Helmar Adhesives - Making Birthday Cards

It's my turn over at the Helmar blog today.  These cards are being featured along with the process of supplies, instructions and tips to make these cards.  So please go on over to the Helmar blog today.


These two cards were made with the same design in mind.  I slightly altered the second "Happy Birthday" card with size and added more pennants. 

To follow the instructions to make these cards please go to the Helmar card I went through the process for the smaller "Celebrate" card.  For this yellow "Happy Birthday" card I used yellow Bazzill cardstock and changed the color and pattern of the ribbons.

I also changed the Sizzix embossed folder pattern to dots.  I added some patterned paper and made this card 5x7.


I used three Helmar Adhesives.  One of my favorites is the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

I also used the Helmar Scrap Dots to adhere my ribbon bow to my card



Lastly, I used the Helmar Zap Dots 3D white round

Here is the small white "Celebrate" card which I made first



Hope you enjoyed my card making today.  When making cards and you already have all your supplies out, you might as well make several.  It takes just as much effort to make one card than it does to make two or three.  Use the same design for all so as not to reinvent the wheel.  All you need to do is alter your cards with size, color or added embellishments.

Thank you for stopping by ...

Red, White and Blue 4th of July with Art Anthology

Hi, happy 4th of July! My cards are being featured over at Art Anthology today.  I think they turned out so patriotic and puts me in the mood for fireworks and BBQ's at the beach.

My second card is created using an old journal genie and Art Anthology stone effects and sorbet

 

Stay safe, remember your sun block and Happy 4th of July

Musical Pop Up Box Card at Leaky Shed Studio

Hi, today I have a pop up box card featured over at Leaky Shed Studio.

 

 

I was just told about these cards and I think that they are awesome.  If you want to make one go on over to Split Coast Stampers tutorial with Dina. 

 

Most of the cards that I saw were made with stamped images but I thought it would be great to use Leak Shed Studio chipboard!  I wanted to use some musical notes that I had so that was my inspiration for the pop up box Birthday Card.

 



 

Go on over to Leaky Shed Studio to see more photos of my Pop Up Music Box card and also the techniques I used on the Leaky Shed Studio chipboard shapes.

 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by and letting me share my card with you today. 

 

Hope you enjoyed ...

To Spring and New Adventures

This is my last post for Basically Bare after almost 3 years of being on their team.  It has been a good three years.  I was able to make lots of albums (my favorite) and made some friends along the way.

 

 

I decided to make this butterfly card because butterfies signify new beginnings right?  or did I make that up.  Well anyway that is what it means to me.  I first dry embossed the base card, I then placed my black cardstock on the base.  I then decided to stencil my third layer with gesso. 

 

Then the fun part, I start to layer whatever is around me.  I ended up using the Basically Bare canvas leaves and also the cardboard heart on this card.  Then I sprayed and used sorbet from Art Anthology to finish the card.

 

I decided to make a second card ...

 

 

 

For this card I used the Basically Bare "Gears" and also the "Fanciful Frames".  I sprayed more Art Anthology on the felt frame and used my paint brush to flick more spray over the entire card.

 

For more pictures of my cards please go on over to my post on Basically Bare.  They have a new and awesome design team over there so please continue to go on over and see what they create for you.

 

thank you for stopping by ... happy scrapping
