Today I have used the Winter Flamingos Set 2 digital stamp set from
Sparkle N Sprinkle (details & link below),
 one of our generous sponsors this week,
to make a card-in-a-box.




I used my Silhouette Studio to plan, size and cut the elements for this card.  I started by opening the cut file for the snowflake card-in-a-box (links below), adding the digital flamingo stamp and sentiment (from the same stamp set), then sizing the digital stamps to fit on to the matting panels of the card.  (Note: this cut file comes with elements to cut from the main panel - I replaced them with the digital image and sentiment.)  I printed the image and sentiment panels then cut with my Silhouette Cameo.  I cut the card panels and some extra, smaller re-sized snowflakes.

As I printed the flamingo image on textured cardstock, I carefully coloured the image with Copic markers.  It doesn't blend as well as blending cardstock but I'm really happy how it turned out.  I scored the folds of the card base, assembled the layers, then adhered them in place with liquid adhesive.  Next came the "bridges" in the middle of the card.  They are a bit fiddly to secure in place but once they're there and the snowflakes added, it is well worth the effort.  I attached some snowflakes to strips of acetate to add some "floating" snowflakes to this fun card.  I die cut some smaller snowflakes and added them to fill the "gaps" and add some dimension.




I confess that my writing on our Christmas cards was pretty ordinary this year,
so I decided to print a sentiment, leaving me with minimal handwriting.



It's a fun fold with lots of dimension that folds flat for mailing.

NOW it's YOUR turn!

I hope that I have inspired you to get creative

. . . if the broom fits . . .

Today I have used the Witch Bunny digital stamp from Sasayaki Glitter,
one of our generous sponsors for
"Challenge #144 - Make It Spooktacular" at the Crafty Gals Corner,
to make a pair of super cute, super spooktacular Halloween cards.


~~~*~~~*~~~

This post is to focus on my "if the broom fits, fly it" card.



I started with the image on my Silhouette Cameo Design Mat, sizing the image along with some circles and scalloped circles to fit on a 5" x 7" card front.  I also combined some fonts to make the sentiments "just a little bit wicked" and "if the broom fits, fly it".  I printed the images on A5 X-Press It blending card, heat set and coloured with Copic markers.  I printed the card front panels with the sentiment on white textured cardstock.  I cut some circles and scalloped circles from black cardstock and used the negative space from the circles to trace the size around the printed images and fussy cut them out, I had a couple of "spare" images, so I fussy cut out the broom heads.  I cut some 12" long, 1/4" and 3/8" strips from textured cardstock to use as accent strips.

I confess that my hand is usually firmly gripping my ruler, so it was very handy to be able to use the scallops to align the accent strips.  I started with the 3/8" orange strip, securing it in place with some Tombow Mono Multi liquid adhesive, then came the 1/4" purple and green strips. I placed the card front on my cutting mat grid then aligned the image panel and strips with the sentiment panel and secured it in place with liquid adhesive, making sure the strips were straight against the grids on my craft mat ... it worked a treat!

Next came the broom heads.  I adhered them in place with liquid adhesive, really like the added dimension and how they extend beyond the circle of the image panels.

Lucky last came the self adhesive black pearls.

More flamingos . . . with a pair of precious eggs

Here is the 2nd card I made for our latest challenge at the Southern Girls.

This fortnight Team Lou have created projects to inspire you for the new challenge



~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Winter Flamingos digital stamp by Sasayaki Glitter, one of our generous sponsors this fortnight, to make a pair of A5 top folding Christmas cards.


Two of our nieces each have a precious daughter and I thought that this trio of flamingos would make a super cute Christmas card for their families of three.  We recently found out that one of the nieces is expecting twins in the New Year, so I added two little eggs, with the little girl looking down at the babies coming soon.

This post is to focus on the card with the
bright diagonal stripes and pair of sparkling eggs.


I started by planning my card on my Silhouette Cameo design mat, sizing the oval and image to fit on an A5 top folding card base.  Then I sized some leaves to embellish it.

The patterned paper on the card base had vertical stripes, so I rotated it before adhering it to the card base.  I trimmed the other three edges off with my craft knife.

I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set and coloured with Copic markers.  I cut the image panel on my craft mat, adhered to some black cardstock then cut the right, top and left sides to 1/8" using my Perfect Layers ruler.  I cut a sentiment panel to the same width as the image panel, adhered it in place then used the Perfect Layers ruler to cut the bottom edge with a 1/8" border.

I die cut the letters to make the sentiment, using release paper to help make them fall easily from the dies ... it really does make a difference.  I adhered the sentiment using liquid adhesive.

I cut a panel of red cardstock to match the darkest stripes, adhering it and the image panel in place with liquid adhesive.

I cut some tropical leaves in two sizes from four different green cardstock sheets with my Cameo, curled for dimension, layering them together to help frame the image.

Lucky last came a pair of eggs.  I had a little egg punch in my stash, so punched a couple, coloured with Copic markers and added a touch of sparkle with a clear Wink Of Stella glitter brush.  Popping the eggs in place with two different height foam dots made the finishing touch to this Christmas card.



Here are a couple more pics,

Winter flamingos for warm Christmas wishes

It's time for another challenge with us at the Southern Girls.

Today I have used the Winter Flamingos digital stamp by Sasayaki Glitter, one of our generous sponsors this fortnight, to make a pair of A5 top folding Christmas cards.


Two of our nieces each have a precious daughter and I thought that this trio of flamingos would make a super cute Christmas card for their families of three.  We recently found out that one of the nieces is expecting twins in the New Year, so I added two little eggs, with the little girl looking down at the babies coming soon.

This post is to focus on the card with the big, bold stripes.


I started by planning my card on my Silhouette Cameo design mat, sizing the oval and image to fit on an A5 top folding card base.  Then I sized some leaves to embellish it.

I adhered the A5 card base to the sheet of patterned paper,
trimming off the edges for a perfect fit.

I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set and coloured with Copic markers.  I cut the oval frame and a backing piece the same size for the image panel with my Cameo.  I have to confess that I fussy cut the image panel as I am having all sorts of trouble getting my Cameo to do print & cut with the X-Press It blending card ... it must be a bit shiny.  I adhered the image panel to the black oval, ensuring that there was nothing sticking out the edges from my fussy cutting, went around the edges with a black marker, then added the top oval frame.

I cut the sentiment banner on my craft mat and added the die cut sentiment.  Turns out my sizing wasn't quite right for the die cut alphas, so I had to put them a bit wonky to fit.  I hope that it makes it look a bit more merry ... still debating on putting a longer strip on top with the sentiment not so squishy.

I cut some tropical leaves in two sizes from four different green cardstock sheets with my Cameo, curled for dimension, layering them together to help frame the image.
