Good morning Odd friends, happy to find you here today it’s me, Sadia, writing today, and I’d like to share with you my peek a boo card step by step. I made this for a very special friend, and thougth this was the perfect structure to contai a very special message… let’s start:

First of all you need to cut e pieces of bazzil, I used white to keep it cleen and simple, size 5 1/2″ x 8 1/4″, 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ , 5 1/2″ x 5 3/4″, and make the windows in the first and second pcs, in the same spot. I made the heart with my cameo, but you can use a die, and make them both at the same time, to be sure the hole is in the right position.

Once you made he hole, you can score the paper, put the 5 1/2″ x 8 1/4″ bazzil on the scoring board and score at 2 3/4″, then place the 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ bazzil on the scoring board and score at 4 1/4″ , and fold. Place thelast piece of bazzil on the scoring board and score at 5 1/2″ and fold along the score line.this will be the back of the card as shown in the next picture.

Put the paper in the way I show you in the picture, and adhere the first 2 large parts, as shown in the pic, and for the last add the small one for the back.

Now you can place the colore image, I used Tropical Piper and Gaze digi stamp, and I colored them with copic, you need to place it exactly in the opened spot of the window, but in the middle part of the card. 

Afterward you can place the sentiment, I printed it with a printer and made an off set with the sketch pen of my cameo, and you need to place it in the back, the last layer of the card, in the spot  correspondent to  the window when you open the card, make sure it is the right size to be hidden when you close the card. To make sure it is the right size, I used the hole frame as you can see in the picture.

and that’s that… here is my card, I hope you enjoyed it and it was clear enough…

have you all a great day

Hi everyone!

another inspiration card by me in a simple and clean style!

It was time for the lovely Geeky Gwen digi stamp! trust me I’m in love with all SOG stamp and  and when I need to choose one of them I have so  much difficult! I’d like to color  them all 😀 

I colored the image with copic markers, fussy cut and add it to the background.

The sentiment is a little thanks note in italian.


Hope you like my card !

Have a lovely weekend!

Ciao !!

Hello Oddies! 

 

I am sharing a mix media canvas today using a lot of distress inks and Hula Mae. 

I am a pattern paper girl at heart! It takes the guess work out of trying to find colours that go together, because the pattern papers packs already have a custom colour scheme built in. But I knew for this project I wanted more of a flat colour , and I am a hoarder of pretty rainbows so I do have a ton of distress ink pads in my collection waiting to be used! I took on the challenge to try and use as many distress inks as I could on one project. 

I love bristol smooth cardstock for blending distress inks as it goes on smoothly and doesn’t seem to warp the paper! Using my silhouette I cut out the palm trees, the word aloha at the bottom, and I cut out the sandy beach and sun behind her head. I then used the circle sponge applicators from ranger to add distress inks to each piece! 

I did cheat a little as I wanted to have pineapples on here but did not have a pineapple stamp… I remembered that I had one piece of pattern paper with pinapples that were the perfect size. I fussy cut around them (although struggled as I couldn’t find my cutter bee scissors) to add a small white boarder to match the image. 

Lastly, I felt like it needed a slight bit more pink somewhere on the project. originally I was going to use a flower, but then I found this cute coconut drink in my stamp stash, which went perfectly with the whole feel of the layout! 

I finished it up by adding a bit of shimmer on the words and any pieces of pink to make it stand out if the light catches it. I then added a sawtooth hook to the back of it so that birthday girl can hang it up as a piece of art. 

 

Overall I think this project took me a total of 10 hours (with breaks in between) that may be the longest I have ever spent on a project! I did go out of my comfort zone though and I am truly proud about that! 

 

I hope all my American friends have a wonderful 4th of July! 

 

Lots of hugs,

Patti
