Birthday Treats

This card was made for Craft Roulette #215 whose parameters included for Project – Happy Birthday, petting zoo colors, scoop element and tab(s).

This card uses Karen Burniston’s die sets of Big Birthday Charms, Waterfall Card, Sweet Treats Charms, and Word Set 2 – Birthday. The Confection paper collection by Authentique is also a star of this card.

Cardbase: Use a 5.5 x4.25-inch white piece of cardstock and cover front with confetti sprinkles patterned paper. Die cut half round notch from Waterfall Card die set at center bottom of short side of card.

Waterfall: Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page for the Waterfall Card. I cut the mechanism pieces (pull strip and base) from yellow cardstock. The largest square die was used to cut four double-sided patterned paper pages. Assemble waterfall as shown in video.

Food Pop-Ups: Cut and assemble the ice cream cone from the Sweet Treats Charms set. The slice of cake and large candle are made using the Big Birthday Charms set. Cut off the charm loops on both. Cake icing has Glossy Accents clear gel on it. Candle flames have glitter gloss on them.

Cut small strips of patterned cardstock and fold in half and then fold the ends to the center fold to form a pop-up cube to glue into the first two pages. Once these pop-up cubes’ glue has dried, attach the food elements to cubes. The large candle is popped-up with two strips of cardstock behind it.

Sentiments: “Celebrate!” and “Happy Birthday” are from Word Set 2. The balloons and streams are from the Big Birthday Charms set. The quote by Iris Murdoch was in the paper collection. The back of the pull tab was stamped with “Inspired by Craft Roulette. Made by” and signature and CR episode listed.

Envelope: The back flap of the envelope is decorated with leftover strips of patterned paper.

Pop-Up Father’s Day Card

This card was made for Craft Roulette #214 whose parameters included for Project – appreciation, candlelight colors, “Leave it to ….” element and retiform.

Cardbase: My finished card only used two rectangles of 9×3 3/4-inches (scored at 1/4-inch) and 8 3/4×3 3/4-inches. (Skip making the small panel.) After decorating front of tabbed rectangle, glue tab to back of smaller rectangle. Cover the card base in patterned paper.

Dancing Letters Mechanism: (Watch Karen Burniston’s Designer Challenge video for my inspiration for my card.) I did not reverse the Tea and Coffee Pop-Up mechanisms as Karen did. I folded all of my mechanisms as they were designed. My strips of plastic were the equivalent of two of the mechanism arm die glued together. Use glue dots or double-sided tape when attaching items to the plastic.

Sentiments:  The front sentiment was computer generated and printed on copy paper. Then fussy cut into two lines of words. And glued in place.

Envelope: This card would fit into a #10 business envelope.

A Laundry Explosion Box Card for mother’s Day

This card was made for Craft Roulette #213 whose parameters included for hello project, robust colors, workplace element and mixed media. It is intended for young children to give to their mother.

I wanted to use a new Craft Roulette inspired laundry die and stamp set from Trinity Stamps called Loads of Fun.

Box: From a 12 x12-inch square of cardstock, draw lines every 3 7/8-inches on all sides. Draw a 1/4-inch tab on one side flap. Cut as shown on video. On a 6-inch square of cardstock draw lines 1-inch from edge on all sides. Cut lid as shown on video. Assemble as directed on video.

Washing Machine: Cut from glossy white cardstock one washing machine from the laundry die set. Cut the knobs and buttons from black and silver and glue in place. For the box piece the forms the 3D washing machine, cut a piece 8 1/2 x 2-inches. Fold at 3 1/8-inches, 4 1/2-inches and 7 1/2-inches. Cut a piece that will cover the side of the box from glossy white cardstock. Cut another piece of glossy cardstock the width of the top of the washing machine and the length of the top of the box, plus 1/2-inch for the two 1/4-inch tabs. Assemble as shown in video.

Table: Cut a piece of white cardstock 1×6-inches. Score and fold at 1/4-inches, 1 5/8-inches, 3 1/4-inches, and 4 5/8-inches. Glue tab to other end to form cube. Glue onto washer side and floor.  Die-cut, color and assemble laundry soap bottle and box. Using foam squares, attach them to wall atop table.

Basket: Cut four of the laundry basket from the laundry die set in green. Trim off the sides from two of the baskets, fold sides into tabs and glue onto sides of other two basket pieces to form a four-sided box. Cut fabric scraps and form into folded laundry. Glue laundry onto box base and then add glue to inside of basket before placing around folded laundry.

Sentiments: “Loads of Appreciation” and “Thank You” were stamped in black on a white die cut fancy label before being glued onto a box flap. “Happy Mother’s Day” was die cut from a scrap of the blue box cardstock. The “Greetings To My Favorite Domestic Engineer” on the box lid was computer generated.
