Fantasy Screen Card - Jem's Designs ~ Water Fairy Happy Birthday

Hello bloggers I hope you had a good start to your weekend and have exciting stuff planned.  I have to sort out my sewing machine that didn't want to play the other day and then finish off a sewing machine cover I am making for my mums birthday.  Today's card has been made using a new CD-ROM that I purchased and that arrived in the post yesterday.

This card began as an A4 sheet of white card stock.  First I used Fantasy Screen Cards CD-ROM by Jem's Designs to print off the card template, mat template and the topper sheet onto white card stock.  The main card was then cut out and scored to form the card blank.  Next I cut out the mat templates for the card.  Using some snake skin textured turquoise paper from Crafter's Companion  I drew around the mat templates and then adhered the paper to the front of them.  The mats were then adhered to the front of the card.

 Next I cut out the toppers and then adhered them to the front of the card taking care to get them in the correct order.  The sentiment was stamped onto white card stock using faded jeans distress ink and Kanban 'tickets' stamp set.  Next I die cut it using Spellbinders Die D-lites f'rame two' die set. Whilst still in the die I inked through with the distress ink.  Next I die cut another frame two using the textured snake skin paper I had used for the mat.  I then used foam pads to slightly offset the mat behind the sentiment.  The sentiment was then added to the bottom of the left hand panel of the card.

I've not made a card shaped like this before but quite like it, so you might be seeing a few more as the weeks pass.

Happy Birthday ~ Looney Tunes Road Runner

Hello bloggers I hope you had a good start to the week. Today I have a simple birthday card for you featuring Road Runner.

This card began as a sheet of purple patterned card stock 20x14.5cm that I scored to make a 10cm card blank.  Next using Looney Tunes CD-ROM I printed out a topper sheet for the Road Runner.  I cut out the topper that I wanted and adhered it to the card blank.  Next onto white card stock I stamped the sentiment using Kanban 'tickets' stamp set and dusty concord distress ink.  I then die cut it with Spellbinders 'back to basics tags' die set.  Whilst still in the die I inked through with the same ink pad used above.  I then added the outside of the tag to the bottom of the card with some purple felt brads.  The inside of the tag I inked over a little more and added foam pads to give it some height and dimension.

Sorry bloggers to those of you that viewed the blog early yesterday I left it in draft again seems to be becoming quite a habit of mine.  Must try harder.  Today's card is a fairy card with a happy birthday sentiment.  This could be for any occasion if you changed the sentiment.

First I used white card stock and 'Fairy Gemstones' CD by Linda Ravenscroft, to print out the card base and two layers of decoupage.  The card base was scored in half.  I then used black soot distress ink and Kanban 'ticket' stamp set to stamp a sentiment all around the edge of the card.  The two different layers of decoupage were fussy cut out, which was a bit tricky in places as the design had very thin areas to cut.  Once cut out I layered the layers up with foam pads and adhered them to the card base to complete the card.

Happy Crafting xx Hazel.
