Happy New Year Everyone!
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are ready to face the New Year head on!
I thought let's get all warm with a tropical card to take your mind of the cold weather.
If you got your hands on Craftmania's "Mystery Christmas Bundle" you will have most likely got some of the products I have used for this project.
Step 1
I started with a sheet of Foundations Coconut White Card which I scored in half to make a C5 card base.
Next I chose a background from the Dovecraft 8x8" Finding Paradise Pad, and also a sheet of yellow Maya card. Using my Presscut oblong nesting dies, I cut a mat and layer.
Using a wet glue I adhered to my card base.
Step 2
Taking Jamie Rodgers Square Canvas Die from the Canvas Collection I made a cut in pink Maya card, and using a Bone Folder I scored all the creases.
Using wet glue, I stuck the corners down with the help of Woodware's Mini Pegs to secure whilst drying.
I used one of the topper squares from the same die set and cut a piece from the paper pad ready!
Step 3
Giving my canvas a few minutes to adhere with the glue, I cut my 'reveal panel' with yellow Maya card - measuring 10 x 9cm (scored at 1cm to make it 9x9").
I then cut a panel 8.5" x 8.5" in green card then and stuck this to the tab on the inside.
I cut a mat for the front from the Paper Pad.
Step 4
Stamping time now..... and the matching stamp set to these papers is perfect :-)
For my 'Inside Reveal,' I stamped and then coloured with Nova Fine Metallic Pens and then used a craft knife to cut around them.
Again, I took my wet glue and 2mm Foam Pads to decorate the panel.
Nova's Metallic Markers are just fantastic to give impact to your work.
Here I used a black Fine-liner pen to add stitching detail around the inside.
I added half a velcro fastener to keep the surprise closed.
Using wet glue, add this to the front of the card.
Step 5
Using Ultra Sticky Red Liner Tape, I attached the Canvas to the front of the card.
Now time to get stamping again......
Using the same Stamp Set as earlier, I stamped and coloured a flower and two leaves.
I also stamped out a sentiment and m and layered it.
I used a foam pad on the flower, and then slightly curved my leaves which I then glued underneath the flower.
For a little finishing touch, I added some dew drops to the flower and then using a foam pad, I put the sentiment onto the reveal flap.
This card is easy to make and would be ideal for a baby shower / gender reveal card or just for a secret message for a loved one.
Thanks for joining me and hope you are having relaxing craft time for the start of 2024!!!
Look forward to seeing you on my next blog!
Take care
