Happy Thanksgiving Card with Dies R Us

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun interactive card featuring Lawn Fawn Products.

This is the card I created. The second image shows the hidden Chickie and sub-sentiment.

Let's get started.

I stamped, colored, fussy cut the images. I die cut all the components for the card.

Next, I start assembling the card. I adhered the trees first because I need to die cut the slot for the pull tab through the tree layer. I line up the slot die with the notch at the top of the card and run it through my Crossover II die-cutting machine.

 

Then, it's time to work on the pull tab. I first fold on the scoreline close to the long pull handle. I fold inwards towards the pull handle. Then, I fold on the next scoreline away from the handle.

 

Next, I slip the pull handle through the slot I created on the card panel. I then cover the folded section with adhesive and placed a piece of pattern paper onto it. *Note: I covered the fold section because my image is smaller than the folded section. If your image is the same size or a bit larger than skip this part.

 

Then, I folded on the scorelines of the pull handle holder. * Not sure if that's the real name for this piece but it's what I am calling it for now.

I adhere it to the back of the card panel beneath the pull handle. Making sure the handle is straight. Then, I wrap the handle holder around the handle and adhered the small tab onto the larger one.

 

Then, I adhered the first layer of grass using foam adhesive. Making sure that the pull handle mechanism isn't obstructed. 

 

Next, I trim off the extra of the pull handle. I do this by checking with my image is well covered by the first layer of grass. I then adhered the decorative arrow tab to the top of the pull handle.

 

Then, I adhered the top layer of grass. I gathered all my images and start decorating my card by creating the little Forest Feast.

 

Once, my scene is adhered in place I then add my sentiment to the top left corner of the panel. I just tucked it under my trees to anchor it to the scene. I then adhered the card front panel to a Kraft card base to complete my card.

Happy Fall Card with The Coffee Bean

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a fun Fall card featuring 

a digital stamp from Lemon Fizz aka Rhoda Design Studio for The Coffee Bean Challenge Blog

Thank you Rhoda for being our Sponsor!

The digital stamp is Scarecrow and Crows

This is the card I created.

I kept this pretty simple. I printed the digital Scarecrow and Crows to about 3-3/4" tall. I then colored the image with my Spectrum Noir markers and then I fussy cut the image out.

Next, I die cut the grass from Lawn Fawn Knit Picky Fall pattern paper with a Lawn Fawn Grass Border Die. For my background, I just used light blue 65lb cardstock and I stenciled on some clouds. I used the MFT Mini Cloud Edges stencil with Hero Arts Unicorn Ink.

I cut the front card panel from Kraft cardstock. 

Next, I layered the blue - sky cardstock panel leaving a 1/8" border all around the card. 

Then, I added some foam tape to the back of the Scarecrow and Crows image. 

I then added the grass to the panel with some foam tape. 

Next, I adhered the card front panel onto a heavyweight card base.

I stamped the sentiment on a die-cut label and I used some foam to pop it up. 

For finishing touch I added some Jewels in fall colors.

Halloween ghostly Pumpkin With Xyron

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun 3D Project using Xyron's Creative Station Lite and Xyron Teresa Collins Mega Runner with 1/4" adhesive.

I used the Ghostly Pumpkin cut file from Simply Crafty SVGs for my project today.

Here's my Project. 

I added some Glow in the Dark Ghosts and Bats.

Let's get started!

I am going to break it down into sections. It will be easier to follow this way.

I start by downloading the Ghostly Pumpkin cut file and then uploading it into my Brother Canvas Workspace Software. **(if you have another electronic die cutting machine you can use that. If you don't you can use the PDF as a reference)

I then cut all the pieces I need to create the Ghostly Pumpkin. Then, I get some Distress Oxide Inks to ink the edges of the papers.

I ink the Black pieces with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink and the Purple pieces with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink.

Next, I run the outer panels of the pumpkin, the windows, door ghosts, bats, spiders, and small decorative panels through Xyron's Creative Station Lite. This will make decorating the pumpkin quick and easy.

Pumpkin Base Assembly

The base pieces are numbered 1-8. I put some Mega Runner adhesive on the tabs and start adhering the panels together. Take your time with this it's your foundation. You want to move slow to make sure your pumpkin forms nicely.

 

  

When all the panels are adhered your pumpkin base is done.

The Stem Assembly

Now, the stem is small and can be a bit tricky. but if you take your time you can do it. I added Mega Runner adhesive to all the tabs. 

Next, I adhered the two pieces together. 

The stem will have a tilt to it. Then, I adhered the ends together. 

  

Next, I pushed down on all the small tabs of the top of the stem. I slowly line up the top flap and press in place. Then, I insert the stem into the pumpkin and press the tabs onto the inside of the pumpkin. **(you can decide which way you want your stem to be. Tilt to the left, right or back)

  

 

Outer Panels

I cut the panels apart. The Xyron Creative Station Lite strip is long and I want to work with each panel individually. I gently shape each panel to match the form of the pumpkin base. **(You can emboss your panels using an embossing folder. I chose not too. I chose to ink my edges). 

 

Next, I peel one end of the panel and place it onto the pumpkin base. I then slowly remove the backing of the Xyron Creative Station Lite strip and press the panel into place. The Xyron Creative Station Lite makes this part so easy. No messy glue to worry about just peel and go.

  

Door and Windows

I remove the plastic cover from the door and windows. I gently start placing them onto the pumpkin. Again, the Xyron Creative Station Lite makes this part so easy. No messy glue to worry about just peel and go. I start with the door frame then move onto the windows.

 

I decided I wanted to add a bit of vellum to my windows. You don't have to do this if you prefer not to. I just cut small rectangles of vellum and using the Xyron Teresa Collins Mega Runner with 1/4" adhesive I just ran a bit of the adhesive on the edges of the vellum and press into place. I just did this on the inside of the pumpkin.

  

Decorating the Ghostly Pumpkin

I started with the ornate gate for the door.  I simply used the Xyron Teresa Collins Mega Runner with 1/4" adhesive on the small side of the gate and then pressed the gate into place next to the door. One gate door on either side of the door opening. 

 

Next, I placed the ghosts in the door and window, along with some spiders, bats, and skulls

I cut some glow in the dark ghosts and bats from pattern paper. I thought it would give a fun effect. **(if you can't find this glow in the dark pattern paper. You can always heat emboss your ghost with some glow in the dark embossing powder or use some glow in the dark paint).

  

  

Platform Assembly

I added some Xyron Teresa Collins Mega Runner with 1/4" adhesive. to all the tabs(small triangles) of the platform.  Then, I press the side up onto the tabs. Making sure the tabs are inside. 

 

 

Next, I put some Xyron Teresa Collins Mega Runner with 1/4" adhesive on the edge of the black octagon panel and press it onto the platform to close the base.

  

I flipped the platform over and adhered the purple octagon onto the platform base. Then, I added the pattern paper panels to the platform base edge. Again, quick and easy because of the Xyron Creative Station Lite 

 

 

Sign Assembly

This is a simple one. I added adhesive using Xyron Teresa Collins Mega Runner with 1/4" adhesive on the edge of the backside of the word part of the sign. I press it onto the gray cardstock piece and the sign is ready for some string to hang it.

  

I used a bit of Eyelash yarn for some whimsy. I simply strung the yarn through the top part of the sign and wrapped it around the stem and tied a knot on the back. I added a bit of adhesive on the back of the sign to secure it in place. I also added a bit of Nuvo Glitter Drops in white blizzard for a bit of sparkle.

 

Now, the Ghostly Pumpkin is complete!

With the lights off - showing the glow in the dark ghost and bat
