Flying by to say hi Card (IC #2)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Flying by to say hi Card. :o)

This is a DOUBLE CIRCLE SLIDER SPINNER CARD. 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 second 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.

I have made circle slider spinner card in the past (here), but never double. Inspired with my own IC #1 card set that I also made for the challenge (here), I  thought it would be fun to give it a try.

How I made this card....

To make this card I used super cute paper planes and a sentiment from Lawn Fawn 'Flying By' stamp set :o)

I colored images during Kathy's Racoosin 12th 30 Day Coloring Challenge. You can see all my coloring samples during the challenge here.

I stamped paper planes on a watercolor paper and watercolored them using a Distress Ink Hickory Smoke. After drying, I fussy cut paper planes and traced their edges with black marker.

I stamped more paper planes on a white cardstock paper, colored them with black marker and fussy cut them, this time leaving white thin border around paper planes.

Then I glued all images together. I glued watercolored paper planes over black colored paper planes. I did this because watercolor paper I use is thin and I needed thicker images. :o)

I ink blended clouds through a cloud stencil I made by myself (how, I described here) on the white cardstock paper. After drying, I cut a circle in the stenciled paper using EK Success Circle Cutter.

I stamped the sentiment and die cut concentric circles twice on the cloud panel.

For a card base, I cut two circles in the white cardstock paper, slightly larger than the cloud circle panel, using EK Success Circle Cutter and glued two circles together on top.

For slider mechanisms, I used die-cut circles in the white cardstock and plastic letter beads I have in my stash for a while. I made two same mechanisms. I glued two die-cut circles together. Then I glued the bead on glued circles and repeated same for another mechanism. I didn't use any special glue. I used UHU all purpose liquid glue.

With all parts ready, I assembled the card. I glued cut out circular belts directly on the card base (2). Then I glued 3-D foams on the cloud panel (1), placed slider mechanisms on the card base and glued the panel on the card base. I glued 3-D foams on inner circles (3) and glued them on the card base.

Lastly, I glued paper planes on slider mechanisms and my card set was finished. :o)

Paper Plane Fun Card Set (IC #1)

Hello everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Paper Plane Fun Card Set. :o)

I made this Interactive Card (IC) Set of SLIDER SPINNER CARDS 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 first 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.

I colored images during Kathy's Racoosin 12th 30 Day Coloring Challenge. You can see all my coloring samples during the challenge here.


How I made this card set...

To make this card set I used super cute paper planes from Lawn Fawn 'Flying By' stamp set and a sentiment form Create a Smile 'Uplifitng' stamp set. :o)

I stamped paper planes on a watercolor paper and watercolored them using a Distress Ink Hickory Smoke. After drying, I fussy cut paper planes and traced their edges with black marker.

I stamped more paper planes on a white cardstock paper, colored them with black marker and fussy cut them, this time leaving white thin border around paper planes.

Then I glued all images together. I glued watercolored paper planes over black colored paper planes. I did this because watercolor paper I use is thin and I needed thicker images. :o)

I ink blended clouds through a cloud stencil I made by myself (how, I described here) on the white cardstock paper A5 size. After drying, I die cut circles in the stenciled paper using My Favorite Things, Die-namics Wonky Stitched Circle STAX.

For card bases, I cut two circles for each card in the white cardstock paper using EK Success Circle Cutter and glued two circles together on top.

I stamped the sentiment on each cloud background circle panel.

As I don't have slider die-cuts, I used tools I have to create slider opening. I die cut two tiny circles on the cloud panel (1). Then I cut two lines using a kraft knife and ruler from one to another circle (2) and got slider opening (3). I repeated same on two other panels.

For a slider mechanism, I used plastic buttons and plastic letter beads I have in my stash for a while. I glued one bead on one button and left all dry for one hour. I didn't use any special glue. I used UHU all purpose liquid glue.

With all parts ready, I assembled cards. I glued 3-D foams on the cloud panel, placed the slider mechanism on the card base and glued the panel on the card base. I repeated same on all cards.

Tips: the slider mechanism has to be slightly thicker than 3-D foams, it has to peek out through the slider opening and it has to move freely. 3-D foams shouldn't be glued closely to the cut opening.

Lastly, I glued paper planes on slider mechanism and my card set was finished. :o)

I love how these mini circle slider spinner cards turned out. So FUN!!! Here is a short video. :o)

Kindness Circle 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 Kindness Circle Card. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with my own card I made for our release blog hop (here).

I used stamps from two gorgeous Jane's Doodles stamp sets: Plumeria and Kind.

 

How I made my card....

I ink blended clouds through a cloud stencil I made by myself (how, I described here) on a white cardstock paper A5 size. After drying, I die cut a circle in the stenciled paper. I left rest of it for another project. :o)

For a card base, I die cut two more circles in the white cardstock paper and glued them together on top.

I stamped a sentiment on the cloud background circle panel and glued it on the card base.

I stamped images on a watercolor paper and loosely watercolored them using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut images and traced their edges with black marker. I softened images with a stylus ball on a soft working mat and glued them on the panel.

With images ready, I glued them on the card using 2 different thickness of square foams.

As a finishing touch, I drew white highlights  and my card was finished. :o)

I love how my card turned out. :o)

B&W Goth Birthday Girl Card

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Black & White, Goth Birthday Girl Card. :o)

To make this card I used an adorable Tiddly Inks 'Whatever Floats By' digital image and My Favorite Things 'Cloud' stencil. :o)

I love challenging myself. Using minimum number of colors on my projects is one of them. :o) On my today's card I used only two colors: Tim's Holtz Distress Ink Black Soot for coloring and ink blending and Uniball Signo White Pigment Ink Pen to add finishing touches.

How I made my card...

I made a layout on my computer and printed the image directly on a watercolor paper. I left it aside couple of hours to let ink dry completely to prevent ink smearing while coloring.

I trimmed the watercolor paper to a desirable size and ink blended clouds in the background using the cloud stencil. I didn't mask the image, as I planed to color it afterwards, but tried to avoid as much as possible blending over it. I'm vary satisfied with my stenciled clouds, as this was the first time I created clouds on my card using ink blending technique and the cloud stencil. :o)

Next up was coloring. I colored the image in watercolor technique and left it dry on air.

After drying, I ink blended the panel edges and glued it on a black top folded card base. As a finishing touch, I drew white highlights with the white pigment ink pen.

I love how my card turned out. :o)

Card measurements: 98 mm x 148 mm (3 7/8" x 5 7/8")

List of supplies:

• Tiddly Inks 'Whatever Floats By' digital image
• My Favorite Things 'Cloud' stencil
• black cardstock paper
• watercolor paper 
• Tim's Holtz Distress Ink Black Soot
• Uniball Signo White Pigment Ink Pen
