Princess cut files & digis

Hi Guys!

I have something for the little Ladies in your life today, I do hope they will like them. For those of you with a digital cutting machine you have a Princess shaped card along with 4 different dress options and for those of you who don’t I have made digi versions of the princess wearing each dress for you to colour or paper piece :)

My niece loves all things Princess and this is the card I made for her this year. I couldn’t decide which dress to use so I opted for all 4 then I just had to find a way to make it work. I had the paper dolls in mind that I used to have when I was little but remembered that the little tags didn’t always hold very well so I dug around on my craft desk and found some binder rings, got to love those ‘aha’ moments!

Shaped Card: I cut my card base in white, I cut the skin colour layer and added small coloured pieces of paper behind the face spaces then attached it to my card base. I cut the hair pieces in a pale yellow the added some tiny gems to the hair to make a tiara and some more to the neck for a necklace. I picked the strapless dress to be the permanently attached layer and gave it an underwear feel by cutting it in plain card and simply decorated with lace. I punched some holes on the left side of the skirt and added some eyelets making sure to add the eyelets to the front and back separately (using 4 eyelets) else the card won’t open properly. I placed my card base over each dress in turn and marked the holes to ensure the eyelets all lined up.

Pink Dress: I cut the dress layers in some shimmery pink card stock. I created 2 ruffles by stitching along one edge of some narrow pink ribbon and gathering up, I glued them along the neckline of the dress top and tucked them behind to create a neat edge. If you would like to recreate my flip card idea remember to cut a spare dress layer to attach to the back of each dress to hide the ribbon edges and to ensure that the front and back both have the same pattern/shine.

Blue Dress: I cut all of the dress layers (along with an extra of the large layer for the back) in a shimmery blue card stock. I covered the 2 small skirt pieces and the piece by the neck in lace and added some little ribbon bows to the middle of each.

White Dress: I cut all of the dress layers in a shimmery white card stock (plus an extra for the back). I cut the dress shape again in a patterned vellum and attached to the white dress where I knew the top layers would be so the glue wouldn’t show through. I added some ruffled lace under the edges of the skirt layers and attached to the dress. I needed to add some 3d foam pads behind the top pieces as the lace had added some height to the skirt sections.

Here’s how the card looks with all of the dresses added to the rings so that they may be flipped over like a mini album.

Fathers Day Card #3

Good Morning!

I have my third Fathers Day card for you today which is the card I sent to my Dad this year so I couldn’t post it before the day in case he spotted it and although you wouldn’t be able to use the fathers day sentiment ’til next year, all of the other items can be used any time of year :) My Dad has recently ventured into Bee Keeping so I have some bee themed elements for you today. There are 2 bee cut files and a wooden bee hive cut file too and for those of you without a digital cutting machine I created a digi bee scene for you to colour, I also have 2 matching sentiments. There is a cut file for the pop up slider card base, you can find it in my last post here.

I wanted to give the hive a bit of a realistic feel by swiping some darker brown ink over my hive pieces to give a wood effect and lifted the bottom of each slat with 3d foam pads to add dimension. I mounted my little bees onto strips of acetate then attached to the back of the hive so they appear to flutter in mid air and the iridescent vellum I used for the wings looks really effective when they catch the light.

Fathers day card #2

Hiyah!

Oh Yes, 2 posts in as many days! I have another Fathers day card for you today, the Father-y bit is the waistcoat but I also have the card itself as a file for you too ‘cos I’m good like that ;) You can use today’s waistcoat in conjunction with yesterdays ties if you’d like and if you cut it in different patterns or colours of paper you could get very different looks for different people. I can just see this waistcoat cut in a pinstripe paper for a suit waistcoat look or in a green tweed for a more country-fied look, I however went for a leather effect for a biker in the family who wears one.

To put the card together I folded along the score lines on the top panel then stuck the very bottom of the tag shaped slider to the inside of the lowest scored section ensuring that the tag over hangs on both sides equally. The top and bottom panels can now be stuck together with thin tape giving the tag slider plenty of room to slide in and out. All the card needs at this point is a pop-up piece, I haven’t included one in the file so you can choose your own size to match your focal point or you may choose to use a spellbinders label etc, just remember to only attach it to the middle scored section.

Here’s a close up look at the effect I gave my waistcoat, I wanted an aged leather look so I cut the pieces in black card then covered in Versamark and sprinkled on some clear embossing powder. I blasted it with a heat gun but made sure to stop while it was still a bit pitted instead of continuing to heat until smooth as I wanted the uneven texture. Once cool, I roughed up the surfaces with an emery board to remove some of the shine and add to the aged look then pricked some holes around the edges of the shoulder pieces and the pockets to give a stitched feel. I added some brads to look like metal buttons/poppers and it was done.
