Tomorrow we are celebrating a special friend's birthday. I love my extended crafty family and always try to give them something that they will cherish. This is the card that I made for her. There is a tutorial for this available here.Below are the steps for this card. I hope you like it and give it a go yourself.
My fur babies are growing so much every day. They are now able to walk a little and are starting to want to venture the outside world. I just love them so very much. One look into those beautiful round eyes and I'm gone. We will be adding to our Fur Family at the end of January. My daughter is going to get her very own fur baby and we can't wait.
Until next time,
Stay crafty,
XO Tan

The Simple Steps –
1.
Score the 6” x 12” Whisper White piece at 6”
& 9” on the long side. Fold piece in
half and the half again on one side.
2.
Take the 6” x 6” piece of W/W and secure to your
work surface with a small amount of snail on the back.
3.
Tear the copy paper in a curve so that it looks
like a hill.
4.
Secure the lower portion of the hill on the
lower third with washi tape.
5.
Use a section of sponge and blend Soft Sky ink
in a gentle swirling motion.
6.
Remove the lower section of copy paper and place
the other piece over the top of the sky you just created.
7.
Repeat this process using Old Olive ink for the
grassy area.
8.
Stamp grassy areas with the stamp from
Sheltering Tree in Old Olive randomly
throughout the hill.
9.
Gently remove the inked panel and centre on the
Silver Foil panel.
10. Place
the largest Scallop oval die in the centre of the panel. Run through the Big
Shot together.
11. Take
only the inked panel and place the largest oval die and centre it over the
previously cut scallop oval. Cut in the Big Shot.
12. Adhere
the sponged piece to the foil piece.
13. Place
sponged image on top of the folded easel piece.
Using a pencil, trace the aperture. Using the same scalloped oval that
was used on the foil piece, cut out this folded piece.
14. Adhere
the sponged piece to the cut easel piece using Fast Fuse.
15. Take
the scrap pieces of Whisper White and stamp the bicycle parts using Memento
Tuxedo Black.
16. Stamp
the highlights for the bicycle using Soft Sky
17. Stamp
the basket and dog using Sahara Sand
18. Stamp
the apples and any other items you want to include in your card.
19. Put
your bicycle together using Tombow Mono.
Adhere the bicycle using dimensionals in the centre of the card so that
it rests just under the oval aperture.
21. Stamp
a banner from Birthday Banners using Dapper Denim Ink.
22. Stamp
the ‘Happy Birthday’ greeting in Real Red, curving it as needed to fit within
the banner. Attach with Dimensionals.
23. Adhere
the Old Olive piece to the large open square of the easel piece using fast
fuse.
24. Stamp
a greeting onto the bottom half of the Old Olive piece.
25. Place
some stamped and die cut flowers on either side of the stamped greeting.
26. Place
3 gems above the greeting to function as a stopper for the easel.
Enjoy!
