Masculine Light up card!

Hey Crafty Friends,

Welcome back it's been a couple week since I have been able to do a full blog post. Today I'm sharing an masculine light up card. Making cards for men is something out of my comfort zone, however this badger from Crafty Purple Frog makes it easier to create a more masculine card and what better than an interactive light up card for a touch of fun!

Starting with the badger stamped on alcohol marker friendly card, from the same stamp set I took the bow tie and stamped this onto the badger and the cane stamped by his hand. I stamped up the top hat separately to add to him later.

Colour combination: brown grey and dark red triblend

Next up I took a stitched rectangle and cut a back panel from a dark navy blue piece of card. As this is for someone who loves playing poker I wanted to include a card type theme. Printing some digi paper that has the symbols of a pack of cards and took stitched strips of ease to cut strips from each piece of paper and placed these diagonally on my backing panel, snipping off the additional length each side.

Now for the fun bit, the lights! Now this is pretty easy, the name EZ lights say it all really! I previously shared another light up card post here with some instructions or you can find some great tutorials on youtube or directly through the website here.

I find I get a little ahead of myself and forget to take step by step photos along the way, I'll try get better at this! 

I placed my lights behind the bow on the badger and the top of the cane.

Visit my Instagram, link at the end of my post to see a video of it in action!

For the button press I took another piece of patterned paper and cut out one of the card shapes with some Aces on it and glued this on my panel where the button is hidden underneath.

Next up I took 2 stitched oval shape dies and used one that fit the sentiment from the same dark navy blue card as my backing panel and the next size up to line up behind from a red piece of card. It almost looks like poker chips on a side view, maybe? 

I heat embossed the sentiment with WOW embossing powder.

I've used a good depth foam tape to attach the front panel to a card base to allow plenty of room for the light mechanism inside the card.

These lights are so fun and I highly recommend them to add dimension to a card. 


Until next time, happy crafting!

Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to ha...

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you...
