THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT’S TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

The momwnt I saw the pull cart image in the Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper and thedies in the Filled with Fun Dies, I knew that I wanted to make a 3D pull cart.

When I made this (26 March) we still had Easter ahead of us.

I started by creating a small rectangular cart base. Then I was able to attach the Poppy Parade cart sides and the Basic White timber textured side panels.

The wheels were made using Basic Black card and Poppy Parade inner circles. I added Adhesive Sheet to the Poppy Parade card to make it so easy to fill in the centre of the tyres.

I cut two of the pulling mechanisms in Basic Black and adhered them together. After leaving the lower ends of the mechanism, I was able to fold them open and adhere them to the catd.

The greeting, from the Excellent Eggs Stamp Set, was stamped onto a small piece of Basic White scrap. I adhered this piece just inside the cart.

The bunny was stamped and coloured using Smoky Slate and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends. It was die cut and then adhered to the greeting panel.

Tomorrow I have a Fancy Fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

WELL, WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY

Woohoo, it’s Wednesday and another opportunity to share something new.

Today’s card is ‘amazing’.

I was so pleased to see the wonderful panels on two of the Designer Series Paper sheets. I used this playground panel for the background on my Poppy Parade cardbase

After looking at all the images on the Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper, I chose the three children in the pull cart for this card.

I was able to cut it using one of the Kiddin’ Around Dies.

I also used the Filled with Fun Dies to cut a Poppy Parade cart, Basic White timber side, pull handle in Basic Black and wheels in Basic Black and Poppy Parade.

After I layered all these elements and adhered them together, I had created an amazing pull cart with happy children inside.

The completed pull cart was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting, from the Kiddin’ Around Stamp Set, was stamped in Poppy Parade before being trimmed down and added to the front of the card.

I stamped the cluster of stars, from the stamp set, on the card insert and envelope.

Tomorrow I have a small 3D Easter project to share with you – albeit a week late for Easter.Until then, happy stamping.

TODAY IS TUESDAY & IT’S TIME FOR SOME TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Today I want to share a slimline card with fussy cutting as my techniques card.

A slimline card is one that is longer and slimmer than a standard card. My slimline cards are 8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ (8 1/2″ x 7″ folded in half).

The other technique I used for this card was gool old fussy cutting.

TIP: For fussy cutting, I cut images in an anticlockwise manner, keeping the scissors close to the outer edge of the image. The more you fussy cut, the faster and more accurate you will become.

As you can see I fussy cut five of the characters from the Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper.

Each of these characters were adhered directly to the front of the DSP layer on the card base.

I added some Adhesive Sheet to the back of a couple of pieces of Petunia Pop cardstock and used the Mini Alphabet Dies to cut the letters for the external and internal messages.

I used the Hooray for Surprises Stamp Set to stamp the birthday cake and greeting on the card insert. I used Crushed Curry, Misty Moonlight and Petunia Pop inks.

Tomorrow I have another fun card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
