Happy Birthday Stencil Card

Hi Y'all!
Robyn here with a birthday card for almost anyone, and the front panel is also a stencil!
Created this card for a 90+ year young friend! 

Four easy pieces!

What you need to know is this is a lot of cutting.
Be patient.
If you are having difficulty getting a clean cut
  • Slow down the speed
  • Make sure the mat is clean and sticky enough to hold paper firmly
  • Use a clean brayer to firm down the paper before cutting and before removing the panel
  • Shorten the blade depth and make 2 cuts
Adhesive dot sheets make it easy to attach the busy panel

DIY Washi Tape

 



Hello, crafty friends!

I recently saw an easy method to make your own washi tapes. All you need is a motive (printed on paper), water, and masking tape (clear). 

I used several QFD Fonds - there are so many it is really hard to choose.

Print out your text or picture and put masking tape over it.


Then you put it into the water and wait a few minutes to soak.
Okay, first remove the cat from the water :-)



Take the tape out of the water and gently rub off the paper with your fingers. The ink sticks to the tape.



Wait for the tape to try - it becomes sticky again. Now you can use it anywhere you want.

Here are two examples:


Happy creating :-)

KITTY LATERN

 


Meow, fellow crafters!

Here is a simple, easy and fast project. It is simply cut and fold and if you wish decorate.

You can find the digital cutting file here:
KITTY LANTERN

all cut


You can leave it like that or you can add four panels. They come with the cut file. I cut four panels out of transparent paper.

Have a happy week!

HANG OUT WITH YOU STENCIL CARD


 Hello!

My cousin had a little baby girl recently. Adriana came into the world a little earlier than expected, but she is doing fine, growing fast and being just gorgeous. I made this card to welcome her.

I used the following digital file:
HANG OUT WITH YOU STENCIL CARD

I didn´t use the stencil this time, I used the negative cut. 

all cut


I added the name (a simple cut with the machine) to make the card more personal. And of course some rhinestones and some butterflies (taken from the QFD Butterfly Spray).




Have a happy week. Stay safe!

FOR YOU

 

Hello all!

To start off  a scrapbook I am making for my sister I used the 
FOR YOU CHRISTMAS WINTER ENVELOPE.

Suzanne made this design to be used on an envelope, but it fits a scrapbook page just perfectly too.
You need two different colours. 

all cut


Now you can decorate it with whatever your heart desires. 
I used the STAR SPRAY die-cut for decorations. And some rhinestones in the matching colours.


Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

Stars Background Stencil

 


Hello, all!

How have you all been? 
Did you see all the new background stencils Suzanne designed? Here is just one of them: the 
STARS BACKGROUND STENCIL

I used it to make a -so-called- ArtQuadarat. It is like an ATC, just that it is bigger. It measures 10x10 cm. 

the stencil all cut.
I cut it out of transparency paper. 

I used two different shades of blue to create the background.


To add some extras, I enclosed some blue stars. and rhinstones. I love the saying by Emily Dickison about Hope and lucky me Suzanne made it into a stamp :-)

Have a lovely week!
Kora
