November Cards

Sorry guys, I've been busy rushing out orders that I don't even have time to prepare for my exams. . not even to talk about meeting the friends that keeps calling me out now and then. My accomplishment for the month includes. . a baby shower card, 3 birthday cards and 1 general purpose card which I did for my friend as a gift. This time round I'm gonna share a recipe for one of the birthday card order which I have done last month! Enjoy!

1. Remember the day and the moments.

The thing that I love about this part is the completeness and the blending of the cover and the back of the card. The misting just softens the whole layout. Really. . a tailor made card for girls.

2. The Meaning of Birthdays.

This card flew all the way to Switzerland! Thanks to you know who u are! I sincerely hope that your gf love this gift from you!



3. Smile. It's your Birthday!
I'm gonna share with you the scrapalicious recipe for one that looks like the pictures below!




On The Cardstock
Step 1: Choose 2 patterned paper and cut out the size which you want and punch one of the long edge with Doily Lace Edge Punch from Martha Stewards.
Step 2: Ink the white cardstock with Thatched Yellow colour form Versa Magic
Step 3: Ink the edges with Doily lace punch out (I used a vintage pink and a pastel green for each of the papers)
Step 4: Place the pattern papers diagonally with the lace edge facing in and overlap one over the other.
Step 5: For the excess edges, wrap around the inner side of the card and glue down. For the cover, only glue down the sides. Leave the inner part alone as it acts as a pocket.
Step 6: Cut out craft shape and embelish with Thickers, Prima Blings and Flowers.

Pocket Message - Yellow Cardstock
Step 1: With a colour you deem suitable. . cut out a smaller cardstock (that is able to fit into the pocket)
Step 2: Stamp with Flourish stamps, pictures with Shadow Ink
Step 3: Stamp the message with your favourite colours and do an emphasis of words by using a different colour.
Step 4: Go over the stamped images with Glossy accent and allow it to dry. (To speed up the process. . you can put it infront of a fan :P )
Step 5: Spray the cardstock with Gold Glimmer Mist
Step 6: Cut out butterfly images (I used Making Memories pattern paper) and adhere pearls to create the body of the butterfly. Glue 1 butterfly flatdown to the cardstock and the other only the middle is glued to create a 3D effect.

Lastly, put the pocket message into the main card and voila! The card is done!

Thanks for looking!
