Card for a Baby Girl

 

 

Morning all today I thought that I would share with you a card that I made for one of my daughters friends who has just had a beautiful baby girl and thought that I would make her a card. Sorry I can't remember the die I used as it was just lose in my stash but the baby I used was from Crafters Companion CD-Rom Beatrix Potter Miss Tiggy Winkle and the wording is from my Cricut Machine and I used Core'dinations cardstock as this is perfect for your Cricut machine. As you can see I have dotted and dashed all the words this comes from when I was on my amazing Cricut Retreat with Mel Heaton. The base of the card is from Craftwork Cards 8 x 8 scallop.

90th Birthday

 

Morning all well I am sorry that this post is a bit late but a couple of weeks ago it was my mother in laws 90th birthday and I must admit that she is amazing for her age. We had a lovely day at my niece's house and for once the sun was shining. All the family as there sons, daughters, grand children and great grand children and it was lovely to be able to catch up with everyone. I am posting a picture of the card I made using spellbinders dies For most of the card I used the cream Centura Pearl from Crafters Companion.

Card for a Baby Girl

Hi all well a few days ago I shared with you a cot that I had made for one of my daughters friends who is having a baby, so today I thought I would also share with you the card that I made to go with it. For this I used the amazing SVG file that Nandia Fytraki shared with us in the 2nd edition of the Crafters Companion magazine Crafters Inspiration and as always her SVG files cut amazingly on the Ecraft machine. To make this make the cot I  used backing papers from Beatrix Potter CD Rom Miss Tiggy Winkle and they are adorable.

Well as it is May its the start of the Crafters Companion Blog Challenge and this month it is Masculine and another chance to win a £30 voucher so that you can treat yourself, but don't forget you must use Crafters Companion products to enter.

Tutorial for Double Tri Fold card using Faerie Poppets

Morning all well its not long now until the launch of the new range from Crafters Companion of Faerie Poppets and Angels Whispers and as promised here is the project for the Double Tri Fold card. I hope that you enjoy making it as much as I did.

 

 

 

Here are the things you will need:

 

 

2  sheets A3 Centura Pearl card stock

2 sheets Centura Pearl A4 card stock

3/4 sheets of Mirri Card

7 sheets of printable backing  paper for backing paper plus

sheets needed for decorating your card

Ultimate Pro and Boxer Board

Craft Knife and ruler

Collall Glue

Scoring Tool

Bone Folder

Trimmer

Double sided tape

ribbon

Faerie Poppets CD Rom

 

Take a piece of your A3 cardstock and cut a piece of card 12 “ x 8”. Using your Ultimate Pro and Boxer Board and with the longest edges of your card top and bottom score a line at 2” and 4” , then turn your card around and do the same again.

 

 

 

 

Now mark 2” in on the first panel and last panel on both edges. Then using your craft knife and ruler and with the shortest edges of your card top and bottom cut between these two lines.

 

 

 

Now using your bone folder score all your score lines and your piece of card should now look like this.

 

Now from your Fairie Poppets CD Rom print off 4 sheets of backing paper and then other 3 sheets of matching backing paper using your printable paper. Now mat and layer your Mirri card and backing papers onto all the panels but leaving the left hand panel on one piece and the right hand panel on the other piece blank.

 

 

 

Now taking your 2 pieces of A4 Centura Peal card cut two pieces 8” x 6” and using your Ultimate Pro and Boxer Board have the shortest edges top and bottom and score end piece at 2”. These will become the front of your card.

 

 

 

Leaving the end 2” panels blank decorate the largest panels.

 

 

To join both of your cards together, butt together the two blank panel and place some double sided tape across the two edges.

 

 

 

Now cut a piece of Mirri card to fit and then add your insert with a verse, the DL insert fits in perfectly.

 

 

 

The panels that you decorated in step 6 can now be attached to the rest of your card. Please glue onto the undecorated panel and place underneath the undecorated panel on your large card . It should now look like this. Repeat the process on the other side.

 

 

 

On the left hand outside panel of your card front place a piece of Double Sided tape in the middle and attach a piece of ribbon. Make sure that the ribbon in long enough to go around the back of the card and tie in a bow.

 

 

 

Now decorate your two front panels. I have used some decoupage and have printed one as normal then gone into my printer setting and printed one as a mirror image this then has the characters facing each other but this is just personal choice.

Today I am going to show a sneak peek from the new Frou Frou range from Crafters Companion and this time its from the Serif CD Rom. This new range is from a lady called Kathleen Francour  and this range is all about Girly,Glitz and glamour with a 1920's parisienne feel and its gorgeous.

My sneak peek is a party box for a little girls party and was so easy to make and as you can personalize the gifts it is such a lovely way to thank everyone to coming to the party. In the box which is made out of Core'dinations cardstock using my Boxer Board and Ultimate Pro, is a mask with the child's name on and also a name place setting. I have made a small box into which I have placed some pens and a small bag with some sweets in. There is also a small notepad and a party invitation, hope you like it.
