FUN FOLD FRIDAY – A SHAKER CARD TO SHARE

Today’s type of card is always fun to make. Who doesn’t like a shaker card?

For this card I started by taking a piece of the alcohol ink coloured vellum and added it to the Night of Navy card base.

Then I used one of the Stitiched Rectangle Dies to create the frame for the shaker card. A piece of Window Sheet was adhered to the frame.

I added lengths of Foam Adhesive Strips around the underside edges of the frame.

One of the die cut Basic White pelicans was adhered on the vellum. Then I pooled a small quantity of the gold and white Sequins for Everything in the centre of the card front.

I pulled the tape from the back of the foam strips and was then attached to the front of the card.

To finish the card, I added two more pelicans to the card – one stamped and both die cut. The greeting was stamped on a thin strip of Basic White cardstock.

I cut three seagulls from a piece of Mother of Pearl 12″x 12″ Specialty Paper that had Adhesive Sheet atteched on the back. This made it easy to add them to the Window Sheet.

After two weeks, featuring the Waves of the Ocean Collection, it is time to move on to another collection.

Until we are all together again, happy stamping.

3D THURSDAY – HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE GUSSETED GIFT BAG

For today’s 3D project, I used some of the Waves of the Ocean 12″x 12″ Designer Sereis Paper to make to make two gusseted gift bags.

This bag measures 5″x 5″x 3/4″. I used one of the Basic Borders Dies to achieve the triangular top of the bag.

The birthday greeting is from the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set. It was stamped using Granny Apple Green ink before being cut using one of the Tailor Made Tags Dies.

I cut a second, larger tag to place under the greeting.

I punched a hole in centre top of the bag and threaded some Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Tape through it. Then I threaded the ribbon through the greeting tags and tied a bow.

For the second gift bag I used a different piece of the Designer Series Paper. This bag measures 3-3/4″x 7″x 2″.

The paper, measurements and top edges all differ but the style is the same.

For this bag, I added an extra tag cut from the same DSP and placed it between the two cardstock tags.

These bags can be filled with all manner of goodies.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday and I have a shaker card to share.

Until then, happy stamping.

WELCOME TO ANOTHER WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY

Wow, today’s post is so late. I have two projects to share that I made in response to this week’s Global Design Project design sketch challenge.

For both cards I used the Waves of the Ocean 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper, Lucky You Stamp Set and Sport Event Dies.

This is the first card – the one that I shared for the challenge.

I started with a Basic White card base and overlay. The overlay panel was attached to the base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Calypso Coral panel was then stamped images from the Lucky You Stamp Set using Calypso Coral and Pacific Point inks. Then I stamped the sentiments on to a piece of Basic White cardstock and cut it using one of the Sport Events Dies.

I split the ticket apart and attached the two pieces over the stamped panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up. Then I tied some white twine, from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Dies, around the panel and tied a knot.

The Calypso Coral panel was attached to the card using dimensionals.

I used the long ticket die, from the Sport Event Dies, to cut some of the Waves of the Ocean DSP, to place above and below the stamped panel. Dimensionals were used to lift them up.

The final step was to add some Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels to the front of the card.

The second card is a stepped up version.

For this card, I added stamped images to the white panel layer. I also embossed the Calypso Coral layer before adding it to the card front at an angle.

Then I took a length of white baker’s twine and separated all 5 strands before tying a bow. I attached the bow using a Mini Glue Dot.

I love the sentiments in the Lucky You Stamp Set.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday and I have a super simple gusseted gift bag to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
