die the edges were inked with the same ink.  The sentiment was adhered to the card with foam tape.
