StickerKitten | Waterfall Birthday Card

I've found this fun card I made a few years back but never shared on my blog.

The main ingredients are the Farmyard Ephemera and Pretty Stitches Patterned Papers from StickerKitten.

I started off with the packet of ephemera, one waterfall mechanism, 3 squares of patterned paper, 3 squares of white card (about 12mm smaller than the patterned paper squares) and a card blank. I added in a piece of patterned paper the size of the card front and a slightly smaller panel of white card later on as I felt it added a much-needed splash of colour to the design.

I added a touch of ink bending to my white squares before adhering ephemera and sentiments in little scenes. The first scene – the one that will be positioned on the front can use dimensional adhesive but the second and third scenes are best kept as flat as possible. I had a rummage through my stamp collection to find an alpha stamp set to add “it’s your birthday” to the second scene.

Then it was just a matter of assembly… mounting the scenes on to the patterned paper squares and then on to the mechanism; adding the patterned paper panel to the card blank, then the white card panel followed by the mechanism

I decided to add a little decoration inside the card too. I adhered a cornstalk along with the cheeky ‘sorry for the corny card!’ Of course, I wasn’t at all sorry – I was very proud to have so many puns on one card!! I also pulled out the Happy Birthday stamp from the Celestial Stamp Set to finish it all of nicely.

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday ! As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off. Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia . Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle. It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead. They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread. (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.) Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!! :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop . If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is Easter bunting! I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart. Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them. I embellished each flag with some beads... I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants. My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread. ...
