Make a Monster

In my last post I mentioned I would show you another card with the same layout. 

This one is more suited to a boy!

 

 

• My monster was dressed up using paper piecing, where the image is stamped on DSP and cut out.
• His one eye given dimension using a googly eye from a cheap shop.  Mini Glue dots fix these in place.
• The design is tied together using mini brads for the sentiment and stars.

 

Stamps:  Make a Monster, Itty Bitty Banners

Card:  Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Whisper White

Ink:  Black Stazon

Tools:  Large Star Punch (retired)

Accessories:  Mini Brads

Word Play again

I have been working on restocking my card boxes with some masculine cards and cards for boys.  I think this one would suit either.

Once again I have used some retired items, but incorporated the Wish Big stamp from Word Play and some Mini Brads. 

Crumb Cake is a great background colour for masculine cards.

• This is such a versatile layout and could be used for a variety of cards.  Keep checking in and I will show you another version.
• By layering the DSP onto Pumpkin Pie, it makes the pattern jump out from the Crumb Cake rather than blend in.
• It's easy to line up the brads by using our piercing mats.  And by placing brads into the centre of the stars, the design is co-ordinated.

Stamps:  Word Play
Card:  Crumb Cake, Travel Journal DSP, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green
Ink:  Pumpkin Pie
Tools:  Large Star Punch (retired - why? Why? WHY?), Essentials Paper Piercing Pack
Accessories:  Mini Brads

Hexagons are IN

One of the beautiful new products in the Seasonal Mini is a Haxagon Textured Embossing Folder.

It's a lovely one to run through the Big Shot - the embossing is so clear.

• Run a piece of Whisper White through the Hexagon TEF and cut out one of the hexagons
• This can be used as a template to cut out the shape from DSP
• Snail each hexagon into the spaces on another 'hexagoned' piece.  The results are stunning.  In this card, I have picked out all the Midnight Muse patterns from Print Poetry DSP and trimmed with Midnight Muse ribbon

Word Play and Designer Builder Brads

Can those Designer Builder Brads go masculine?  Sure they can!

Each pack of brads comes with 16 brads and 20 epoxy bubbles.  Don't throw the extras away!  Use them on your cards!

• Using the Itty Bitty circle punch, I punched out a circle to snail to the centre of the star.  The epoxy bubble sticks neatly over the top to complete the accessory and add dimension.
• Have you seen the range of images from Word Play in our main catalogue?  It's a fantastic collection of off beat sayings for any occasion.
• Pull out your retired papers and punches!  This DSP Travel Journal is retired, as is the star punch but both combine to create this bold card.

If you love the images in Word Play, why not add them to your SAB wish list?  Sale-a-Bration lasts until March 22nd.  To view the catalogue, click on the image to the left.  If you wish to place an order, email me at wheatonanna@hotmail.com.

More Pretty Petites

I saw these notecards on Dawn Griffith's blog and thought the design was a little different.

 

 

Instead of the traditional open at the side, this has a little flap over the top that tucks into the sentiment.

 



I used the Print Poetry DSP and co-ordinating colours.

• The card base measures 3" x 7" and is scored at 1" and 4" measuring along the long side, using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool
• The coloured square on the front measures 2 3/4" squared and the rectangle on the flap measures 3/4" x 2 3/4".
• The sentiment is popped up on a dimensional which is stuck towards the bottom half of the back of the punched shape so that the flap can tuck underneath.
• These are super easy to put together!

Stamps:  Pretty Petites
Card:  Whisper White, Print Poetry DSP, Melon Mambo, Marina Mist
Ink:  Melon Mambo, Summer Starfruit, Night of Navy
Tools:  Petite Curly Label Punch (this punch is a SAB item but will also be available for purchase after SAB), Simply Scored Scoring Tool
