Today I have used the super cute Helga Hippo - Fairy Princess digital stamp by Polkadoodles, one of our generous sponsors this fortnight.
I created a centre box card to frame the magical Helga.
This card has fancy folds and dimension with the bonus of folding flat for mailing.
I printed Helga on X-Press It Blending card, heat set the image then coloured with Copic markers. Then came the fun (and challenge) of fussy cutting. Once cut, I went around the edges of the image with a tuxedo black marker. I added clear Wink of Stella sparkle to the wings.
I created the card base using my scoreboard, layering the panels with glitter tape and foiled patterned paper. I layered the glitter tape on white cardstock to create the die cut sentiment and fancy bows.
Here are some more pics - click on them to see them enlarged.
The card folds flat in either for mailing.
This was my first time creating a centre box card,
so I thought I would share my dimensions with you:
- panel for card base - 6 1/2" x 10 1/4"
- scored at 2" - 3 1/4" - 7 1/4" - 8 1/2"
- 2" glitter tape adhered to side and middle panels
- patterned paper panels - 1 1/2" x 6 3/8" and 3 1/2" x 6 3/8"
- sentiment panel - 8" x 1 7/8" (trimmed 1/8" off after glitter tape adhered)
- white layer of sentiment panel 7 3/4" x 1 5/8"
- sentiment & bows - adhered glitter tape to white cardstock then die cut
- Helga - 3 3/4" tall
Copic markers - teeth - W00 W0
Copic markers - wand - E99 Y21
(I added silver glitter to the wand, so you can't see the original yellow)
Memento Tuxedo Black Dual Tip Marker
textured cardstock
Martha Stewart scoreboard
Best Creation Inc - Glitter Tape - 2" silver
Paper Smooches - Bows Dies
Couture Creations - Intricutz Dies - Script Happy Birthday
Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Adhesive - to adhere the sentiment & bows
I hope I have inspired you to create a sparkling project and look forward to seeing your work shared in the challenge gallery.
Remember we are not just a card blog, we love to see scrapbook layouts, artjournal pages and all types of papercraft.
