Shutter Card

I was on a roll today and made quite a few moving parts cards. I hadn't made a shutter card in quite a while and found it fun and the easy compared to the other cards I was attempting in today's  mad crafting session.

I wanted to make a card using the sentiment "Happy Birthday, Gorgeous" from the Beautiful You stamp set.

 

What better way to highlight a sentiment than to make a Shutter Card.

 

 

Tutorials for this type of card are all over the internet and it would be far easier you follow a video tutorial than me try to explain it with photos.

 

I have used the following card stock: Black for the base, camera mechanism and inside panel. Whisper White to matt the front and inside panels before adhering DSP - From the Carried Away DSP in the Sale-a-bration catalogue. Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride and Cucumber Crush for the Botanical Blooms Die cuts.

The "for you" sentiment is from the Blooms & Wishes stamp set.

My daughter is not normally fussed by any of my creations but she loved this one. She played with it for quite a while and even showed a friend on snap chat lol So there you go, this one was popular with the Teens.

Hope I've inspired you to get into your crafty space and create something you love. 

Happy Crafting xx

 

Custom Tee

Look at these cute T Shirts!! They have been made using the Custom Tee Bundle, which is available in the Stamin' Up! 2017 Occasions Catalogue. The really awesome bonus about this Bundle, is it has a coordinating stamp set available as a free item from the Sale-a-bration promotion. For every $90 AUD spent during the promo, you choose a free item from the promo catalogue, BUT only till the end of March. Visit my store for details.

I haven't had a real decent play with this bundle yet but did manage to whip a few cards up as I wanted to see how the little tees looked using stamps from other sets.

I used the Hedgehog and Ladybugs from the Love You Lots Hostess Stamp Set and the Cat and Parrot are from the Pretty Kitty and Bella & Friends stamp sets. I stamped Black Archival ink onto Shimmery white card stock and used aqua painters to colour the animals, then let it dry before colouring the tee shirt backgrounds. Adhered with dimensionals the little tees pop right off the card.

 

I used to work in the retail clothing industry and making these little cuties reminded me of how many tees the staff and I would fold everyday. 

As you can see the options are limitless! And not one of these tees use the stamps from the bundle. I have yet to try those ones out. 

This card uses some DSP from the Sale-a-bration promotion, its called Carried Away and coordinates perfectly with the Up & Away bundle. But thought I would use a smidgen for this card as it required some Peakaboo Peach to match the colour of the ink used to water colour the T Shirt. The little cupcake is from Bella & Friends. The black and white DSP is from the Playful Palette Paper Stack, and I added some black and white Bakers Twine to match.

Using some more of the Carried Away DSP, I layered a quarter of the card front with Mint Macaron and adhered some pink Bakers Twine. The T Shirts have been stamped with the Hedgehog from Love you Lots stamp set and the Cat from Pretty Kitty. I used the Owl Punch to make the little hearts and the cloud die from Up & Away.

This card was made in a couple of minutes as I was using up scraps and die cuts I had sitting around. The flowers are from the Botanicals Builder Framelits, I also used the Layering Circles Framelits and DSP from the Cupcakes & Carousels DSP Paper Stack. The T Shirt was stamped in Black Archival using the Ladybugs from the Love You Lots Hostess stamp set and coloured in using an aqua painter and Daffodil Delight and Real Red inks.
