We have another fun card

for you today.  Hazel Harler

is here to stun and amaze 

you with her take on this

theme:

 "Hi everyone, I've a Kinetic Swing Card

 to share with you today.

 I brayered some Fresco Finish paint

 over the inside of my card blank.

Then I stamped some snowflakes with

 a Jofy stamp and metalic glaze.

These are the paints, glaze and 

stamp that I used.

This photo shows the fold lines and cut out 

on the front of the card.

This photo shows the card folded and standing.

 This is the template and measurements

 for the card.

 I decided to colour the front of the card.

I used a mixture of Zinski and Jofy stamps 

to stamp inside the card and onto white card.

 I used felt tips to colour the images.

The snowmen were matted onto blue card 

before attaching it to the front and back 

of the square cut out, I also added some

 small punched snowflakes.

I cut out the baubles and glued them

 inside the card together with the sentiment.

Hallo There!

Lovely day again here

but I suppose it will

get chilly when the sun

goes down.........

We shall just have to

keep ourselves warm

crafting!

Here is Louise Thomson:

"Hi there,

As Christmas approaches I'm sure many

 of us will be preparing gifts to give,

 and when we're not sure what our friends

 and family want, a gift card is a great idea.

Today I'm showing you how to make 

a pop up gift card holder to make 

your gift that little bit more 

personalised.

I started by slicing a strip about 5cm wide

 from a piece of a4 white card.

Setting aside the strip for later,

 I folded the larger piece in half. 

I then measured 4.5cm from the fold,

 scored lightly and folded along the score line. 

 Turning the card over, I repeated on

 the other side. 

this left me with this set up:

Using a gift card as a size guide,

I cut a slit in the centre fold to slot it in.

I painted the outside of the card in

 jade fresco paint and the inside with

 Antarctic paint. 

I used JOFY stamps to decorate 

and painted with white fire paint.

Next I taped the folds to create the 

pop up middle section

I used the JOFY mini snowflakes stamp

 to decorate the inside of the card and

 painted a panel that could be written on.

On a separate piece of card I stamped

 the pile of presents from JOFY set 02

 in charcoal versa ink and embossed

 with clear powder. 

I then painted it using fresco paints.

Having cut this out I added wire to the top

 and stuck in the centre of the pop up.

With the gift card in;

With the strip I cut away at the beginning 

I made a band to hold the card closed;

So that's one Christmas present

 I've got sorted at least! "

Materials;

White card

Jofy Christmas stamp set 02

Jofy mini snowflakes stamp

Fresco paints

Wire

Versa colour charcoal ink

Versa brilliance orchid ink

The shops may do some lovely

Gift card folders but there's

nothing like having one that

has been specially made for

you to make you feel so

good inside.....

Thank you Louise

'Till tomorrow
