StickerKitten: Alpaca Wishes
Hello! Welcome back! This card was shared over at the StickerKitten blog last week - I'm playing blog catch up this month (because October has been absolutely CRAZY!)
Today I'm sharing a few cards I created from the latest collection box from StickerKitten! Its called Alpaca Wishes and just like the name suggests its got really cute Alpaca's and a soft Christmas Wintery feel to it. It's one of my favourite collections so far!
When I decide to create a set of cards I generally like to pick a technique or idea that can be creatively developed in different ways. These cards all focus around banners and I've included a quick tutorial below.
Supplies List:
Alpaca Wishes Christmas Sequins
Alpaca Wishes Die-Cut Ephemera
Alpaca Wishes Christmas Paper Pack
Alpaca Wishes Photopolymer Stamps (Christmas Alpacas)
Other:
Cardstock
Grey Ink
Sewing Machine
Tape Runner/Glue dots/Multi Medium Matte
Paper Trimmer/Scissors
Silver Twine
Pencil
Card Instructions:
Step 1: Cut seven strips of various patterned paper
(measuring approx.: 2cm x 9cm).
Step 2: Create seven banners.
Using a pencil mark the center of a
strip. Then cut a line from the corner of the paper to the pencil mark. Repeat
this on the other side and for all strips of patterned paper.
Step 3: Adhere banners to card front
leaving room to stamp the sentiments.
(Card front measurements: 10cm x
14.5cm)
Corner punch the top right corner.
Stamp sentiments in dark grey ink as
shown in the photo.
Step 4: Adhere ephemera (scarf and
saddle) using foam tape to the alpaca.
Step 5: Add machine stitched details.
(Optional)
Step 6: Using foam tape adhere the alpaca
to your card front and embellish card with sequins and twine. Adhere card front to
A6 card base.
Here are two more cards I created using banners as an idea within my card layout.
I love all things Llamas and Alpacas - so I absolutely love that this was a Christmas theme for the latest StickerKitten Collection Box.
Hope you enjoyed my tutorial for today!
Happy Crafting!
lovely!!
