Owl peg you down fridge magnet

This is a large wooden peg, that I have covered and added a strip of

magnet to the back, so when finished with cling to a fridge door

or anything metal.

 

The owl is a wooden shape that has been painted and googly eyes added for fun.

with a sentiment.

 

 

 

Gosjuss gatefold stepper

 

 

 

The following cards are all made up using three pieces of card

stuck together to make a gatefold stepper card.  They are fairly heavy

cards, but great for demonstration purposes showing what can

be made with scraps.

 

 

 

Blue Gate Fold Stepper Card

 

I have named this style of card a gate fold, stepper card

as it is something I have arranged out of using three pieces

 of grey card (odd bits) to make a finished card size to

fit a 6 x 6" envelope.

 

 

 

Cover the panels with Papermania capsule collection

papers once all edges have been inked.

 

Xcut sew lovely range of dies to cut oval

lace edging on the stamped sentiment, layered onto

the stepper. 

 

 

Holes punched into gate fold for ribbon to tie shut.

 

 

Xcut flower die used for front decoration.

Birthday Card for a friend:

 

Molly Bloom stamp, watercolour, Lucy Cromwell

papers by Papermania, Pan Pastels, Xcut leaf nesting die,

ribbon, Xcut flower die, Xcut doily die and Marianne

foliage dies.

 

Using an A5 white card blank mat and layer birdhouse paper onto

blue card stock. cut out doily, flowers and foliage.

 

 

Stamp the image onto white card watercolour and cut

out using the leaf nesting die, mat and layer the image.

Using Pan Pastels colour some clouds in the background of

the image. 

 

 

Sentiment is from the same paper pack bent and stuck

on either end to form a curve.

 

 

The inside of the card was decorated in the same

birdhouse paper and another die cut piece of card

mat and layered with a stamped verse.

 

Countryside scene

 

I have used many stamps to build up a country side scene.

 

Water colour the scene prior to mat and layering.

 

I have used Xcut cog dies on red card stock to add interest,

 along with green check ribbon.

 

 

Parissiene blue gift box

 

Parisienne blue gift box:

Papermania papers, pinwheel, ribbon,

buttons, lace paper and a stamped sentiment.

 

White card 8 x 8" score your card into thirds

horizontal and vertical, then score from each

corner diagonal to the first square, so it looks like

the image below.

 

 

 Cut your papers to fit into the panels, ink

the papers edges this makes the whole

project blend well together.

 

 

Add your pinwheels, buttons, lace paper etc.,

to each panel.

 

Punch a hole in each corner, thread your

ribbon and tie into a bow this holds

your box together.

Flap cards

 

 

Eau de nil flap cards:

 

Papermania eau de nil papers,

pinwheel, ribbon and xcut dies.  Bling,

Anita's topper, lace doily and a piece of

Velcro to hold the top flap when closed.

 

 

Adhere two 6 x 6" white card so both flap

are standing out the front.

 

Mat an layer two panels one on the right flap

one being the insert area.

 



 

Cover the left flap completely with your chosen paper.

 

 

Place your image, pinwheel main feature to show

through the flaps and cut out the holes with your dies

the top flap is a larger hole than the one below.

 



 

I then cut the top left hand flap to add

shape using scissors and round the point.

 

Place your Velcro below the rounded

point on the card to hold the flaps closed.

Trains

I get asked for a lot of different men's cards, 

here is a selection of trains using the same

stamp with different coloured papers and

watercolours.

 

All these cards are mat and layered onto

6 x 6 Kraft card and this makes a great base

not only the size, but also compliments the

man theme.

 

I have used an inverted corner punch on all

these cards, it just shows the background layer

up a bit more.

 

 

 

Used the Xcut gear dies with the screw head

brads.

 

 

LOTV sentiment and Spellbinder large cog die

to cut the image out on this one.

Card with bookmark

This card has been made to fit a 6 x 6 envelope

It has a detachable bookmark so this is a card

and gift in one. 

 

 

I have used Anita's Decoupage and did not attached

the first and second layer, so as you open the card

you have the main image framed.

 

I have embossed the backing papers using the new

A3 embossing folder by Xcut 'butterflies'
