Hi
This is
the 2nd card I have now made from the fanastic kits by Sue
Douglas and bought from www.craftsuprint.com
They are
from the Window With A View series – this is the New Baby Boy which
I have made for the lady who does my nails – Teresa – as she will
be a grandma again any time now – and I loved the kit and having a
reason to actually make this one up
So
materials for this card I used ….
Heat mat
to work on and protect your surface – I always use it...
Main
sheets – there are 6 sheets per kit
A4 white
card (lightweight)
Glossy
Accents to finish
AB gems
and pearls
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 started
by trimming the borders off then sprayed the back of each sheet with
Crafters Companion Stick & Stay, then smoothed the sheets onto
light weight white card
There is a
lot of cutting out – if you look at the cot you will see I chose to
leave the white bits in – the design works well with or without the
white pieces.
Once
everything was cut out and I had my chosen sentiment I added that to
the back of the card with sticky pads.
Next I
used photo glue to stick the 2 inner frame panels together – these
have slots along the sides for the doors to go into for opening.
After that
it was a case of slotting in the elements – you can see where they
need to be slotted by the position of the slits in the sides and the
tabs on the support!
Last thing
I did was stick the back of the card back in place – again I used
photo glue as I was concerned if I didn't get lined up exactly it
would ruin all the hard work!
I bet when
you looked at the card you said WOW or something similar – they are
the kind of finished cards that really do merit a WOW
All I have
to do now is write on the back, pop into a standard 8x8 envelope and
hand it over!
See you
next time folks
