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

The memory Nest DT Challenge

 

This is my entry for the design team call at The Memory Nest http://thememorynest.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/summer-challenge-design-team-call.html

 

 i wanted to document my trip to the Stratford  Butterfly Farm on the edge of the River Avon. I had a lot of photos to show and 1 page wasn't enough so here it is my interpretation of the above sketch.

 I made the flowers by cutting out flowers using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die and inking the petals with Antique Linen distress ink and then inking the edges with the Tea Dye distress ink. I then glued a button into the centre. These buttons are from the Papermania Capsule Collection Spots and Stripes.

The backing paper is from the Papermania Pampered pets range. I like the soft colours and the subtle patterns didn't over power my photos, sometimes they can get lost amongst the busy papers.

 I wanted the butterfly to look like it was flying across the page so i added a swirl to look like a trail had been left.

 I used a chipboard flourish to neaten the edge  of the page and bring it together a bit.
