Double Spiral Circle Pull Card

Hello my crafty friends. Recently I had the pleasure of teaching a private class to a group of wonderful ladies.  For this class, one of the cards made is a double Spiral Circle Pull card. In creating the card, I still wanted to make use of the fab tabs that will keep the card closed until that card is opened.

Here is the front of the card.

I have combined that pull card with the Clock and Gears accessory die. The clock face has been cut using adhesive cork from Canvas Corp. The paper is from Graphic 45

When you pull the left flap open, here is what it looks like....

The solid circle in the Clock and Gears set is a perfect fit for the circle flip of the card. NO MEASURING REQUIRED!!! Love love love that feature of Karen's designs. 

Then when you open the right flap, another message is revealed. 

The sentiment is cut with an ECD die and mounted on the solid circle from the Clock and Gears accessory die.

The ladies had such a blast making this card.

Happy New Year

Hello everyone!  Today is the Lunar New Year and the Chinese Year of the Horse. The horse is part of a 12-year-cycle of animals that make up the Chinese zodiac. These interact with the five elements: wood, metal, fire, water, earth. 2014 is the year of the wood horse, taking over from the year of the water snake.

Here is a card I made using the Pop It Ups Oval Accordion card die to celebrate the occassion. I have also used the Kimono die from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I cut one layer using gold foil paper and the solid image using cardstock covered with double sided adhesive.  After applying the outline, I used Red Silk Microfine glitter. The paper used is the Graphic 45 Birdsong Collection. I have accented the lantern is red/gold glitter dots. 

Here is the card opened up. I made the red envelope using my We R Memory keepers envelope punch board. Red envelopes are gifts presented at social and family gatherings such as weddings or on holidays such as the Chinese New Year. The red color of the envelope symbolizes good luck and is supposed to ward off evil spirits.

Altered Cigar Box

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing with you an altered cigar box that I made for a swap. I had a blast making it. 

Here is the box in its original condition from the cigar shop in my area

Here I have altered some flowed and leaves with my Spectrum Noir markers and Silks Acrylic Glaze

Here is the top of the box in its finished form. The image was a gift from Simply Betty Stamps. I have colored her up with my Spectrum Noir markers

Here is a side view of the box. I did drill a knob into the box for ease of opening it. The fence is a Martha Stewart punch. On the side I did paint the red trim pieces black after removing them. I have re-adhered the trim pieces back onto the project which you can barely see in this picture. 

Here is the easel card open on stop.

I did line the inside of the box with paper to finish it off.
