Funky Card 2

This week on the Woodware blog we are looking at Funky Shaped cards, Jane got us off to a great start yesterday, I am not sure if mine lives up to it!

This is a shape of card that I have been wanting to do for a long time, and hopefully it fits the bill.

First take a sheet of light weight  12 x 12 card, 

score it in the middle and in both directions and then make a cut along one of the score lines to the centre.

Cut off the three marked corners. 6cm, 9cm, and 12cm 

It folds up like this, the gaps can be any size that you want. Tape up the open folded up sides. Because I wanted to make three tags I have made three pockets and the card does not open, but two pockets and an opening card would work fine.

Then I hand cut my 3 tags, here I have used the Just Words stamp May all your Dreams. I have used the Contemporary Tartan Pad, on all of the tags and the front. 

I have stamped with the Wave Crafters Ink and used it for the edging too. 

This is an old stamp of Francoise's Sometimes Clear Magic. The ribbon is the Distressed Cotton.

I love this new house from Francoise Home Collage

I have paper pieced the house with the Tartan pad.

I have deliberately  made the tags different sizes.

The Just a Little Note on the front is also a new Just Words Tiddler.

To a Special Couple

On the Woodware blog this week we are looking at silver wedding celebrations and here is my take on it.

I have used silver mirror card, which is rather difficult to photograph so I would like to start by saying sorry for the bad photography. I have made an easel card as I think that they always seem rather special.

All of the pattern stamping has been done the background stamps from the Stampendous Cling Rubber Regal Bird stamps this is a great stamp set.

I have stamped the small metal heart with the same stamp, I have used black ClearSnap Surfacez Ink on the metal, well I have used Surfacez for all of the stamping.

I have used the Just Words Special Couple stamp for the greeting.

I have used the Mirror Card and some ribbon  white 7mm and silver 15mm organza.

Remember to use some foam pads to raise the card on the base so that it holds the top portion.
