Constellation Card

Hello everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Constellation Card.

I made this card using a gorgeous Hero Arts 'Reverse Constellation' background woodblock stamp and a sentiment from super adorable Jane's Doodles 'Belated Birthday' stamp set.

I inked the constellation stamp with VersaMark Watermark Ink, wiped it with my palm, inked the stamp with Distress Ink Peacock Feathers and pressed a white cardstock paper panel on the stamp. I removed the panel from the stamp and left it dry on air.

After drying, I glued some foam on the panel and glued it on a white top folded card base. I glued a white panel inside the card to make it thicker.

Then I heat embossed in white the sentiment on a black cardstock paper, cut a banner, tied embrodiery thread around the banner, glued some foam tape on the banner and placed it on the card.

As a finishing touch, I embellished the card with clear droplets and sequins.

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

For You Shaker Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

It's been quiet for a while here on my blog. I had some extra school activities and classes last two weeks, field trip class... I focused on my work and planing school activities and put crafting and blogging aside for a bit. I also start to work in my balcony garden. :o)


Yesterday was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this For You Shaker Card. :o)

For my card I used stamps from two BEAUTIFUL Jane's Doodles stamp sets: Life is Good and Doodle Flowers.

 

How I made my card...

I stamped a jar on a rainbow patterned paper and cut it out with scissors (I left a lid uncut). I traced the edges and colored the lid with a black marker. Then I glued acetate sheet on the panel to close a window.

I stamped another jar on a top folded card base, glued 3-D foam on the panel, filled the jar with sequins and glued the rainbow panel on the card base.

Then I stamped another lid on a pink patterned paper, cut it out, glued 3-D foam on the lid and glued it over the black one.

To make card sturdier, I glued a white cardstock paper panel inside the card.

I struggled with a sentiment and had no idea where to put it. Without the sentiment, there was just something missing and didn't like it. Finally I decided to stamp the sentiment directly on the acetate sheet. I fixed some lines with a black fine liner and my card was finished. :o)

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

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Life is Good' stamp set (jar)
• Jane's Doodles 'Doodle Flowers' stamp set (sentiment)
• white cardstock paper
• Lawn Fawn 'Really Rainbow' petite paper pack
• acetate sheet
• various sequins
• Ranger's Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Stabilo Fibre Tip Pen (Marker), Black 68/46
• Mittsubishi Pencil, Black Fine Liner 03
• UHU liquid glue
• foam sheet, 3 mm thick
• foam sheet scraps, 1 mm thick
• acrylic block (102 mm x 102 mm)
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• bone folder
• scissors

Square Birthday Shaker Card

Happy Friday! :o)

Today I want to share with you this CAS (clean and simple), Square Birthday Shaker Card I made for my youngest cousin Elena (Eli), who will celebrate 3rd birthday in two weeks. :o)

My card is a CASE of an adorable shaker card made by Laura Bassen of Doublestick Heaven. So simple and so pretty. Love!! :o) Same design, but some differences. I made 1" x 1" larger card than Laura, I used polka dot patterned paper and only three different color sequins: pink, white, silver.

How I made this card...

First I cut all parts I needed. Here are the measurements:

• card base: 8" x 4" (folded in half 4" x 4")
• white panels: 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" x 2
• patterned paper: 4" x 4"
• circle window on patterned paper: d = 3"
• acetate sheet: 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"
• foam: 4" x 4" square with circle window d = 3 1/4", 3 mm thick

I stamped a sentiment from Create a Smile 'Mini Birthday' mini stamp set on the white panel and glued it on the front of the top folded card base. I glued acetate sheet on circle window and then foam on the back of the patterned paper panel.

For shaker elements I used three different shaker elements mixese (see detailed supply list below). These are adorable, but I didn't want to use all colors included. I picked some from each mix and created my own. I placed shaker elements on the card and glued the patterned paper panel on the top of the card.

Lastly, I glued another white panel inside the card to make it thicker and more stable, because front of the card is quite heavy and card couldn't stand.

Here is a short video....

Card dimensions: 101 mm x 101 mm (4" x 4")
