This card was made for Craft Roulette #262 whose parameters included a thank you card, 1950s colors, toast(s)/bread(s), and brown paper.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Score and fold in half a8.5x 5.5 rectangle of silver mirror cardstock. From the Trinity Stamps Toaster Card die set, cut the toaster shaped die with its feet just slightly over the fold of the silver folded cardstock to form a toaster shaped card hinged at its feet.
Toaster: Cut one whole toaster from silver and another from gray cardstock. Cut enough of the toaster lever knob to have two knobs that are black on both sides. Glue the knobs to the inside of the toaster card’s left side near the feet. Using 1mm thick foam tape, place tape around the inside of the folded shaped toaster card to form a U shape with the opening is where the slot is. Attach the silver toaster over the foam tape to form a pocket with the slot as its opening. Repeat gluing in knob, adding foam tape and attaching the gray cardstock toaster to the other inside side of the card. Add double-sided tape to the back of some shiny black cardstock or junk mail before cutting out two of the spiraling squiggle from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Karen Burniston Merry Christmas Pop-Up and three of the toaster feet bar from Trinity Stamps Toaster Card die set. Adhere the squiggle stickers to the inside center of the silver toaster and to the back of the card’s toaster. Adhere the feet bar to the silver toasters. The gray cardstock should be without decorations.
Toast Cards: From brown kraft paper, cut two bread shaped cards using the die from the Trinity Stamps Toaster Card die set. Cut two small bread shapes using the smaller die in the set from white. Ink the inside edges and the whole outside of the brown cards with a dark brown ink. Lightly ink the edges of the white pieces. Stamp sentiments onto the front outside of cards and tops of white pieces before gluing the white to the inside of cards.
Sentiments: The toast cards’ sentiments were all stamped in brown ink using the Rubbernecker Thanks Set and Lawn Fawn’s Push Here stamps. The toaster card front has die cut letters cut from black cardstock/shiny junk mail backed with double-sided tape to form stickers. The “TOAST” word shadow was cut from white and adhered to silver mirror card with double-sided tape. All the die-cut sentiment is cut using the Trinity Toaster Card set.
Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope stamped on its flap a piece of bread with a heart using the Lawn Fawn Let’s Toast stamp set.
