Hello again
and a big thank you for popping in again to see what I have on offer
today!
Its another
card made from a kit I bought from the very talented Lyn through her
website which is
The kit
included the main card sheet, the insert sheet, back and front
envelope sheets and 2 – yes 2 sheets of decoupage for just 75p....I
only used half of the decoupage which means I get another card made
from what is left over so even better value for money...check out
Lyns website – you will be amazed at just how much stuff she has on
there – oh and this kit is called Shaped Cards Set 80
So
materials for this card I used ….
Heat mat to
work on and protect your surface – I always use it...
Bright red
A4 card stock
6 sheets of
printed design sheets
Sakura
quickie glue pen
Cosmic
Shimmer PVA
Glamour dust
Glossy
accents
Double sided
tape
Sticky pads
Crafters
Companion Stick & Stay
Eazi Score
Board & tool
To
make the card ...
I roughly
cut out the main card from the sheet – turned it over and evenly
sprayed the Crafters Companion Stick & Stay over the back, left
it for approx 30 seconds then popped it onto the bright red card
stock and carefully cut out the card.
Next I used
the eazi score board to score down the card on the fold line, creased
it well then opened it again and added the blank insert to the right
hand side – I have lots of lovely christmas verse rubber stamps
which was why I didn't add a verse before printing out.
I know there
is a piece of decoupage to fit the reverse of the card front but I
decided not to use it as I liked the bright red card showing – it
looks so cheerful.
So now its
down to cutting out the decoupage – as I said at the start of this
– there are 2 sheets of decoupage so I just used alternate layers
so it works out ok for the 2nd image – it doesn't matter
there is no base image as this will work just as well as a standard
card using a backing paper.
I layered up
the decoupage using double sided sticky pads.
Once I had
as much decoupage as I wanted I began to embellish it
I used the
Sakura quickie glue pen to highlight where I wanted to add a light
sprinkling of glamour dust but where I wanted a thick covering –
like on the pompom I used the Cosmic Shimmer PVA then covered with
glamour dust.
Glossy
accents was used on the gold ribbon of the parcel, the red berries
and the eyes and nose of the cute bear.
The envelope
was simple to make up – I cut out the 2 pieces and scored using the
Eazi Score board on all score lines, then folded and sharpened the
score lines
A wide
double sided tape was used to attach the 2 pieces together
I do hope
seeing this card has made you want to pop over to Lyns website and
check out her sheets and kits....just be warned – the prices are
low – quality very high – and so many to chose from I know you
will be back again and again that's how come I have so many and
still go back often...
See you
tomorrow
