Love/Valentine/Anniversary

The theme for  creative knockouts  this time is for  Love/Valetine's/Anniversary with a image from        Star Stampz  I am using be my valentine  

My Grandson and his partner have been together for five years this month and wondered if I could make him a card, so this is just the image to use and as I like doing shaped cards I decide to make it a double flap card plenty of tutorials out there to follow

I was given a set of Mintay papers called Chocolate Kiss just right for this kind of card I used Red card stock for all the base card and the three papers you can see here

For the top art of the card the hearts are adhered to the flap

For the inside of the card, which is basically another card, the base card is folded in half  I printed a picture on the white card a cupcake on one and some love balloons I then stamped a love sentiment on the card then adhered the white card onto the backing paper then onto the base card 

you can see it all put together in the first image 

 It all folds down flat for postage

The only thing I found with this card is it does not sit up straight, for display, as the top flap is not as long as the base card but I am sure that could be sorted out

Thank you for coming to have a look

                                                           

     

Celebrations

Another New Year has passed my only resolutions is keep on crafting one I know I definitely  can stick to

Our first new year card from Creative Knockouts  is resolutions our sponsor is polkadoodles and the image is mabel with balloons

Christmas for us in New Zealand is in the Summer so it's not really coat season 

So I decided to make this into a Birthday card for one of the granddaughters Birthday, I used one of my new dies, cut one set in purple card and the other in the hearts backing paper, so I will get two card out of this die. 

I then adhered it to white card then onto a purple base card. I coloured the image with copics, my camera is not too good anymore, (shame santa didn't bring me a new one) the skin and hair has been coloured, I  adhered the image with foam, I die cut the sentiment two purple One white adhered them together and slightly offset the white one then adhered them to the card.
