CARD# HPJ-2015-20: TENT/EASEL CARD WITH DRAWER

Hello guys! Here is something I made by combining two main card techniques—a tent slash easel card. To tell you honestly, it does look pretty but then it is a bit hard to pack since the bottom of the card is attached to the drawer part. It couldn’t be folded forward. If I made everything even then it could probably be fold backwards. Anyway, I still feel good about this card.

Again, if you haven’t seen the Christmas tent cards I made last year where I put a link to a tutorial by Beate Johns of Splitcoaststampers, you can find it here.

As for the drawer, I referred to this very helpful tutorial on Youtube by DigitalDelights. It is easy to follow. I just love how useful it is. I think I stumbled upon it about two years or so ago when I wanted to make a card with something to hold chocolates in. I am so thankful to all those who make the effort to show how things are done. I learn a lot from them. You are all so awesome!

For the front of the card, I decorated it with a couple of paper flowers, crystals and beads. The papers were already pretty as they are so I need not to put more embellishments to it.

This project was just brought about by some random thought. I may try another technique some other time. 

So that was that. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you check out my previous projects as well as my newer ones. Have a wonderful day!

CHALLENGE #9: Use Bleach

CARD# HPJ-2015-09: For You

Hello there! It’s me again. I finally finished challenge #9. After several attempts of stamping on pieces of cardstock using bleach, I was able to get a clear image which I used as the focal point for the card. If you ask me, I don’t feel good on how it turned out. It seems a bit off, but it’s done. I’d better make the next one good. I’m hoping… I am thinking of making a card for one of my favorite idols’ birthday (which is today). We’ll see if I could incorporate the next challenge with the card I am planning to make. Later!

P.S. By the way, for those who do not know what this card base is called, it is an easel card. A tutorial by Beate Johns of Splitcoaststampers can be found here.
