Bonanza Buddies - Toucan Birthday Card - Video Tutorial

This is the card I needed my Cloud Stencil for :o) Yesterday's post showed you how I created it.

This design has been in my head for a few weeks and I finally got the chance to make it into a card.

It's super simple but I wanted a cloud-filled background - hence the need for a stencil.

I used Versafine Onyx Black ink for all the black stamping and heat embossed it with Clear powder.

The Cloud the Toucan is stood on is outlined with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

This is the inside of the card.

Here is the Video ...

Measurements

Note: If you use A4 as your standard sheet of card – follow the metric measurements (cms).

If you use 8½” x 11” as your standard sheet of card – follow the imperial measurements (inches).

Create Your Own - Cloud Stencils - Video Tutorial

I have had an idea in my head for a card for a few weeks now, but couldn't create it because I didn't have any Cloud stencils - Stampin' Up! do not sell any. I haven't any Cloud dies either - these Stampin' Up! have had in the past but I never bought the sets that contained them and now they are retired.

I know many other brands sell them but I didn't want to feature those in my Stampin' Up! cards :o) So ... It finally occurred to me to create my own!

The above photo shows you the results of my first 'play' - they are just what I needed :o)

Here is a quick Video showing you how I created the Stencils ...

Beautiful Moments - Centre Step Card

Today I am sharing a card created using another image from the Beautiful Moments stamp set. You can find my first card created with this set HERE.

I've had this Centre Step Card Base ready for a while - ever since I created my Video for this type of card and thought it would make a great background for this image. You can find the Video HERE. 

The card is really a Centre Step Easel card. I used some papers from the Best Dressed 6" paper stack. The papers in this stack are gorgeous and I really enjoy working with them - especially the florals.

This is how the card looks when flattened out. It's not difficult to create and in the Video I give you sizes for both A4 and 8 1/2" x 11" users.

Inside there is a large panel where you can write your message.
