A Fishy Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

I needed a birthday card for a fisherman, so I used a stenciled background I had previously made along with some cute fish stamps and Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set and coordinating dies.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: I used a purchased A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) blue cardbase. (Note that I made multiples of this basic card with the stenciled front panel and die cut letters.)

Stenciling and Fish: For the card front, I used a 4.25×5.5-inch rectangle of 65 lb. white cardstock and stenciled the lines using Spellbinders’ Dynamic Backgrounds stencil and Spectrum Noir Shimmer inks. The fish stamps are Paper Rose Studio – Fish Family 1 and Fish Family 2. They are colored with glitter brush markers.

Sentiments: The Front sentiment is die cut using the coordinating dies from Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set. The inside sentiments come from Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set as does the envelope’s sentiment.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope.

Dog Gone Cute Birthday Cards

| ullycatdesigns

I needed some birthday cards for dog lovers quickly, so I used Waffle Flower’s Birthday Puppies stamps and stencil sets along with Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set and some patterned paper.

Watch the process video to see how I made these cards.

Cardbase: I cut an 8.5×11 sheet of white 65lb. cardstock in half to create two 5.5×8.5-inch rectangles that I fold in half to make side-fold A2 cardbases.

Sentiments: The front sentiments “Treat yourself today!” and “Woof-Woof (Happy Birthday)” are part of Waffle Flower’s Birthday Puppies stamps. The inside sentiments come from Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope.

A Treemendous Christmas Challenge

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Relatively Thoughtful’s A Treemendous Christmas Challenge which uses the free download Treemendous Christmas images.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: Using my computer I enlarged one tree image to cover a 9.5×4.25-inch rectangle and then copied the image a second time to print the outside cardbase which I cut down to a 8.75×7.50-inch rectangle. I folded that rectangle in half for a side-fold 3.75×8.75-inch cardbase. I printed a second sheet to cover one panel of the card inside.

Sentiments: I used some Spellbinder’s BetterPress banner sentiments that I had printed and die cut previously. “Christmas Greetings” and “Happy New Year”.

Envelope: The card fits into a #10 business size envelope.
