Anything but a card

Image
My sister asked me to do her a voucher for her step son and his family I have done all sorted but decided this time on something they could keep as well. I ordered some fairy lights attached to cork from ebay and my sister saved me one of her gin bottles. This one had orange bands in the glass so I used orange vinyl to match I used a SVG of the animals in a row and then used the Walt Font for the text. This was all done in the Brother Canvas software. This was then sent to my Scan and Cut and cut out. I have then weeded all the bits I did not want to transfer to the bottle out. Then using transfer paper I transferred the vinyl to the bottle. The cork lights I brought were to small for this bottle and fell straight in!! So I used the original cork cut off the bit that went in the bottle and glued the cork lights to it. Problem solved lol Finally I did the words of the voucher onto a tag and tied it around the bottle neck with orange ribbon. This is f...

Updated Stamp Storage

Image
I decided whilst I am looking after my friends house that I would sort the storage of my stamps out. I had them all stored in plastic DVD boxes and the took up four of the above boxes. Some had got squashed and I didn't find it very easy to see what stamps I had, hence the decision to re-order them. After much looking I saw these storage wallets on Amazon I decided these would work perfectly and fitted in the plastic storage boxes I currently had the DVD cases stored in. These boxes also come from Amazon and are available here I then took some white card and cut it down to 13.5cm x 18.5cm. I then used my Tim Holtz stamping platform to stamp my stamps onto each bit of card just using a black ink pad. Once stamped I then laminated the sheet using an A4 laminator pouch. I then trimmed the laminated sheet and cut down the waste to 13.5cm x 18.5 which became my backing sheet. Finally the stamps were stuck on to the back of the sheet and the backing sheet...

This was a very quick and simple card made this morning. I used a scrap of white card to stick 1cm strips of snippets.

Finally I trimmed it to fit and stuck it on the card.

Hubby's Birthday

For my hubby's birthday I brought him new glasses. I wanted a Card to reflect this and saw one like this on google no thought I could do that! I stamped the glasses and cut them out. Then used word to create the 'age test'. I then put a bit of blue card on my card base and then 'eye test'.  The glasses were mounted onto 3D foam and placed at the top. This is a quick and simple card but I am pleased with how it worked out.

Inksmooching

Image
This was a very new technique for me inksmooshing! After a quick google I worked out you put ink on your mat. Spritz it with a little water. Then use a piece of plastic to move the ink onto the card. My first attempt ended up as a brown mess and was put in the bin. This was my second attempt and I am quite pleased with how it turned out. I then mounted it onto a piece of purple card and onto a card blank. This card is for the following challenges: Challenge up You life ~ Inksmooshing A bit more time to craft  ~ Anything Goes Crafting with Attitude ~ Anything goes    Thanks for looking
