How to Make An Amazing Steampunk Shaker Card

hello crafty friends

I have a new card tutorial for you. I used the Industrial Collection by Studio Light which is available at Cherish the Memory.

Cover a square card with the  Industrial Scrapin  Sheet 02 and trim to fit. Apply a stencil mask over the base and paint with copper acrylic paint.

I used a baby wipe stained with blue inks to add the textured layer to the card/ The mixed media topper was created by cutting out a 4 inch rectangle die and using a cog embossing folder over the top. I then pained it all black and dry brushed copper metallic paint over the top.

I finished off by applying black modeling paste to a stencil mask and then dry brushing more copper paint over the top.

I popped out the letters and a few die cut shapes from the Ship Builders Emphenalia sheet. I slotted them behind the shaker box and used the letters to make a sentiment.

To make the shaker card you first need to cut out three large cogs from craft foam. I used a large cog die for this bit..

Take a circle nesting die which is roughly the same size of the cog die and cut out one from patterned paper and one from acetate. 

Glue the first foam cog to the base with strong glue.

Glue the other two pieces together before gluing over the first piece.

Once the base is dry, Fill  it with seed beads.

Glue the acetate over the top.

Finish the shaker box off by gluing a cog cut from patterned paper over the top/

The Robin's Nest Men's Birthday Card Fishing Tutorial

Hi all

Here is a tutorial on how to make this fishing themed card using The Robin's Nest Products. You can find them here http://www.robinsnest-scrap.com/

Here is a list of products i used

Fresh Mowed Grass Dew Drops

Jolly Dew Drops

Getaway Glitter Card stock 

Kiwi Sorbet Glitter Card

Leafy Green Cards

Doillie Die Cuts

Fishing Rub-on 

Cover a 5 x 7 card blank with Getaway Glitter Card Stock. This is double sided card so you can turn it over and used both sides.

Cut a sheet of blue stripy card stock to 3 x 6 inch and adhere to center of card

Cut up a few matching sheets of paper and layer them together

Once you are happy with the layers glue them down using Best Glue Ever. Add 3D foam tape to the back of the longest strip and adhere over the layers. The 3D tape allows for more layers and bits to be added after.

Using the Fishing Rub Ons add a fishing rod down the side of the Kiwi Sherbet card stock.

Take one of  the Leafy Green Card and place 3D foam on to the back and adhere to card.

Add some of the fish onto white card stock and cut out so you can position them onto the card before sticking them down.

Adhere them to the card along with a few drew drops

For the sentiment i used the Fishing Rub Ons and added the sentiment to the center of the dollies

Trimcraft Simply Creative My Guy Cards

Hi all 

I am back with some male theme cards using the new Simply Creative My Guy paper pads.

I used the Vintage Gentle Man dies set for the top hats

I used the DecoArt Incognito stencil by Andy Skinner on the background and added the layers over it.

I think the mint works so well with the grey

Add a layered bow for interest

I used the Fiskars 2 in 1 tag punch to create the tabs.

Group die cuts in threes for effect.

A dad themed Birthday card using Mr Mister

Hi all

just popping in to share a male themed Birthday card i made using the Mr Mister range.

I made this one quickly by using the decoupage kit to make the topper.

I made up the layers by cutting different sizes of paper strips and cutting flag tails at the bottom

i added a tag from the decoupage sheet and some Denim Blue ribbon to finish off the card.
