Zipper card

Hello all.

Today I have a little bit of a different kind of card to show you.

I used

"Ice Skating" (#7902) from

QKR Stampede to make this card

along with the Merry Christmas

which I don't know where it is from.

I colored the penguin with FlexMarkers,

The background is some blue from my stash which is

covered at the bottom with some vellum to create the ice for the penguin to skate on.

I got a new die, which is very cool.

Its a Jillian Vance Design made by Spellbinders.

See that little mountain and valley type line in front of the penguin?

I know it's hard to see in the picture, sorry!

That is a kind of zipper and when you pull the tab that the penguin is

adhered to, it opens and reveals what you have put underneath it.

I didn't want to open this one, the one below is a practice to see about placement under the zipper.

I love this zipper die

 and think I will be using it for all kinds of fun cards

in the future.

Thanks for stopping by today, leave a comment if you will.

Come again soon!

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

 

More Gift Card Holders

Merry Christmas to everyone!

I just found that I had started this post and never put it up on the blog.

So I'm showing you a couple gift card holders that I made and have given to people already.

This first one was for my nephew Joel.  I used "Ice Skating" (#7902) from QKR Stampede.

I stamped Ice Skating onto watercolor paper and colored it with water color crayons. The white card stock was embossed with the snowflake folder and my Cuttlebug.  The 'baker's twine' around the top is some that I made, a very simple process. If you are interested in making your own baker's twine here is a tutorial.

This second gift card holder I used "Joy" (#15703) from QKR Stampede.  I stamped onto red card stock and then used various colors of Stickles to "bling" it up.  Again I used the snowflake embossing folder.

Of course these gift card holders can be adapted for any occasion.

QKR Stampede has many different stamps for all occasions, so pop on over to their shop and check them out.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you had a fabulous Christmas and wish you a happy and healthy 2012!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

 

Ice Skating

Hello bloggers!  Today I have a card I created with an adorable stamp from QKR Stampede called Ice Skating (#7902) I think penguins are just so cute.  Petting a penguin is one of the things on my bucket list and one day I will pet one.  But enough about that, on to the card.

I started with a piece of white card stock and stamped "Ice Skating" with

Black Onyx Versafine ink.  We all know that is my favorite ink to work with. I colored him in with water color pencils, then fussy cut the image. 

The card base is cut  4.25" x 11" and scored at 5.5" and is also white card stock.  I used Faded Jeans Distress Ink to ink around the outside of the front of the card, using a foam pad.

I then used Glossy Accents and spread it over the bottom of the card front to give it the look of ice.  I also used the Glossy Accents on the blades of the skates.

I used foam tape to adhere the penguin to the card front to give it dimension, which, unfortunately, doesn't show in the picture.

The sentiment was printed from my computer before I started the rest of the card. I love using the computer for sentiments that I don't have a stamp for. Easy as can be.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Hope you like my little skater. Stop by the

QKR Stampede store and see what other wonderful stamps they have.  Their images come in unmounted rubber as well as digital, so stop in and take a look.

Leave me a comment, I love to know you've been here and hear what you think.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
