Hello my crafty friends! It’s Raquel Mason here today to share a gift card holder featuring Whiskers the Cat. Now that Christmas is over, there’s no need to put the Sleigh Gift Card Holder die set away. As you will see with this card, it’s put to good use year round. Instead of using the sleigh that comes with the set, I have used Whiskers the Cat instead. Let’s jump right in and get started with the tutorial!
Hi all! It’s Shelly Hickox here today to share a grungy masculine card that is perfect for any man in your life. I’ve started with one of my favorite dies from Karen Burniston – the Oval Pull Card – then incorporated more of my favorite dies, stamps, and stencils to create a steampunk birthday card.
When the card is in the closed position, it hints at what is hidden inside, but the real magic happens when the recipient pulls it open!
Hi everyone,
It’s Frances here, with my first project to share with you for 2017. For my project today I have used three of the new dies which are being released on the 9th of January. The Love Sentiments set and Love Birds are part of Els van de Burgt Studio Valentine Collection, and the gold decorative piece I used to decorate my card is the Lace Pocket from a new designer called ModaScrap. This die can be used in so many ways – not just for creating pocket cards.
Hi, it’s Sandy Diller here with you today. With Christmas behind us – it’s time to think about the new year. I made a card for a friend who celebrates the Chinese New Year and 2017 is the Year of the Rooster. I had to do a little surgery on Cheepers the Chicken to transform her into a rooster but she – or should I say he?, turned out pretty cute.
Hi everyone,
It’s Frances here, and it is my turn to post a Pop it Ups Wednesday tutorial today.
For my tutorial I have been playing with the Pull Card Edges die set. This die set was designed to use with all the Pull Card die sets to help with layering, but this die set can be used to create other cards as well, as you can see by the photo above. For my cards I have used all the edges in the set and you can see how you can use both the positive and negative parts when you die cut. Of course where I have used one shape on a card you can substitute one of the other shapes for a completely different look.
Hello my crafty friends! It’s Raquel Mason here today. My son was Pac-Man and I was Ms. Pac-Man for Halloween; that’s where I got the idea to make this card. What gamer wouldn’t find this card fun? Let me show you how easy it is to make.
With the holiday season drawing near there are sure to be people on your shopping lists who have asked for a gift card. These often seem a bit impersonal, but if you make a gift card holder you can show the recipient just how much you care.
Here I have used the Katie Label Accordion for the place where the card is kept and below I explain how I did it.
Mary here. This is a fun card that looks complicated but is fairly simple to make. I especially love the hanging charms, the silver glitter, and entwined frames.
Making the Card
1. With the main Ring Accordion die, cut two from snowflake paper (Wish List), one from candy cane paper (Magical), and two from red cardstock. Use the circle die to cut the center from both snowflake rings, one candy cane ring, and one red ring. Trim tabs, etc., off of one snowflake ring and one red ring so you just have 2 circle frames. Use the decorator edge die to cut 4 from red cardstock and 4 from white cardstock. Adhere the red edges to the back of the snowflake ring and the white to the front of the red ring.
This is Mary with a fun holiday card for those who remember flying down hills on one of these vintage sleds. I added mountains in the background of the card. As a kid, a big hill seemed like a mountain, especially when trudging back up dragging the sled behind. Using Through the Lens cardstock makes creating cards easier since no extra coloring is required!
Making the Card
1. Cut Bluebell Soft Finish Cardstock to 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches; fold in half. Stencil clouds at top using Titanium White and Neutral Gray PanPastel (or other white and gray chalk or ink).
