Hello
Well
as promised a card I made up yesterday!
This
is from a kit bought from card making downloads
It
is called Boys In Blue and is designed by Card Buddies
As
with a lot of the kits by Card Buddies there are loads of pages to
print – this kit had the 2 for the envelope, the main card, the
insert, a backing paper, a decoupage sheet and a sheet with assorted
sentiments and ages!
So
after decided which insert I wanted – I opted for a Birthday – I
printed all the sheets onto 128gsm matt photo paper and began the
task of cutting it all out!
For
the main card I only cut roughly as I stuck this to a sheet of white
card stock using Crafters Companion Stick & Stay glue – then
cut it out properly!
I
never have success 1st time with these lovely shaped cards
– I get them al cut out and when I fold in half they never quite
match up so have to snip and trim to fit!
So
once I was happy with the card itself I attached the insert – again
I cut it out, folded in half and tidied up the edges then attached
with a small strip of double sided tape to the centre of the fold
side – on the top and the bottom – I know some people just stick
one side – some use a full length of tape – so it really is a
matter of personal choice here.
On
to the decoupage – this was big chunky pieces so nice and easy to
cut out and of course to stick down – I used big sticky pads and
just cut them up to fit smaller areas
The
top layers were shaped before the sticky pads were added.
Once
the decoupage was complete I stuck on the sentiment – it was just a
plain and simple police saying – Hello Hello Hello!
For
embellishments – well nothing much was needed so used glossy
accents on the badge, pompom and band of the helmet, his nose, belt
buckle and shoes!
I
finished by adding 3 very tiny pale blue buttons to the jacket using
Pinflair Gel
The
envelope was simply cut both pieces and score where indicated –
then use double sided tape to attach the 2 pieces together.
I
would love to hear your thoughts on the jolly policeman
See
you tomorrow folks
