Crafters' Choice/Sweets creative card crew

 Crafters' Choice/Sweets

I'm showing 2 for 1 here in this post, because my card crew didn't meet up till February to start the new year.

January theme is Crafters' Choice so did a over to the side layer card.  At least that is what I'm calling it. It also has miter corner pattern paper layer.  I know a little confusing, but let's see if I can clarify it for you.

stamps used:  Altenew stamp co.

Over to the side layers is pretty obvious.  For the pattern paper I cut two strips about 4 1/2" long and 1"wide.  Did that just to save paper.  First I adhered a strip to the long side of the card, and cut off any over hang.  For the strip that gets adhered to the bottom of the card...I cut an angle off the edge that meets up with the strip already in place. That makes it look like a mitered corner, but it is really a faux miter.

February theme is Sweets so for this card I did an acetate card.

stamps used:  Altenew stamp co.

For this card I cut off a section of the front of the card, then adhered a piece of acetate to the front of the card. 

Hopefully you can see the acetate layer in this pic with the card open flat. To cover the adhesive I adhered a strip of gold cardstock.  Blended some color on the front of the card, and adhered the die cut cupcake overhanging the gold strip a bit.  On the inside of the card I added a piece of marbled pattern paper.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back again soon.

Wizard mini shakers!

Yes, today I am continuing with some more wizard fun!  Today it's mini shaker cards.

stamps used:  Unity stamp co. Something magical stamp set

This is a shaker and a z-fold card all in one ... plus it is mini size!  perfect for these small images.  

measurements: 

base card - 6" x 4 1/4"

strip - 6" x 3/4"

front layers - 2 3/8" x 3 3/4" and 2 1/8" x 3 5/8"

basic instructions:

For a basic z-fold card you fold the base card in half then in half again.  It will be a mountain fold and valley fold.  For this card the strip is folded the same way and this will be taped to card with the long end to the front panel and the short taped to the inside back.  BUT before taping the strip to card you need to create the shaker part of the card.  

Shaker card - die cut or cut out a section.  tape window sheet to back side of card with opening.  add foam tape to the back of the window sheet to form a closed box so when you add the sequins or beads inside it they will not fall out.  Another words the foam mounting tape should all be touching with no spaces.  remove the backing strips of the foam mounting tape and tape the stamped panel directly to the foam mounting tape to secure all the sequins inside the shaker.  That's it for the shaker card section ... you can go to my you-tube channel to see a video how to make a shaker for a visual tutorial.  

Hope you enjoyed seeing all my wizard creations over the last week.  Thank you for visiting come back again soon.
