HELLO Sunshine

It's time for another challenge with us at the

This month we are letting our creative juices flow with
Crafty Gals Corner Challenges are monthly.
Each crafter may only submit 3 projects per challenge.

~~~*~~~*~~~

The sponsors for this challenge are:


Prize ~ 2 Digital Images


Stamper's Delights

Prize ~ 3 Single Digital Images
Twinkle Lane Designs
Prize: Two Digital Images & Two Coordinating Digital Paper Sets 

 ~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Sunflower Bouquet digital stamp and Honey Bees digital papers from Twinkle Lane Designs, one of our generous sponsors this month, to make a big, cheery, hello card.


I opened the Sunflower Bouquet digital stamp and Honey Bees digital papers in Silhouette Studio and sized the elements for my card design (design based on a sketch - details & link below).  I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set, coloured with Copic markers and trimmed to size.  I printed the patterned paper panel on smooth cardstock and trimmed to size.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the pennant shaped panel (details & link below) used to mat the image panel.  I die cut the hello sentiment from the excess trimmed from printing the patterned paper panel and used a black Copic 100 marker to colour it.  I made a 6 3/8" square card base from heavy smooth white cardstock then started matting and assembling the layers.  I used Perfect Layers Rulers to trim the three layers under the honeycomb patterned paper, adhering all in place with liquid adhesive.  I adhered the matted image panel in place, topped it with the hello sentiment and finished off the card with black enamel dots.

NOW it's YOUR turn!

I hope that I have inspired you to get creative

For The Ladies . . .

It's time for another challenge with us at the

This month we are letting our creative juices flow with
Crafty Gals Corner Challenges are monthly.

Today I have used the Unicorn Maiden digital stamp from MoonFlower Digistamps, our generous sponsor this month, to make a tall A5 birthday card.

I opened the image in Silhouette Studio and sized it to 5" high then sized a frame (cut file details & link below) to fit neatly around the image.  I printed the image panel on X-Press It blending card, heat set, cut with my Cameo, coloured with Copic markers and went around the edges with a black marker.  I cut the frame from black cardstock and adhered it to the image panel.  The A5 top folding card base was matted with pretty patterned paper (sorry, it's a discontinued design from my stash) then I adhered a contrasting strip and the framed image panel in place.  The sentiment is a die cut.  I coloured some X-Press It blending card with the R83 Copic marker (to match the dress), die cut the sentiment, adhered to a panel of white cardstock, matted it with black cardstock (4 3/8" x 1") and adhered in place.  I confess, this was my second try, as the letters looked wonky the first time.  To make it "Tracy-proof", I die cut the sentiment from a panel 3/4" x 4 1/8" (the same size as sentiment panel for the card), stuck a strip of Washi Tape across the front of the "negative" die cut, turned it over and placed each letter in their original place, with the tape gently holding them in position.  I applied liquid adhesive to the back of each one.  I flipped it all over then aligned it with the sentiment panel, carefully peeled off the tape and "negative", leaving a perfect aligned sentiment.  The card was finished off with two clusters of black pearls.

MORE Hearty Birthday Greetings

It's time for another challenge with us at the

This month we are letting our creative juices flow with
Crafty Gals Corner Challenges are monthly.
Each crafter may only submit 3 projects per challenge.

~~~*~~~*~~~

The sponsors for this challenge are:

Colour of Love
Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images


Prize ~ 3 Digital Images


Stamper's Delights
Prize ~ 3 Single Digital Images

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Rory Heart You digital stamp from Colour Of Love,
one of our generous sponsors this month, to make some fancy fold birthday cards.
The image has lots of hearts and I have added lots of heart-shaped balloons,
perfect for our new challenge theme.


I made two of these hearty gatefold cards,
this post is to focus on the one with the red base.



 You can read all about the red card HERE or by clicking on the photo below.



~~~*~~~*~~~

I printed the image panels on X-Press It blending card, heat set,
trimmed to size (4" x 5 1/4") and coloured with Copic markers.



I originally planned to make these cards with my Silhouette Cameo but that was not to be, so I printed the balloon string and sentiment panels then trimmed them with my trusty craft knife on my beloved self healing cutting mat.  I matted each panel with black cardstock and trimmed to 1/16" borders with a Perfect Layers Ruler.  I die cut a bundle of balloons (details of the Paper Smooches dies linked below) from X-Press It blending card and coloured them with Copic markers to match the image panels.  I measured the cardstock to make the card bases, scoring the folds on my scoreboard.  I used liquid adhesive to secure all the layers in place.  The panel for the card bases is 5 5/8" x 9", scored at 2 1/4" and 6 3/4".

These gatefold cards have balloons decorating the panels, inside and out.
There is a sentiment panel on the back of each card too.

*** WARNING ***
lots of photos ahead, these cards make me happy
