CARD# HPJ-2016-13: It's A Girl!

Hi! This is the last post I have for today. I have several other projects which I made in the past few weeks, but I was not able to take photos of them before giving them to their recipients. Hmf.

Okay. So this last one is a Joy Fold Card. It is similar to the one I made for Ate Nadia's mom.

By the way, I made this for a colleague who is going to have a baby girl soon. We had a surprise baby shower for her at work and we prepared a little gift for her. I included this card in the package. Heh.

I mentioned that it is similar to the one above, but the color palette is different as well as the edge punch that I used. Here is what I came up with for Ate Maggie's card.

I stamped on a diecut to make the focal point of the card. I added paper flowers, beads and crystals on the front of the card to make it more interesting. I glazed the paper flowers with white metallic acrylic paint afterwards.

I had stamped a sentiment on the inner flap of the card.

I love this card! I think I'm going to make another one for a colleague's birthday this June. Hmn. I'll just make it purple and of course I will use a different edge punch again. Yay! If I am still awake this afternoon, I will make the base so it would be easier to put everything together later on. I might just do that to save time. Anyway, this is the last post for today. I was supposed to update my banner and make some changes to my blog template, but I will do them some other time. Thanks for stopping by! Till the next post!

CARD# PR-2015-13: Joy Fold Happy Birthday

Hello! I haven't accepted any commissions since I started working again (My IG account is still on hiatus.), but a friend had asked me to make something for her mother's birthday. Of course, I would not say no. There were no specifics on the card except for one. It would need to include a photo. I love vintage so a vintage joy fold card is what I set out to make.

You know that I prefer doing special fold cards when there are photos involved. As I was looking through different card folds, I stumbled upon Elizabeth Elton's joy fold card. She has a tutorial on her blog Cardville. It was easy to follow and it really looked gorgeous so I decided to make something similar for Ate Nadia. The only edge punch I had then was Martha Stewart's Arch Lattice. Now that I have three other punchers, I could make prettier cards than the one I made here. 

Anyway, I just followed along the tutorial and came up with this. I used the papers from the Graphic 45 8"x8" paper pad Time To Celebrate Collection.

It was an easy and fast card to make. I didn't think while making it. I just measured, cut and adhered! (and inked of course) I will sure make another one for some of my friends' birthday. Thanks for stopping by! Talk to you again in a bit.
