Card Kit Pictures

We did some cards at our scrapbooking night last month & I've been promising to upload the pictures. Finally, here they are!

I still have some of these card kits available for $30.  The kit makes 2 of each card shown.  If you are interested in a kit, just let me know.

 I used Close to my Heart products for most of the cards I made:

Western Howdy:

•  Stamp sets -Lovely Buckles stamp set for the buckle & belt & blue jeans stamp for the pocket.  

Hints - when you attach your belt & pocket make sure you leave an opening for your little howdy card (or whatever you want to put there) to slip inside.  I just put adhesive around the edges of the pocket & left the top open.

I used plain little brads on the belt & hammered them flat to make the embellishment on the belt.

Baby Cards:

Sorry the green one doesn't show up, I'll try to add another pic later.

Hints:  attach the onesie to the little coat hanger & trim the extra away.  I cut the hanger at a larger size because the hanger kept breaking when it was cut smaller.  Attach the onesie to the circle with pop dots.

Happy Birthday Embossed Card:

• sand the embossed cardstock to reveal the white core, sand as little or as much as you like.
• attach the ribbon to the cardstock before it is attached to the card base to hide the edges of the ribbon.

Split cards:

• I used paper instead of ribbon on these 2 cards, hide edges under the cardstock before attaching to card base.

• The black & white paper is "For Always".  I used ink & a small dauber to color the paper to match the colored cardstock.  You can make it any color you want to! 
• The sentiment is matted in black & added with dimensional adhesive (foam tape, etc.)

Pinwheel:

• I will add a post to go over making this pinwheel, but I wanted to post the pic for those of you who know how to make that part already.

Thank You Butterflies Card:

• The "you" part of this card needs to be trimmed before you add it (this will be pretty obvious when you look at the piece in your kit); the way it is cut on the Cricut isn't the way we need it for this card.  Just use small scissors to trim it.
• I used "Desert Sand" ink & a small dauber to darken the "you" after I trimmed it.  It's totally up to you, I just thought it looked better that way.  I also inked the edges of all the pieces.
• The antennas on the butterflies are so skinny that they don't cut.  Cut a little sliver from the extra paper in your kit & glue it down to match the one that is there.
• Only glue the butterflies in the middle so the wings can lift up slightly.
• I used light sparkles for the body of the butterflied from the brown & tan sparkles assortment.

I think that's all the cards in the kit, if I left any out I will update.

We will be making paper bag mini albums at our next get together.  Let me know if you haven't picked your paper yet or want to join us!!
