Whimsical 2...

Today we are celebrating a neighbours second birthday... so we made a card but I apologise for the terrible photo... I will try and get a better one later if the card survives Miss 2!

Background paper: "Birthday Brights collection" from the Australian Simply Cards Magazine.
Stamp: "Wee love you bunches."  by Whimsy stamps.  Coloured with my Faber Castell Pencils.
Stampin' Up Flower punch for the sunflowers with a 1.7cm circle of Chocolate box Core-dinations for the centre.
Embossing:  Flower centres were embossed using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots and Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Pocketwatches folders.
Silhouette Cameo cuts:  The mat is "Scalloped Label" and the Banner is "Banner 2".
Font: Zapfino with pink glitter sketch pen.
Ink: Memento Rhubarb Stalk Dye ink.  The banner, Mat and Sunflowers are all softened with a daubing of the ink.  The yellow/orange print paper needed a little un-brightening lol.

Hope you liked it... Happy Crafting...

5 Minute Make

5 Minute Make…

Yes really… 5 minutes… which makes it perfect for the in a hurry Oh My Gosh I need a card already moments… Admit it we have all had one of those moments!

Use a Diffuser on your Swiss dots folder through your Cuttlebug (or other embossing machine).  If you don’t have a diffuser click here and make one.  With the Diffuser I made It is the same depth as the B plate for my Cuttlebug so my Sandwich was A, B, Swiss dots folder with cardstock, Diffuser.  (Don’t force anything through your Cuttlebug… they CAN break!)

Ignore the “Embossing only” as it is there so I don’t cut using my newer B plates!

Trim the cardstock you just embossed as this will be your card front.  Use an embossing board/ scoreboard/ embossing tool/ ruler and craft foam (gently) to score a square frame around the un-embossed area.

Use a Spellbinders square and your cuttlebug to cut and emboss a square to fit within the frame you just embossed and then emboss or stamp with a sentiment. 

I used the “Thank You” from the Best Friends Cuttlebug folders.  Then mount with foam squares in the frame and then mount your embossed panel onto your card using double sided and you are DONE.

 

Happy Crafting…

PS No responsibility taken if you break your Cuttlebug or plates doing this ;-)
