Another colouring session...

I've been signed off work with a slipped disc. Painful, super painful. So while I'm doped up to the eyeballs on painkillers and propped up in the armchair I thought I would colour in a load more digis. 

I have about 28 waiting with their coordinating papers all ready to be made into cards now!! The good thing about matching them with papers before colouring is that once you're done with the image all you have to do is sort the layout! Making the card is super quick!!! Here's what I knocked up in the hour I could face sitting at my desk:

A cute new home card!

A vintage wedding card

An 'any reason' card. 

A sweet non gender specific baby card.

A sepia celebrate card! (LOVE this digi!!)

Hope you like them!! 

I'm slowly stocking up ready for when we move out... We have sold our house and bought a new build - which isn't built yet. So we have to move in with my inlaws, and my card stuff has to go into storage! So I have to have about 6months worth if cards ready for when we move in with them. Best start on the Xmas cards really!! lol!!!

Double Slider Card

I'm still on my Fun Fold phase!! I came across this card whilst surfing pinterest and youtube - its a card that has 2 hidden panels that slide out - its so cute!!

I used a 12.5cm square pre folded card for this. 
(you can use card stock, it will need to be 25x12.5cm)
crease the card at 8, 16 and 24cm.


take a strip of the plastic bag and wrap it around the 1st panel - you want tip snug but not too tight - this is going to slide the internal panels up and down.

you will only need 1 strip about 1-1.5 inches wide - I have more cut here as I'm planning on making a few!





the internal panels (the sliders) need to be 7.5x12.5 with a piece of 6.5x11.5 mounted on it. 
you will need 2 of these.



 punch a notch out of the center panel - this will make it easier to pull the slider once the card is assembled.


put some double sided tape at the BOTTOM of the plastic bag - I did about 3 cm high. line your 1st slider panel with the white side facing DOWN onto the centre panel. fold the 1st panel over onto the middle panel.


now put some double sided tape onto the TOP of the plastic bag. line the slider panel up on the 3rd panel with the white facing UP. fold the card up to adhere the slider to the plastic bag.


if you unfold it all now it should look like this :


 fold it back up and put some sticky tape on the thin panel that is left over.


 this needs to stick to the white card underneath the slider panel (where my top finger is) sticking it underneath the slider means sure there isn't any interference to the sliding mechanism when you pull it.


because I have made this from a pre folded card I have a crease running down the front of the slider card. (you wont have this is you have used CS) easily sorted - just add some coordinating card!! this also will strengthen the card - added bonus!


add a make to the slider panel where you want to add a brad to secure your ribbon - this makes it easier when you pull it out to see where you need to punch your hole.



now all that's left to do is decorate!!!

2 birthdays and a baby!!

Hello!!!

I vowed that this year I would make a conscious effort to make more cards – a list of birthdays came round for my office and I decided that I would make everyone  I work with a birthday card. That, ontop of family birthday cards should give me at least a couple a month that I need to do!!

 

I am slowly seeing my crafting mojo returning and I am enjoying making cards again. As hubby reminded me, there was a point last year where I had a strop about not being able to get something right, threw my tools down and walked away from my desk. My desk stayed that way for months!! Not like me at all!!! Thank goodness my mojo is coming back!!

 

So I thought I’d share a few cards I have been making recently – Ive had 2 female birthdays and a new baby card to make – and LOVED doing them!!

 




The flower digis were free – I have no idea where from I’m afraid, I just googled ‘free flower digi’ and trawled around to find what I wanted!

 

 

 


The baby elephant digi is from pink petticoat – take a look at the website HERE for some SUPER cute digis images and sentiments!
