3rd, Name is: Red Swirl Card :)



Picture 1: Outside of the "Red Swirl Card"
Picture 2: Inside of the "Red Swirl Card"

this card is probably a 5 1/2 maybe 6 card! good luck :D

Okay! so here's what you need:
~Red Swirl Delight
-black ribbon with white spots, or just regular black ribbon
-black card paper, cut it to a card 5 1/2" by 4" but cut it 8" on the regular 4" width because you have to fold it i n half to make a card :)
-red paper
-Swirl image(here is the link off google:http://www.cooldesignsltd.co.uk/images/home/about-us.jpg)
-circle paper cutter(3/4" and 1") or a stencil with those circle diameter
-double sided tape
-old paper design paper, or a baseball design paper, but get rid of the stiches on the side if there is any.
-red sparkle blue, i use "stickles" (avalible at hobby lobby)

Here we go!
First you will fold your card paper in half to make a "card". Then cut the red paper to fit inside the dementions of the front of the card, so the red would be cut to 5" by 3 1/2".
Then, go to the link for the swirl image on your computer. print out 2 copys of it. cut the 1st swirl image right along the edge, that doesn't mean rigt along the swirl. cut the rectangle around the swirl that was there when you looked at the image on the computer! Do the samme with the other swirl image. then one of the swirl rectangles can fit perfectly in the middle of the red paper. glue it in the center of the red paper then put off to the side. then, go to your leftover black paper and trace a 1" circle with the circle stencil. then cut it out with a regular scissors. then bring your extra swirl paper infront of you and then cut a 3/4" circle out of that with the stencil or the circle cutter. then glue the 3/4" swirl circle in the middle of the black 1" circle. after that, use your sparkle glue or "stickles" to glide along the edge of the black circle to outline the swirl paper, so to say. then put that off to the side to dry.

After, bring out your black ribbon (with or without white dots). cut it so it can wrap it's edges around the side of the card to stay on, then attach to the card with double sided tape.

if your still waiting for our sparkle glitter to dry, then we will start on the inside!
first, cut out your "old paper" or "baseball paper"(without the stiches ofcourse.) cut it to 5" by 3 1/2" then attach to the middle of the card with the doublesided tape. then just fold the rest of your red paper in half, then cut a corner off it! then you'll have two edges, attach to the bottom edges of the card. (see picture for assistance)

then when your circle is done drying, place it in the center of the card, and keep it there with the double sided tape.

also if you want more pizazz :) indent the corners, follow the picture for assistance!

Cha ching!!
hope you liked this card!
Have a fantastic day :)

2nd card! A little harder this time. :)




Picture order:
-1st picture, my "Designed by" stamp with my pointe shoe stamp, with my name
-2nd picture, the inside of the "Cloud Card"
-3rd picture, the front of the "Cloud Card"


Hi again my fellow card makers, hahaha :P
Todays card is a bit more difficult, from 1-10 this card is about a 5!
So, here we go!
~Cloud Card - You will need:
-Dark blue ribbon
-Blue and white paper
-Cloud design paper
-Half-heart scissors
-Sparkle glue, clear
-Light blue marker and Sky blue pencil
-"Birthday Greeting" stamp
-"Happy birthday, how many fingers are you?" stamp
-double-sided tape
Okay, First we will cut the blue paper until it's 1/2 the width and the full length of the card, then the white paper will be cut a 1/2 inch shorter in width then the blue paper, then the cloud paper cut a 1/2 shorter in width then the white paper. Then, on the leftover blue paper, stamp a "birthday greeting" stamp onto it with "Temping Turquise" ink from Stampin' up. then cut it out close to the word, leave a little more space on the right side, because then your going to cut the right edge with the half-heart scissors.

Then do the same to the:
-blue paper
-white paper
-cloud paper

then attach the cloud paper onto the white paper with double-sided tape,
and then attach the white paper to the blue paper, the left ends lined up with each other, look at picture for assistance. Then attach to the left side of the card

then you can start drawing your clouds on the right side of the card.
Basically all you do is squiggle a oval, a couple different sizes, making little spots in the middle to make it kind of 3D looking but not.
Then you can cut the dark blue ribbon, long enough to fold over the edge of the card on both sides then attach to the card with double sided tape, put the tape on the ribbon. Not the paper.
Then you can place your cut out "Birthday GREETINGS" and put it on the left side of the card, with the rest of the cut out paper.

Then color in your drawn clouds with the sky blue/or/light blue pencil.
For extra amazingness, outline your clouds on your Cloud Design Paper with the sparkle glue. (clear)
You can even outline your drawn clouds if you'd like!

Then, your outside is done.
So you can start on the inside once your sparkle glue (clear) is dried.
The inside is really simple, you just draw 2 more clouds, 1 on each corner (see inside card picture for assistance)
Then Stamp your "Happy Birthday, how many fingers are you?" in the middle of the card.
I put a "designed by" stamp on the back with a pointe shoe on top of it(:
As you can see from the 1st image.
But you can write that with a sparkly gel pen or a regular colorful pen or pencil! :)
Hope i tapped into your creative side with my 2nd card ;)

xoxoxo,
Trilly(:
