Peacock Swirls

Something a little bit different for me today - and no pink!  Making this card enabled me to meet two challenges I had set myself this week 1) if I buy a particular type of craft item, for example a rubber stamp, then I can't buy a new one until I've used the last one I bought - so here I've used the peacock swirl die which dropped through the letter box a couple of days ago and 2) to make cards in colours other than pink!  I realised that in all my stack of Core'Dinations card that the colours I am always using are the pinks and purples - so time to use up some of the others!

I am adding this card to the following:
Make It Monday - Linky Party #146
Through The Craftroom Door - Anything Goes

Materials Used:

How about you?


And don't forget you can join in the celebrations by entering the 10th Lacy Sunshine challenge, the theme is Anything Goes and will run from 9th - 22nd June.

Kraftyhands Father's Day Card Tutorial

Hello Crafters!  Today I would like to share with you how I made this Father's Day easel card from one of the card sets on the Kraftyhands Vintage Motors CD.

So first of all, here are the materials used:
Kraftyhands - Vintage Motors CD
Joanna Sheen - gentle gloss photo paper
Core'Dinations - brown card
Craftwork Cards - white 15.5 cm square card blank, white A4 card
Pinflair - dimensional glue gel
Other - double sided tape, scissors, guillotine, tweezers, scoring board and scoring tool

Step 1
Print out 2 corresponding easel card sheets using glossy photo paper

Step 2
Take the square card blank and score across the front at 7.5cm to make the base for the easel

Step 3
Cut out the easel card insert, topper base and topper - I used a guillotine, but you could just as easily use a ruler and craft knife.
Cut three squares of brown card - two 14.5cm x 14.5cm and one 12.5cm x 12.5cm
Cut one square of white card - 15cm x 15cm

Step 4
Cut out the Father's Day sentiment, sentiment backer and photo corners using scissors

Step 5
Layer the card as shown using double sided tape
- Topper base onto brown card, layered onto white card
- Topper onto brown card
- Easel card insert onto brown card, then stick onto the inside of the card blank

Step 6
Place double sided tape onto the back of the topper base, making sure that the tape is lower than the card fold

Step 7
Stick the topper base onto the front of the easel card

Step 8
Layer the sentiment with dimensional glue, and stick onto the card insert using more dimensional glue
Place the topper onto the topper base using dimensional glue and leave to dry

And here you have the completed card!
