Baby tag card.


Good afternoon everyone,  welcome to Sharica new follower, thank you for joining my blog..
thank you everyone for the comments you keep leaving, really appreciate  you taking the time to leave  them.

Beautiful sunny day here today, hope you are having the same..

Oyster stamps DT card..using "Little B"  cutting dies and memory box.. will list what I used at the end of the post, all the collections of little B  are  here 

Started with one A4 card.  Using Martha Stewart board...scored long length  @  3"3/4..  3.7/8..    7.5/8.. 7"3/4..  this makes small channels.for added thickness inside your tag card....when folded I trim excess card of the right hand side...first pocket you fold in..(rather than cut my card to size first)...
next score 6" for the fold for the pockets..I folded all score lines . channels and ends used fine line of wet (PVA) glue.. hope this makes sense to you all..


shading around the stork is Aqua..sorry looks grey!!!!!


this is the first fold (excess) trimmed.. this looks more the Aqua colour.


inside the tag card..If it had been a commission keepsake, I would have printed or stamped FIRST for photo..smile..etc..
this style  would make a few keepsakes not just baby themed..

Good morning, crafty friends, followers and visitors.

Horrible day here, very heavy rain, mind it`s  not cold..suppose that's one thing..

DT card for ..http://www.oysterstamps.co.uk/index.html 

I think this quick make card is ideal for a MAN`S  (or lady golfers)...fathers day.. birthday..retirement.. other occasions...

I began by cutting the "Golf club landscape" 3 times in green card .. these were distressed with green ink.
top layer  I used foam tape to add dimension.
these little golf carts sit so well with the landscape.
Dad sentiment is "memory box"  classic uppercase alphabet font.
coloured the top section, to make cloud shapes with "tumbled glass" distress ink.



classic ribbons, I stamped with Justrite "You are the best" sentiment stamps...outline tree border to the right. added a few flying bird shapes..also added a few mini gears...

One of my favourite flowers are poppies, so had to play with these poppy dies..

also decided to add a few drops of crystal lacquer into the layers..this has made them rock hard, so they will not crush..will do this again..brill stuff I have had for years and not used.. added  Plush bow & classic ribbon with a sentiment ..butterfly Effera wings & Rhone wings..

The soft green spray is done with a stencil, I inked through with distress bundled sage, embossing paste..then glamour dust.. on the main card I just inked through.
