PILOT CARD..

 Hello everyone, 

Just a quick share today, I have a lady who asks me every year to make three cards for her family birthdays  and every year the theme is the same, so it gets harder and harder to come up with idea...this guy is a pilot and fly's for Vietnam Air and just been promoted to captain, so this is what I cam up with , with the help of the free pictures on the internet..

A busy background with two fussy cut planes and a 

captains hat and on the headband a stamped and gold embossed Happy Birthday..

on the inside on the left side, was inside the cockpit and the gauge

was a TH chipboard one, so happy I found that in my stash.

fussy cut these glasses and with very few bad words..

and all the strips of patterned papers from my stash of leftovers..

so there you go, a pilot card flying all the way over the Vietnam....

to a pilot..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

See you soon..

" S " IS FOR STENCIL..DT

 Hello everyone, 

Wednesday is her again and our lovely Imke is hostess over at Little Red Wagon and her theme is " S " for Stencil..fun, so I made a blizzard.

So I need my Arch die set for what I had in mind..

Oh, lord, going to be a long morning..

In fact I needed lots of Christmas die for this..

Cut my panels

red matt and papers..

other side green plaid..

Inked up my trees, my favourite Christmas tree that Chrissyxx sent me

years ago and I still love it.

then I stenciled

over everything and everyone..

Back and front

every panel has different colour papers so the snow looked different

the deer were an after thought and skipped the blizzard

and the post box was wiped off as you couldn't see the mail,

standing proud..

and back to the front..

So that was fun, I love good stencil day..

So do come and join us HERE with you stencil projects

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I'll see you soon..

COFFEE TABLE CARD..

 Hello everyone,

If you remember I mentioned and showed my last card standing up and said the joke would come later?..well, here is the reason why..

I made a panel card, it ends up like a booklet really 

but with all different layers..

I used a darker brown card stock for the panels

and there it is all opened up, all good so far.

Mmm...made a boo boo here and need a new edge along the top,

 see, it tapers off.

so a very thin strip pf white

perfect.

this panel needed a touch up too..

a little punched detail trim

and will have to fix this too..

adding my cat food decorated pouch with a tag.

and an envelope made with 8x8 papers.

this bit of kraft paper was a leftover from something

 and had holes punched in it, but it will work.

so after mucking for hours, and putting it all together..

here it is.

Front cover

second flip to the left...

well, there you go, 

BUT...notice not once did I show a picture of it standing up, 

do you know or see the reason why?

It is front heavy and falls over, bum!

Not that it really matters I suppose as you look at it laying down, but, hence the name

My Coffee table card.( book) journal really..

Thank you so much for stopping by and yes, my pork chops were divine..

NEGATIVE PANEL CARD..

 Hello everyone,

Sunday today, I just got some pork chops out to cook up for myself, it is 8am in the morning and I really want to eat them now!!!

Sharing a card I made recently, and called it a negative panel card, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember why until the pictures popped up and I had an Ohhhh!! moment..

these are the fabulous rustic coloured papers and

great patterns and I made a few panels..

Panels glued in place and a smaller set on top going in opposite direction.

Then a frame I had made with scrap papers went on top.. 

then was added to the smaller panels.

And this is the negative bit..I could not throw this away,

I had cut three circle for my round tags and this was left..

and it was plopped right on there..

sort of on the inside..

and it turned out like this..after adding a butterfly..

open like this..

and this..

the flowers and butterfly was cut from my masterboard..

the arch..

standing up..

there is reason why I'm showing it standing up,

 that joke will come soon..

So, there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you soon..

luv CHRISSYxx
