White Feather Card (IC #13)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this CAS (clean and simple), White Feather Card. :o)

I made this Interactive (IC) ACCORDION GATEFOLD CARD for my Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2019 personal challenge. If you want to find out more about it, just follow the link provided. :o)

This is a thirteenth type of IC I made for my challenge. I made 15 different types of interactive cards during Pisces period, which was my personal challenge. I completed my challenge, achieved my goals and had a lot of fun. I wrote a short review about the challenge here.

It's taking me much longer than I planed to share all my IC cards with you. I will give my best to share rest of two by the end of this month.

How I made this card...

To make this card I used gorgeous feather die cut I got from a dear friend crafter, Alice of Scrap & C. Thank you so much, Alice!!! ♥

For a card base I used a white cardstock paper cut to 11 1/4" x 5". I scored the paper at 1 7/8", 3 3/4", 7 1/2" and 9 3/8" on the longer side and folded paper along scored lines. I got a card base measured 3 3/4" x 5".

With the card base ready, I die cut a feather on both gate flaps. I glued an acetate piece behind each gate opening, but just on one half.

I die cut 4 more feathers from a white cardstock paper scraps and glued two together (stacking die cuts). Then I glued stacked feathers into gate openings (die cut inlay technique).

Lastly I created a super simple belt that will keep the card closed. I cut a vellum paper to a desirable size, 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)

Card measurements (closed): 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")

List of supplies:

• Sizzix thinlits die - Little Feather Mini
• white cardstock paper

Rainbow Butterfly Gatefold Window Card (IC #11)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Rainbow Butterfly Gatefold Window Card. :o)

I made this Interactive (IC) GATEFOLD WINDOW CARD for my Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2019 personal challenge. If you want to find out more about it, just follow the link provided. :o)

This is an eleventh type of IC I made for my challenge. I made 15 different types of interactive cards during Pisces period, which was my personal challenge. I completed my challenge, achieved my goals and had a lot of fun. I wrote a short review about the challenge here.

To make this card I was inspired with GORGEOUS cards made by Vicky Papaioannou. You can find them on her blog here and a video tutorial here. Thank you for the inspiration and tutorial, Vicky!!! :o)

How I made this card...

For a card base I used a white cardstock paper cut to 7 1/2" x 5". I scored the paper at 1 7/8" and 5 5/8" on the longer side and folded paper along scored lines. I got a card base measured 3 3/4" x 5". Then I die cut butterfly on the gate flaps, half on one and half on second, just like Vicky did in her video, and my card base was finished.

For the inside I decided to go with die cut inlay technique. I cut a rainbow patterned paper panel, slightly smaller than the card base and die cut the butterfly in it. I die cut another butterfly in a white cardstock paper scrap. I glued the panel inside the card and glued all die cut pieces on their place. To add more interest to the butterfly, I drew white dots on butterfly's wings using a white pigment ink pen.

Then I created a belt that will keep the 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)

Card measurements: 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'You Got This' stamp set (sentiment)
• Sizzix butterfly thinlits die
• white cardstock paper

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)

Pisces Gatefold Card (IC #3)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this CAS (clean and simple), one layer, Pisces Gatefold Card. :o)

This is a GATEFOLD CARD, an interactive card with a special folding and opening.

I made this Interactive Card (IC) for my Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2019 personal challenge. If you want to find out more about it, just follow the link provided. :o)

This is a third type of IC I made for my challenge. I made 15 different types of interactive cards during Pisces period, which was my personal challenge. As I don't have a lot of die-cuts, I used all possible tools I have, combined this and that, planned, sketched... I completed my challenge, achieved my goals and had a lot of fun. I wrote a short review about the challenge here.

How I made this card....

To make this card I used super cute Pisces stamp from Mama Elephant 'Cosmic Stars' and a sentiment from Mama Elephant 'Starry Night' stamp set.

For a card base I used a white cardstock paper cut to 8 3/4" x 5". I scored the paper at 2 1/2" and 6 1/4", as shown at picture below, and folded paper along scored lines.

At this point gate flaps of my card were overlapping. I unfolded the card base, drew lines with a pencil and stamped the Pisces image on each flap, as shown at picture below.

After stamping, I cut along lines drawn with the pencil and along stamped images, as shown on the picture below.

At this point my card base was ready for coloring. I erased pencil marks and traced images' edges with a black marker. I colored Pisces image with TOZ Artist Colored Pencils. I drew white highlights with a white gel pen.

Lastly, I created a belt that will keep card closed. I heat embossed the 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)

This is my first take on a gateflod card and I LOVE how it turned out. :o)
