CRAFT Challenge Blog #775

 Hello friends! This week's challenge with CRAFT Challenge Blog has a theme of Spring or Easter. The sponsor is The Paper Shelter. The design i am working with is Adorable Easter Bunny Digital Stamp.

 Supply list is found below. 

Instruction: 

1. Open an egg design in the electronic cutter software. I am using Silhouette Studio with a Cameo.
2. Size the egg to be about the size of the card that you would like. I am using A2 size; 4.25" x 5.5".
3. Duplicate the egg shape. You don't need the stripes, just the egg as it will be the inside/back of the card. Move all shapes off to the side of the on-screen mat.
4. Open the Easter bunny design in the software.  I am using the colored PNG file.
5. Size the bunny to fit the egg including the little butterflies. 
6. Turn on the registration marks for the print & cut feature.
7. Print the page on to cardstock.
8. Cut the design using the cutting machine.
9. Choose the colors of cardstock for the egg and the stripes.
10. Cut all egg pieces out.
11. Score a line 1" from the top of the egg piece that will be the inside of the card. 
    
    
    
12. Add glue above the scored line and attach to front glue. Let dry. This is your card base. 
13.  Assemble the egg and adhere the stripes. 
14. Using ink and a blending brush, add a soft touch of ink on the edges. I did for all 3 colors I used. This just adds some dimension. 
    
15. Adhere the bunny and butterflies to the egg.
16. Embellish with sequins or gems.

Enjoy! I would love to see your version of this card. I used papers I had on hand.

CRAFT Challenge Blog #760

 Hi friends! This week's CRAFT Challenge Blog theme is Christmas. The sponsor is: The Cutting Cafe and the design I am working with is called: Snowman Family Shaped Card. 

 For this card, I cut all pieces out with white cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo. I then colored them using acrylic paint markers, white Gelly Roll pen, and some distressed ink for shading.

Hippie Van Shaped Card using Sparkleberry Ink paper

 Hi friends!

Today I have made this very fun hippie van shaped card. The card itself is from the Silhouette Design Store and is Design #447401. All links and supply lists are at the end of the blog entry. 

I brought the design into Silhouette Studio.

Now, you can see this design comes with a rainbow and flowers design. I think it's really cute but I want to use and highlight the pattern by Sparkleberry Ink instead. 

I separate all the pieces on screen.

I delete those flowers and rainbows pieces. 

Not shown, but I actually cut out additional peace signs. I cut two at the size they are and then a third one that I made bigger.

I want the red piece to be cut in the Sparkleberry Ink paper and I opted to cut the white pieces out in silver glitter paper. I use 100lb paper for the card base but the others are fine with 80lb. I just want the card base to be a little heftier.

Before assembly, I decide to color the bumpers and wheel wells with gray ink. I didn't want them to be blaring white. 

I also paint the sky through the window and a tiny bit above the van with light blue. Blaring white doesn't make sense there either. 

I used purple sticky note to be a mask so I don't get ink where I don't want it. 

I used a stencil and the same blue ink to add some cloud texture to the sky for some interest. 

Now assemble and glue. The two tiny peace signs went on the hub caps and the bigger one on the sign of the van.
