Create Pandamonium

-



 Today I want to share with you this card that I recently made using Time for Tea Designs Pandamodium Party...

This is a design that I saw Sam Calcott make and if you would like to try one for yourself then Click here.

I started by taking a piece of patterned paper in this case I used polka dot cardstock from my stash and cut it down to 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch's. Then i flipped it over and marked out 1" and 1 1/2" from both sides top and bottom and joined then up.


Next I rotated the \piece and marked out 1" from both sides and joined these up also.



Now the fun part make a note of the top and then using a sharp blade cut :0 and I have included this next image to try and help visually describe how!




I also followed Sam's tutorial and added to the image where the glue will be added later! Where the cut is, we now need to score a burnish, at 1", 2 1/2" and 4" from the bottom up...

Next I took a piece of white cardstock 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 inch's and using the patterned piece, place on top and with a nice equal border mark out where the cut will leave an opening and then stamp whatever you like into the open space, as you will see from the next image I used one of the sentiments from T4TD Pandamonium Party...


The next step is to take another piece of white cardstock measuring 3 1/4 x 4 5/8 inch's which will create out a pull tab section. This area can also be used to stamp a sentiment which you will see as this is what I have done. Now its time to add this pull tab to the patterned piece. On the 1" tab at the bottom of the cut section use tape or wet glue and then attach the pull tab piece of cardstock making sure to align it centrally. Next its time to adhere this whole piece to the white layer by placing glue on the areas around the cut section as shown in one of the previous images which I hope makes sense?! But of course you can watch Sam's excellent video tutorial which explains the process much better than I do!


The next thing to do is to decide what sort of topper you would like, I chose to go with my nested circles and of course one of the adorable Pandas from T4TD. I used Wilted Violet distress ink to watercolour some of my images and then using the corresponding dies I die cut all my images. My smallest circle has a light blending of Tumbled Glass to appear like sky and the Mowed Lawn to give my Panda some ground to stand on. I felt he would look a little lonely and so I also gave him a friend to keep him company! The final task's are to adhere all of our hard work onto a card blank and for this I've used a 6 x6 inch one and then we need to add some ribbon to our pull tab section by using either a punch or making a small hole with a pokey tool, awl or something similar.

I hope you like my card and feel inspired to try something similar yourself...

Happy Crafting

Today’s make Is a card made using product from several different brands... It has a 6 x 6 white card base which has been matted and layered with Tonic Studios Craft Perfect card stock in Aubergine Purple which I gutted using a large square die. The next layer has been embossed using the Dotty Floral folder from Apple Blossoms All Occasion Collection. I used Spectrum Noir marker PL3 to colour the flowers and added Simply Creative 3mm self adhesive gems to the centres. I next cut out the sentiment strip using Apple Blossom’s Spring Occasions set. The next step was to ink the sentiment which I took from Creative Stamps Easter Chicks and Bunnies set (which is where the bunnies came from also). The cute little bunnies have been coloured with Spectrum Noir markers... Left bunny - MB1 and MB2 Right bunny - RB1 and RB2 Both bunnies have AP1 for the insides of the ears and IG2 blended out with the colourless blender marker and these areas have also been covered with a Wink of Stella ...

 Today's card features Time for Tea Designs products. To start with I took a 6 x 6 inch card blank and then using my nesting square dies, I cut a piece of red glitter cardstock from the Works, to make a layer. I next took another of the square dies and die cut a white layer, which I stenciled with the T4TD Starry Heart 6x6 stencil using Festive Berries Distress Ink and then placed to one side to dry. I then moved onto stamping the owl, branch and sentiment from T4TD Be Owlsome stamp set. I used Memento Tuxedo Black as I wanted to use my Tri Blend Alcohol Markers from Spectrum Noir. I used the following pens: Ice Grey (IG2, IG4 & IG5) Ice Grey Shades (IG8) Earth Brown (EB3 & EB2) Alpine Green ( AG1 & AG3) Dark Red Blend (DR1, DR3 & DR4) Coral Blend (CR3 & CR5) & Magenta Blend (MG2 & MG3). I used the coordinating dies to die cut the owl and the branch and then added some white Gelly roll pen to add highlights and I created a frame around the sentiment with...

 Today's Card features Time for Tea Designs. This is a plain and simple card using the coffee cup stamp along with one of the cute little bears from the Time for Tea Designs Bearing Gifts stamp set. I started out by die cutting a piece of cardstock using a frame from my stash and then after placing the coffee cup stamp onto an acrylic block I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to create a random background. I also stamped another coffee cup and the bear which I  used the coordinating die set to cut out.  My next task was to start to colour these little cups and for this card I decided to use my Spectrum Noir Tri blend alcohol marker Purple blend (PL2, PL3 & PL4) I also used the Ice blue (IB1) and Ice grey (IG2 & IG4) markers on the cups. I coloured the little bear using the Earth Brown blend (EB1, EB2 & EB3) Next I die cut a oval out of white cardstock which I stamped the sentiment on using Flirty Fuchsia ink by Catherine Pooler. I then used a white gel pen to add ...
