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!

 

In from the cold

Hi blog fans!

Today I have a card I made with

"Shelf" (#33203) from Biblical Impressions

I colored the "Shelf" image with FlexMarkers and cut it with a Spellbinders die and the Cuttlebug.

I inked the edges with Distress Ink (Worn Lipstick)

For the card base, I cut 2 of the same size shapes

with the Spellbinders dies,

the back one I scored about 3/4" from the end.

I adhered the 2 white pieces together

at the top with ATG tape above the score line.

 Folding back the card on the score line allows it to open clean and easy.

 

Biblical Impressions

has lots of really lovely images

that come in unmounted red rubber. 

Stop in and see what they have to offer.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

One color card

Hello blog friends!

I hope your weekend is going well.

Mine is so far, beautiful weather, not too hot, not too cool.

And tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful too.

I hope you are enjoying the beginning of summer!

Today I have a card that I made for a challenge on one of my favorite blogs,

Going Buggy.

Each month Enfys posts a challenge, now I'm not good about doing challenges, but I have participated in a couple of hers.

This month the challenge was to make a card using one color.

For my card I used 4 different stamps

"Heart Background" (#57901)

"Baroque Background" (#57701)

"Celtic Background" (#31601)

from Eureka! Stamps

"Happy Birthday" (#36314)

from Biblical Impressions

I stamped all 3 background images onto

kraft cardstock with Versamark ink.

I used the Cuttlebug and Spellbinders dies to cut the outer 2 pieces.

I scored them with my Score Buddy and attached them to the inside panel that I had trimmed down with my paper trimmer.

Then adhered it to a piece of white cardstock.

I stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment onto separate pieces of cardstock and trimmed them into banner shapes and adhered them inside the card.

To close the card I punched 2 hearts from the left over pieces stamped with the Heart Background, glued them to white cardstock and fussy cut them. I used foam tape to adhere them to the card.  On the right side I first glued down the floss with Glossy Accents, before adding the heart over it. 

I'm pleased with the way this card turned out.  I wasn't too sure about it when I started out with all the brown, but I think it turned out very cute.  I might just send it to my Aunt Marilyn for her birthday in September as her favorite color is brown.  I think she'll love it!
