Hello, Crafty Peeps!
Color Challenge
"Caffeinated Tones"
You may add neutrals or other spot colors!
Keeping faith with my 2019 self-challenge, I created my first Tent Card. I love it!
This style card is quite easy to construct and is a great way to use up paper scraps. I will say that using a heavyweight acetate will make a sturdier card, particularly if you use heavy card stock.
My stamp and die set included a die for the belly band of the cup. The Java Nice Day Sentiment was a perfect fit!
I am always happy when I can mix and match stamp/die sets and still get a cohesive design.
As you can see, my acetate front is slightly bowed. Next time, I will use heavier acetate sheets.
Creating the background for the card is a great way to reduce your stash! I also learned a new crafting tip. I have a lot of scrap sticker paper and I used it as backing for my background scrap strips, image, and die-cut. I cut a piece of sticker paper slightly larger than my card base. I removed the release paper, adhered my scrap paper strips, and then trimmed the background panel down to the correct size.
Here is a link to the Tutorial I used

ReplyDeleteHi, Chana! Wow, that is the coolest card with the acetate front! Thank you for the link to the tutorial. And excellent tip, too. I am trying to use up all my old Xyron cartridges (HOARD much? I do!) so I use those to get a sticky base for now. I've also made a sticky base with double-sided carpet tape before. Tacky glue as well, but those sheets you use are by far the easiest. But I have to tell you I was shocked - Basic Grey made Life of the Party? I thought I had them all but apparently not! Wow, I must have blinked or gone to the potty and missed that one. Yes, I'm jealous ;-). xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Aimeslee! I am trying to use up my Xyron cartridges as well. I bought 20 of them from a craft site that was going out of business. I have two of the Life of the Party pads and I use them judiciously. I used to buy everything in bulk from Crafty Steals, I think was the name. Sometimes they would have great bundles. I hate that most of the small craft suppliers have been priced out of business! Bad news for us hoarders! :D)

ReplyDeleteI am just amazed at the construction of this design, Chana. I have never worked with acetate on a card. You made it look easy, but I'm still not sure I could do it. All the design elements really pop, especially the lady!
