Gate Fold Card

Hello my dear crafty friends.

How are you all doing?
Hoping everything is pretty well with you. It's been almost a month since my last month. As I told in my previous post that I would be busy with my studies so there won't be frequent posts. But finally today took time write this post.

So without talking much let me share another card done by me. It's my first try for this variety. It's a gate fold card. I did it for birthday of a friend of mine. It's pretty simple. You too can try hands on it if you are a newbie. If you would need measurements, just drop a comment below.

So now talking about card, as I told it's pretty simple. All you need is just few die cuts, punched design and few embellishments. And voila! you are done with your card in an hour or two depending on your speed. So lets not waste time and let me show the card.

So here is the front view of the card.

This is the front view with the doors slightly opened.

  

A little close up of the embellishments.

Some top view of the card.

So that's the card. Hope you like it. Do share some love by commenting below. Will be back soon with some other crafty post. (Hint: This time it may be related to quilling. So watch over this space.)

Till then take a very good care of yourself. Stay blessed.

Happy crafting!

Hello everyone..
A very warm greeting.
Hope you all are keeping well.
Ah.! it's been so long since my last post. I was bit busy with my studies, and still I am :( . But no worries will keep posting here, but not quite often due to exams. Anyways today I couldnot resist my temptation and finaly I am here with my new post.
Yes it's another card. Today I have used my new set of dies and stamps that I purchased recently. Hope you like my card.
So here's the sneak peak of it.

For making this card I took an white iris sheet of 270gsm measuring 12" x 6". Scored it at centre(along the longer side). and folded it for my card base. Next I cut out a 6"x 6" patterned paper from Eno greeting's paper collection(PS: sorry there is no name /title for it b ut if want to have a look of it comment down, will share the picture). Adhered it to the base of my card. Then I stamped feathery peacock from Heartfelt Creations, coloured it using my ink pads and sakura medium brush pen. Next I die cut it using the peacock paisley die from same collection and along with it I die cut many leaves using classic leaf die set from Heartfelt creations and coloured them using my daubers. Shaped the leaves using the Deluxe flower shaping tool from HC.

Tadaaa..we are almost done.! Found the centre of the card and adhered the leaves and the peacock. yipee..it's done now.

Hope you enjoyed it as mush as I did. So here is the full card from various angles(lol..I am not that good in photography :D).

So here's the front view of the card.

Good morning folks..!!
Hope you all keeping well.

I am Rishita here to make your sunday a crafty one.Today I am excited to showcase another card created by me. I did this card for taking part in the challenges goin around in the various blogs. Some blogs have strict specifications of the contents to be used. So here I go with the Sizzix, which has so many beautiful, durable dies. They are so user friendly that you can do any type of die cutting from papers to fabrics, from chipboards to leathers and so on. Yes it's true it has endless possibilities. It solely depends on the type of your imagination and creativity.

So without saying much, let me share the sneaks of the card.

 

 Ooopss..!! I forgot to mention, I am going to decribe the process of this card making through various pictures along with their descriptions. So here we go.

1) Flowers
     For the flowers I have used the Tim Holtz's tattered flower die. I have cut around 10 pieces of the flower shown below and then shaped them using my Heartfelt creations deluxe flower shaping kit. You can watch Emma Lou's video on flower shaping techniques.

After shaping it will look somewhat like this. Then you have to make three sets of flowers which will embellish our card. Now to build the flower adhere two layers of the little flowers and on the top will go the bud one. Tadaa! your flower is ready.

2) Die cuts
     To embellish the corners I have used the die cuts from the Heartfelt creations fleur borders and pockets. Here I used only two cut outs to decorate the two opposite corners. For embellishing the flower I have used the few leftover or the scrap pieces to add as flourish.

3) Base of the card and the scored layer
    For the card or the card base I have used a white cs of dimensions 12 7/8" x 10 2/8" and score it halfway along the longest side and folded it. For the score layer I took a white cs of dimensions 9" x 6" . Using my MS-Deluxe scoring tool scored it throughout the length of the cs to give the card a more defined look.

4) Assembling

     To create the card I started assembling all the stuffs mentioned above one by one. Firstly, I took the card base and the scored cs and adhered it above my card base.

Secondly, I adhered the fleur die cut outs on the opposite corners one by one.

Thirdly, it's time for adding the flower. Choose the centre between the space now left blank after adding the fleur borders and adhering the flower along with the flourish.

                

Voila..!! The card is ready now. Hope you liked the card and the flowers too.

Hello everyone..

A warm greetings..

Hope you all doing good.

Today I am feeling so happy sharing my first experience with the die cutting. Yes die cutting..!! Those who are new to die cutting here's a brief introduction of what it is all about.

Die cutting is the process of using a die to shear webs of low-strength materials, such as rubber, fiber, foil, cloth, paper, corrugate, fiberboard, paperboard, plastics, pressure-sensitive adhesive, tapes, foam and metal sheet. Yes you can cut anything but it depends on your cutting machine as well as the die.

There are various cutting machines available in the market .Here's some of them-Sizzix's Big Shot,Big Kick,Big shot plus, Big Pro, Spellbinders  Cuttlebug, Platinum, Tim Holtz's Vagabond, We R Memory Keepers Evolution, etc. You can have an overview of them online as there are many reviews, videos available.

Apart from the die cutting machine you need the dies..they come in a hell lot of varities. I personally like of Heartfelt creations and spellbinders. They have amazing collections of both dies and stamps and coordinating dies for most of the stamps. Apart from them there are dies available from sizzix (you can cut anything out of this die be it paper, leather, fabric anything), altenew, lawn fawn(they are really very cute, especially the stamps) and many more.

So here's my first card that I did using die cutting and some beautiful dies. Have a glimpse of it.

Here in picture below I have smudged the corners of the white card stock with green ink to add some more beauty to the card.

Heartfelt Creations Products used:

HCD1-748 Arianna Blooms Die

HCD1-779 Regal Borders and Pockets Die

Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit

Other Products used:

Studio G-Pigment ink Light Green

Memento's Lady Bug ink pad

Sponge Daubers

Red cardstock and white cardstock

Martha Stewarts Deluxe score and trim board

White glue and yellow coloured flat pearl.

Instructions

To make the card I took a red cardstock measuring 8" x 5 1/2". I scored it on the Martha stewarts deluxe scoring board at 4" marks along the 8" length side and folded it. Then I took a white cardstock measuring 5 1/2" x 4" and die cut one one side of the 5 1/2" side using one of the dies from the Regal Borders and Pockets die set.

I adhered the white cardstock over the red cardstock which is the base of my card using white glue.

To make the flower, I cut out the flower using the Arianna blooms die on the white cardstock. I took the four biggest layers and coloured them using the finger daubers to adhere some ink from the ink pad and then gently smudged it over the petals of the flower.For flower I used Memento's Lady Bug and for the flourish I used Studio G's Pigment ink Light green shade. The flourish here I used is the scrap I got from Regal Borders and Pockets die cut done earlier. I don't have any such thing so I used it as a flourish. I usually collect things that could be useful from the scrap. Then I shaped the flowers using the Deluxe shaping tool and layered them one over the other keeping the smaller one above the bigger one and glued them together and added a small bling(yellow coloured flat pearl). Then I found the best place on card where the flower would look good and adhered it there and added the flourish below the petal. And then finally smudged some of green ink around the borders and corners of the white cardstock to add beauty to it.

Thankyou for stopping by. Hope you like it. Don't forget to leave feedback.
