Find It

Hi Everyone!

Happy Friday to you all

Hope you all had a really

good week and managed

all the goals you set 

yourself.  

Make yourself a cheery

cuppa, put your feet up

and join Craftyfield as

she tells us how she

found it!!

 "I like to make lots of different cards 

for Christmas but, over the years, 

I have found that keeping to one design 

is better so I remember what I have done 

before and don't send the same design twice! 

This year, for the adults, I'm keeping it simple 

and using a single die, a beautifully

 scripted sentiment by Find It Trading.

 I made a 4"x4" base card and 

cut a green mat to 3.5"x3.5".

The topper is 3"x3" and I

 die-cut the sentiment centrally.

To make the die-cut pop, I then die-cut

 2 additional sentiments from the green card. 

At this point, I was going to use foam pads

 to raise the motif up but as the die is so very 

detailed this wasn't possible. 

Easy peasy I used fun foam, 

which I die-cut instead.

 

I glued the layers together and used a

 green alcohol pen to get the fun foam 

(originally white) to blend in.

So there you have it, not complicated

 and suitable for mass making, 

although admittedly sticking the

 4 sentiments together does take

 a bit of time as it is fiddly work.

I will be making some red ones and

 some gold ones too, staying with

 the traditional Chritsmas colours but 

it would work beautifully with Mirri board

 or glitter cardstock too.

 In fact, I have my eye on the non 

shedding glitter card from Art-C now

 stocked at the Craft Barn. 

All the glitter none of the mess, bliss..."

Thank you Craftyfield, that is

such a simple design and so

effective too

When it comes to mass production

of greeting cards, it can be done

simply or highly complicated

You choose what works best for you

'Till tomorrow
