Lacey Circle 2

Good Afternoon!

I have the last of my second lace-y set for you today, you can find the border here and the square frame here which both match today’s circle frame.

As with all of my more intricate designs I recommend  lightweight card/heavyweight paper of about 160gsm (approx 60 lbs), I used Xerox Colour Impressions for my lace circle, I cut it at 5.8 inches. I cut a 6 inch circle card from some heavyweight card, I measured the middle area of my lace circle and cut another circle slightly larger then covered both my card and the extra circle with patterned paper. I tied a bow in some Pink Tulip Seam Binding to match my patterned paper then added a pink heart button. I printed my sentiment in brown and sized it to fit inside a spellbinders die using these methods and sat it on top of a joy die cut frame. My last step was to mount all of my layers together with some 3d foam pads to add some dimension.

Pennants 4 & Corrected Hexagons

Good Afternoon!

If you have previously downloaded the Hexagon background 5 and co-ordinating card you may need to delete the files and re-download them, I made a mistake and gave the background and the card the same file name so it looks like whichever one you open first gets overwritten by the second. The files are now correct so if you’d like to pop over to get those files, clicky here :)

And onto today’s freebie, I have a new pennant design for you today, It is a lace-y flower-y pennant and you have a choice of a straight edge or a scallop edge version. They would be great for a garden party or to dress up a little girls bedroom perhaps? I threaded my white seam binding through the corner scallops for my bunting but if you chose the straight edge version I have added some holes so both can be easily cut, threaded with ribbon then hung :)

Digger Christening Card

Hiyah!

I’m posting one of my previous KnK Design Team projects in case you didn’t see it at the time over at the Team KnK blog and also to include the cut file into my archive.

I attended a Christening recently and thought I’d share with you today my inspiration for the card I made and show you how I tackled the acetate window I added to my card.

The child who was getting Christened is a little boy who loves diggers and tractors so I over the moon to find this silver digger money box in the picture below for his gift. I made a cut file of the digger so I could make a matching card, the file is available at the end of this post.

Christening Card 1

I used my Zing to cut the metal parts of the digger in silver mirror card and cut the tyres in black CutMates card to match the money box. I added an acetate window to my card so I used Make the Cut’s mirror function to cut a reverse copy of the digger outline and also it’s bucket as they would both be visible through the window. Here are all of the pieces I cut:

Christening Card 2

I assembled the digger pieces then stuck the 2 bucket pieces together back to back and attached it to the digger with a brad so it is free to move up and down, I like to have moving parts where ever possible especially on children’s cards.

Once the digger is assembled I popped it onto the acetate window with some 3d foam pads:

Christening Card 3

This is how the inside of the card looks, you can see any adhesive or brads you have used on the outside of the acetate:

Christening Card 4

Remember the mirror copy of the digger outline we cut? Well, if you attach it to the inside of the window ensuring to line it up, it covers up all of the tell tale adhesive and brads. The inside of your card now looks just as neat and tidy as it does on the outside:

Christening Card 5

I decorated the rest of my card using Make the Cut and my Zing to create a simple scalloped circle to edge my window and cut some lettering to personalise my card:
