Bday card

Hello my friends. I made this card with inspiration from Dawn Gribbith.

I used Let`s go paper pack. It has a Travel theme. This card is for my Dad's birthday. He will receive a flight ticket from my family.

 

 I cut the strip 13,5 cm x 5,5 cm. and I scored at 1,5 cm as shown. I glued the smaller part to the back of the card and the wider part will be shown on the front and will be used as small pocket. 

 

For the paper be able to be stuck behind the pocket, i used a staple. It is important not to staple throw the front paper. Do cut the front paper shorter so you will have a space from the bottom  (about 1,5 cm).

 

Now it time to design the front of the card. I used a stamp with  suitable subject.

I wanted to have clean design so I used only three colors: white black and red.  This paper pack have great patterns!

 

That the front of the card. As you can see the front paper is stopped into the front pocket.  

The text is in Swedish and it says: Enjoy every minute.

 

When you take out the front paper, that what you see: Short message and I will put a note inside the pocket where it will be said : Ticket to Germany

Hope you like this card.

Hugs, DI

Shadow box

Hello crafties,

I have made this Shadow box for a dear friend of mine for her 40's birth day.
I really hope She will like it.
Here I used the Die cuts from the Whimsical pack and I cut few of the same flowers to make 3D layers. I chalked with vintage photo Distress and I used my Blending tools.
I added some Shabby Bricks from chipboard collection to give it more feeling of the house wall.
I used some White gesso on the bricks.

At the bottom you can see the new beautiful collection of the fabric flowers.
I added som small bottles for the decorations and filled them up with some white sequins.
On the big bottle on the right I added number 40 since she turning 40. I preferred to make those as small as possible so she wont feel as 40. :)

 

Here you can see the close up for the die cuts.At the window I used same fabric flowers to make a curtain.

 

 

The backside of the box: I cut the beautiful card from the Whimsical and made is as packet. Inside I cut some 2 tags if she would like to write something.

 

Here is the front of the Shadow box. The background of the box is a pattern from Whimsical. Just gorgeous colors and design.

 

Hope you like that project 

 

Thanks for visiting 

Hugs,

Easter slider card

Hey guys
Easter slider card is really fun to make. Here comes a tutorial.

You can check the VIDEO in the end of the post

I choose the Cardstock  for my background. the Whimsical paper pack including 2 gorgeous cardstock colours that matches the patterns.
I cut the CS size 26 cm x 17 cm.
I score at 12 cm, 24 cm just as you see on the picture. When I was done I glued the design paper on the part that will be front of my card.

 

I choosed this Stamp from Hänglar with my favorite Easter bunny and colored it with Distress markers. On the right you can see the die cuts from the Whimsical. I cut 2 pcs of the same die cut to make 3D design. After words I stamped happy Easter text.

 

Here you can see I tried to make it as if Bunny holding those beautiful flowers

 

 

I added some grass in few layers for the 3D design and cut this frame from the Whimsical. It comes few different postcards with different subjects. those you can cut and use as you wish.

 

Close up for the grass and the bunny.

 

 

Here I want to show you from the other side so you can see all those great layers and small details of die cuts. So cute.

 

Here I took trimmer and cut down a line . The line is about 12 cm long when it starts from about 3 cm on the top and 2 cm on the bottom. The you line up about 2 cm .

Then I had to make a "mechanism" to move the frame up.  So I took a slice of paper about 

2cm x 8 cm. On the top of the paper at the right end I used 3D pillow to fast the frame on. Flip over and put double side tape on the other side. This piece of paper slides in where we cut a slip so the 3D pillow shows on the front part of the card. Slide whole way down and 3D pillow just as close as it goes to the cutting line. Flip over and now you should glue the inside paper on the strip with double side tape. The paper in size of 11,4 cm x 16, 6 cm. I lined up with the top of the card. Now the paper can slide up and down to  show the secret message. O actually had the secret message at the bottom of the card since my Bunny was so big. Otherwise you can have the message on the inside paper that slides up and down. Free choice.

 

  Here is the strip so you can see from inside .

  

Here I punched the half circle  and then turn over the paper and punch same half circle on the other half... the back part of the card. Here you can see the glue on the left part that we scored before. So it is just to glue together and it will make the pocket.

 

     

 

 Here is the back of the card and I used the Sentiments from the Whimsical. and colored with copics and stamped  for some pattern.

  

The Front of the card 

 Here you can see the secret message when you pool the jute cord up.

Thanks guys

Exploding box

Hello my friends

Today I am showing you a new project and it is an Exploding box/album.
In theend of thepost you can check out the video.
Here you can see the lock of the box.
I have used Femina paper pack for this project. The lock I decorated with few different patterns from the pack as a base and the Embellishments I used: Fabric Flowers - FL3001 and Fabric Flowers - FL5002.
Chipboards -  Flourish.

Here comes some of the details photos of the outside of the box

I used the Femina pattern for the houses. 

This side I designed and decorated with the die cuts from Femina. The are really cute.The grass Is made with help of Joys dies and the paper pattern is from Blush

Even here I used the die cuts from Femina. The flowers on the Hot air balloon I made from the sequins.

 

When you take off the lock, all the pages are falling out of the box. Inside it some surprises. 

some pockets for photos, some tags and much more. The thing you see in the middle is a glass bottle that I decorated with lace, pattern and some special words that symbolize the meaning of this box. 

This box I made for my best friend who is always there for me. She helps me with everything. She is really my hero. So I thought that Box/Album can be something special for her. The meaning of the box is that like once a month her family members will write some special note to each other, fold it and keep it in the box and in the end of the year they can sit together, read and feel the love of each other. The top of the bottle I decorated with Epoxy dots where I used die cut from Femina.

The details of the bottle  and the Album/box you can find in the end of the post where is the detailed Video.

 

Here is how the album looks from the bottom.

Slider card with Blush pack

Hej guys
I would like to show a new card.

I will try to explain the process
1. You should  score as it shows  at step one. (this is the inside part of the card that  will be shown at the front).
2. You  cut the front part of the card and make a frame.

 3. As you see at the picture you glue the bottom part to the back side of the card, The pink beautiful part is the part you drag up to reveal the inside message.
4. I cut a small trim and glued on top. Just tiny detail.
5. you put the glue on the other border and you glue it on the top of the front frame.

 

, 

Here you can see a close up for the decorations. I used many of the die cuts and I chalked the borders to give it more effect. I used Papericious Blending tool. The flowers, the butterflies and the pennant and much more die cuts you will fiend at the beautiful Blush paper pack. I had some Lace as well.

That how the card looks when you pool the heart up and reveal the message. The message comes as well from The Blush paper pack where it many beautiful sentiments. This message I decorated with some die cuts as well. Very fun to cut them and use differently. The girl is stamp from Hänglar and I colored it with distress markers and her clothes and the Heart I stamped on paper and glue with 3D pillows.

Here is the front of the card when it closed and the back side of the card where you can take out a tag and write more personal message.
