Here's another card kit. I thought these would be great for kids to make cards. I up cycled some of the Christmas cards I've received. I cut the card fronts with the Sizzix Puzzle Maker #2 die. The kids can make the puzzle until they are ready to glue it down. I have provided a piece of card stock to be a layer onto which the puzzle can be glued onto. The easiest way to hold the puzzle together is to make it upside right onto the colored layer. Place a paper over top and flip the puzzle. Tape the pieces together then glue it to the card stock layer. Glue this element onto the card front. The picture on the right shows the puzzle pieces before the puzzle was assembled. I selected all snowman cards and included all the cute kiddy images. Check out my Christmas Card Kits page.
I set out to use a scrap piece of gift wrap. I thought this would make very nice cards for little girls. I was right. The paper had Snow White, Mulan, Ariel the mermaid, Jasmine, Rapunzel and more. I had to do a bit of research just to figure out which was which. The stamp is a clear set from Michaels in the $1.50 bin. I used a tiny brad to dot the "i" in the stamp. The colors were great.
I thought I would work on cards for kids. I had purchased some balloon punched shapes a while back so I designed with those in mind. I thought they would make birthday cards for boys. I tried a new Cuttlebug embossing folder (Distressed Stripes). I made a variety of color combinations. This was traditional primary colored one very suitable for boys. I drew the strings in with a black marker. I wish I owned this punch.
We need something for little girl birthdays as well so I found this ribbon in the $1.29 bin at Michaels. It was the inspiration for the other colors selected. I embossed the tag with Swiss Dots to repeat the dots on the green paper.
This similar to the last one. The primary colors really help to make it attractive to the younger folk. Again the wings were designed and printed on acetate. They both look great.
This is a cute one! I designed the bumble bee wings and printed them on acetate. The daisy was printed on the card itself. I added the stripes on the yellow cardstock circle with a marker. A one and a quarter inch circle for the head and added antennae and a stinger with a marker.
I had a request for kid card kits so I had to stretch myself a little to design something I was happy with. I thought balloons would be great but with no punch or die to cut them I was stuck. My sister came to my rescue. She sent me a collection of different colors. It worked out great. The purple one I put a pop dot under as well as giving it a real string.
