Hello my
friends
I'm back!!!
This is a
fab card that was made using a sheet from A Year In Cards by Ella
Designs – check out the website for her other great cds too
This is the
birthday card from MARCH which can also be made as a Mothers Day card
The cds are
so easy to use and the artwork is super....
So
materials for this card I used ….
Heat mat to
work on and protect your surface – I always use it...
A4 black
card stcok
Decoupage
sheet
Clear AB
gems
Cosmic
Shimmer PVA glue
Double sided
tape
Sticky pads
Eazi Score
Board & tool
Tonic 8”
guillotine
Scissors
Tweezers
Shaping tool
from www.dimensionstamps.com
Foam shaping
mat – stamping mat or even a mouse mat
To
make the card ...
I folded the
black using line 7 of the eazi score board then flipped it round and
scored again on the same line to get my 6x6 card blank.
I had
printed the instructions and template for this card from the cd so
basically what I had to do was draw a line from top left to bottom
right and another top right down to bottom left – then cut away the
top triangle to leave me with the envelope type front.
After
cutting the decoupage pieces from the sheet I stuck the largest
triangle with double sided tape to the bottom right followed by the
smaller to the top left – these covered the front of the envelope
card.
I then
attached the printed sentiment panel to the inside of the card –
this is my insert – again I used double sided tape.
Back to the
card front now – I attached the band of green chequered paper
across the centre of the envelope front then cut the lovely scalloped
circle that was already pre printed – this was positioned in the
centre – and for once I remembered not to add any adhesive to the
top of the circle as it wasn't attached to anything!!!
There was a
lovely little tab to fold and lay over the card so I decided to add
it to the top right of the card which then showed the design on the
back too!
On to the
decorating of the card – I used lovely clear AB gems – I added
one to each scallop and then a handful to the teapot.
Glamour dust
was used to highlight the cakes and glossy accents were added to the
sugar cubes, the teapot lid and the strawberries on the tag!
Well I think
this is a really pretty card that could be used for many occasions –
it was lovely to make and because it prints over 2 pages I actually
had enough elements left to make a 2nd pretty card which
was so different to this one...keep you eye on the blog as it is
bound to turn up soon!!!
Until the
next card then....
