Confirmation Gatefold Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Confirmation Gatefold Card. :o)

I made this card for my brother's godson, who has confirmation tomorrow.

To make this card I used a sentiment from GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles 'Bless Your Heart' stamp set.

How I made this card...

For a card base I used a white cardstock paper cut to 7" x 5 1/2". I scored the paper at 1 3/4" and 5 1/4" on the longer side and folded paper along scored lines. I got a card base measured 3 1/2" x 5 1/2".

I drew a cross on a patterned paper with a pencil and cut along lines. Then I drew a slightly larger cross on the white cardsotck paper and cut it out. I erased pencil marks and glued patterned cross on the white one.

I glued two patterned paper stripes on gate flaps. I glued three paper stripes on the back of the cross to get a bit of dimension (I didn't have enough 3-D foam in my stash, so I used stacked paper stripes instead) and glued it on the left gate.

Then I created a belt that will keep card closed. I heat embossed a sentiment in white on a vellum paper and cut it to a desirable size. I wrapped the vellum belt around the card (not too tight), removed it and glued two endings together to form a belt. I placed the belt on the card to keep it closed and my card was finished. :o)

I love how my card turned out and my brother too (he will give this card to his godson), which was the most important to me. :o)

Speedy Recovery Card (CASology Week #293 GDT)

Hi everyone! :o)

I was delighted to be asked to be a Guest Designer at CASology for Week 293, after I won in their Week 287 challenge. :o)

This week's cue word is Cross.

I made this CAS (clean and simple), Speedy Recovery Card.

Design defined: 

One main image with a little dimension, simple color scheme and a lot of a white space works great on CAS designs.

How I made the card...

For my card I used stamps from Create a Smile 'Whimsical Wheels' stamp set.

I stamped an ambulance vehicle on a watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the vehicle and traced edges with black marker.

Watercolor paper I use is very thin. To make the image thicker, I stamped the vehicle one more time on a white cardstock paper, fussy cut it, traced edges with black marker and glued together both vehicles: white and colored one.

Then I stamped a sentiment directly on a top folded white card base and glued some colored paper stripes on the card base to ground the image. I glued some foam on the back of the ambulance vehicle, place it on the card and my card was finished. :o)

Card dimensions: 89 mm x 121 mm (3 1/2" x 4 3/4")

• Create a Smile 'Whimsical Wheels' stamp set
• white cardstock paper
• watercolor paper
