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)

Rainbow Circles Birthday Shaker Card

Hi everyone! :o)

My second post today. If you missed first one, just scroll down or follow a direct link here.

I want to share with you this Rainbow Circles Birthday Shaker Card I made couple days ago. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with my own cards, one made in July 2016 (find it here) and other in March 2018 (find it here). I went with same layout, CAS design, used Rainbow colors on all cards, but used different techniques on today's card and created an interactive card (multiple window shaker card). :o)

How I made my card...

First I prepared a card base and two white cardstock paper panels, all same size.

I die cut seven CIRCLES in one paper panel and stamped 'Happy Birthday' sentiment stamp from Lawn Fawn which I received as a birthday gift last year from Lawn Fawn. :o)

I glued the acetate sheet at the back of the panel to close windows/holes and then 3-D foam squares around each window and rest of the panel.

Then I blended various Distress Inks on a white cardstock paper, approximately A6 paper size for each color (except green tones, Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover, those I blended together). After drying, I cut out seven pieces slightly larger than die cut circles, each from different blended color. I glued them on the another white panel.

I filled each window with transparent beads and glued two panels together. My shaker piece was finished. :o)

Lastly, I glued the shaker part on the white top folded card base. :o)

This is my first try on a multiple window shaker card and I love how it turned out. :o)

Here is a short video. :o)

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

List of supplies:

• Lawn Fawn 'Happy Birthday' sentiment stamp (2018 birthday gift from Lawn Fawn)
• Sizzix circle thinlits dies (from starter kit)
• white cardstock paper
• Ranger Archival Ink, Jet Black
• Tim's Holtz Distress Inks:
• Mustard Seed
• Spiced Marmalade
• Festive Berries
• Wilted Violet
• Blueprint Sketch
• Salty Ocean
• Twisted Citron
• Lucky Clover
• transparent beads
• acetate sheet
• UHU liquid glue
• 3-D foam squares, 5 x 5 x 3 mm
• foam sheet, 3 mm thick
• Sizzix Big Shot
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• acrylic block (102 mm x 102 mm)
• bone folder
• Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool
• scissors

I made this interactive card prior my personal challenge started, so I'm not counting it as a card I made for my challenge. I will surely make another interactive card of this type during the challenge Can't stop shaking it. LOL :o)

Birthday Hippo Card

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Birthday Hippo Card. :o)

I made this card for my friend Mirela who's birthday was yesterday. :o)

To make this card I used super adorable 'Valentine Hippo' freebie digital image from Goebie Design and a 'Happy Birthday' sentiment stamp from Lawn Fawn which I got for my last birthday from Lawn Fawn. :o)

How I made this card...

I made a layout on my computer and printed the image on a white cardstock paper panel.

Then I printed out 2 more images on a white carsdstock paper and 2 on a watercolor paper.

After couple hours of drying I colored pieces I needed in watercolor technique and other pieces with black marker. After drying, I fussy cut all pieces, except the one printed on the panel, traced edges with black marker and softened watercolored pieces on a soft working mat using stylus ball. I did this to add some dimension to my image.

Here is a photo of all pieces I used for paper piecing this adorable hippo.

With all pieces ready, I glued together pieces. I used liquid glue and 3-D foam to add even more dimension.

I stamped the sentiment on the panel, glued a patterned paper stripe on a white top folded card base and then the panel with the image.

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

Card measurements: 95 mm x 140 mm (3 3/4" x 5 1/2")
