Rainbow Smiles

This card started out being blended for a different purpose but I loved it so much I decided to make it a card in it's own right 

There is a video on my YouTube Channel Mrs H's Crafty Corner

Card Making Tutorial

A piece of white card was masked across the bottom and blended in picked raspberry, wilted violet and chipped sapphire. Evergreen Bough was then rubbed around the edges

I used the shaker die by Time For Tea Designs to cut the rainbow in green and silver. Double sided tape was adhered to the back if it to hold the panels in place.

The inked panel was adhered onto a A5 Card Base

The smile sentiment was cut in red and un black and then glued so that the black can be seen as a shadow underneath

The rainbow was adhered to the panel with foam squares

And the smile sentiment glued down

Star sequins were added to the inked part

While pink dew drops were added to the white. Along with some clay slice rainbows

The panel was then finished with Nuvo Drops

Pop Up Box Card - Vintage Tool Box

I make no secret of the fact that I struggle with masculine cards, so to have to do 2 dad cards for my own children, 1 husband card and 1 dad and Grandad for my own father can feel belittle overwhelming and I fear I end up making them all a little similar.

I fancied something a little different for my own dad so decide to go down the route of a pop up card themed as a vintage tool box 

Robot Pop Up Box Card

This card is so easy to make and yet looks so effective and fun. It can be adapted to suit yours or the recipicants personality or even just to suit what crafty items you have in your current stash.
