Dr Who Card for an 18th Birthday

Hello there!

I have a card today that took me a-g-e-s to make, figuring out all the details etc! But now I have all the measurements I think it would be a breeze to make multiples. Good job I have made a tutorial for you all to make them too! I'll share the card with you today and will be back tomorrow with the full tutorial.

Now, I made this version as a Dr Who card but you could easily "un"- doctor it and just make it a suit by adding a standard tie, a different (plain) bow tie or even turn it into a Black Tie event too. There are so many possibilities with this card by just changing a few details, just keeping the basic structure.

Anyway, I'll stop chatting and share the card with you now shall I? This picture shows how the card will  look on your shelf...

...but here it is held closed, it has a fair size overlap as a jacket would in real life! 

(that's a little magnet at the bottom, holding it closed) 

 The bow tie is Stampin' Up's gift bow bigz die. The paper is retired but I thought it was a perfect pattern for this card. I trimmed the "tails" of the bow so they were the same length as the loops, like a real bow tie would be. There are a couple of fab DSP with great patterns for this bow tie in the recently updated Clearance rack right now, links are at the end of this post but please  remember they are only while stocks last! These lovely Gold buttons are from the Autumn/Winter seasonal.

 A matching paper handkerchief in the front pocket

 the jacket open and with a sonic screwdriver that was a last minute addition ;-)

 Inside I added a sentiment, this one is from Perfect Pennants

 And a side view to finish. 

Bonus! This card fits into a standard C5/A5 envelope too!

So, I have done a tutorial for you on how to make this card and I will be posting this tomorrow for your own use!
**EDITED TO SAY HERE IS THE LINK FOR THE TUTORIAL, ENJOY!**

Thanks as ever for looking today and I hope you liked the card?!

Mini Pizza Box with Kinda Eclectic by Stampin' up!

Helooo,

I know, I promised Dr Who today but I have just not had a chance to edit the photos for that card yet. I will do it very soon though, I promise ;-)

But, I do have a quick and easy little pizza box I made for a friend last week to send her a roll of Seam Binding ribbon in for her birthday (hope you have it already Ge!). Here's hoping then....

Now, I used the Kinda Eclectic stamp set again but just the leaves and butterfly today. Boy, does it look different when stamped onto So Saffron card with matching ink and a pop of Strawberry Slush too, don't ya think??

 This was a very easy box to make but if anyone is interested I can do a quick tutorial (next week ;-))? Let me know...

 Tag make with the Scalloped Tag Topper punch (nice and quick way to make pretty tags) and the (retired) Gift for You stamp. 

Love the Strawberry Slush thick twine too :-)

 Closer view of the tag which was punched with the Bracket Label Punch

 And a side view to finish today showing how I punched a little notch in the front to make opening easier ;-)

OK, short and sweet from me for tonight.

Back soon with more, thanks for looking :-))

Kinda Eclectic by Stampin' Up!

Hello,

Today's post is bit later than usual I'm afraid, sorry about that! No real reason other than I have been spending time with the fam ;-) 

So, today I'm using a stamp set that has quickly become a firm favourite of mine, it's called Kinda Eclectic. It's a really easy set to make quick and effective looking cards with, a perfect stamp set for beginners and experienced crafters alike.

Want to see the card?? I used a Night of Navy and Crisp Cantaloupe colour combo with a bit of Wild Wasbi for the leaves and spots...

 A side view, a little dimension with the butterfly and sequins but mostly a great, flat card, perfect for posting at the standard rate ;-)

 This sweet butterfly is included in the stamp set and is punched out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch.

TOP TIP: I fold the butterfly up, around a pair of fine nosed tweezers (quilling ones are perfect) then I have a flat centre to add the glue along :-)

OK, that's all from me for today, short and sweet but I'm off to list some crafty bits on ebay, I'll share the link later if you're interested?

I will be back with my Dr Who card tomorrow though, as soon as I have fiddled with the photos that is!

Thanks for looking today,

Stampin' Hugs,
