DT PROJECT FOR BEE HAPPY CRAFTS: Tent Card

Hello! I made another card. If you have checked my posts from last year, I made a bunch of these last Christmas. I am going to make them again this year as commissioned by a friend.

I just love this card fold. It is really cute when all is done. You can check out a tutorial by Beate Johns at the Splitcoaststampers site. 

I followed Beate's instructions in making the card, but I did not put a sticker or any embellishment on the window like I usually do with tent cards. What I did was to write on a piece of chalkboard stack and attach it on the inside of the card where it could be seen on the window clearly. I just affixed some crystals to add more interest to it. As simple as that, I was able to make one pretty card. Why don't you try it? It is fast and easy to make and they are just so cute when finished.

I hope you check out the next post. Thank you for stopping by!

MATERIALS AND TOOLS USED: Rives Board Paper Tradition, Pink Paisely 6x6 paper pad Merry & Bright, DCWV 12x12 Chalkboard Stack, Faber Castell Color Pencil White, self-adhesive crystals, Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Twenty-Five, Cuttlebug Machine V2

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!
