Japanese Jar


Hi, Nancy Hill for Tutti Designs Team and every Tuesday, I am excited to share a card with you using another gorgeous Tutti Designs die.  It was a lot of fun thinking about how to show case this gorgeous Tutti Designs' Ginger Jar die but came up with this card and hope it inspires you to create your next cards using these gorgeous Tutti Designs oriental dies such as this Tutti Designs Ginger Jar.  You will want to see the rest of the gorgeous February Tutti Designs oriental dies by clicking HERE.

Supplies:
Tutti Designs Ginger Jar TUTTI-273
Black and rust colored card stock, Gold Metallic card stock
Black and Gold Embossing powder
Aleene's Fast Grab Spray Adhesive
Black Fine Tip Pen
Ghost Line Poster Paper
Oriental Stamps

Instructions
Cut out 9  2"x 2" square with rust card stock and stamped each square with black or gold embossing powder.  Use a super fine point black ink pen to parts of the stamp designs. Adhere each square on a 7" x 7" black  card stock.  For the main base of the card, cut a 7" x 14" and score in the center and fold  (I always use a Ghost Line Poster Paper for my larger cards in order that the card won't warp and and will hold the shape). Cut out a 7" square frame using gold metallic card stock.  Adhere as shown on photo on card.

Cut out Ginger Jar with black, rust and gold metallic card stock.  Adhere the flowers and branch on the jar.  Adhere the Tutti Designs' Ginger Jar with 3D glue dots to the card.

Refer to my tutorial about using fabric softener sheets to do this technique and save a lot of work and time by clicking HERE.  This technique is very good about cutting out intricate dies as well as saving the tiny pieces for projects such as using these little flowers from the Tutti Designs Ginger Jar die.  I just peeled the jar and the tiny flowers stay on the fabric softener sheets.  Make sure not to use the fragrant fabric softener sheets since the tiny pieces will be too hard to get off and it leaves a film on the pieces as well as the large die cut. 




Now it is your turn to try this gorgeous Tutti Designs die and see what you create! Click HERE to see the  Tutti Designs dies.

Reminder to visit the Tutti Designs Blog to see what our other designers have created for you.  Explore more ways of using this die as well as other Tutti Designs dies, visit our Tutti Designs designers on the Tutti Designs Pinterest or Tutti Designs Facebook .

Happy Crafting!

Pampered Pooch Birthday Card

Heartfelt Creations Pampered Pooch Pals stamp set
Heartfelt Creations Pampered Pooch Paw-fect Pooches die set

Other supplies:  Ghost line Poster Paper

Instructions:  

Select the papers as shown below in the Heartfelt Creations Pampered Pooch 12 x 12 paper collection.  The front of the card and inside of card of paper selected below measured 6" x 6".

Also, cut the dog with the cake shown below 3 1/2" x 4 1/2".   Using a heavy weight white poster paper or heavy weight card stock, cut 6" x 12".

Front of Card



Instructions for Front of Card:

Outside blue frame square measures 6 1/2" x 6 1/2.  Glue the Heartfelt Creation Pampered pooch image on the blue frame.  Using the Heartfelt Creations Pampered Pooch Paw-fect Pooches stamp set, stamp the large bone.  Using the same die set, stamp Happy Birthday in the center of the bone.  I used Ranger Antique ink and sponged around the bone.  Cut the bone using the large bone die from the Heartfelt Creations Pampered Pooch Paw-fect Pooches die set.

Using the Heartfelt Creations Pampered Pooch Pals stamp set, stamp and collar.  I applied embossing ink on the buckle of the collar and then embossed it with copper embossing powder.  Put the collar end through the first hole of the buckle and glue it.  Stamp on the collar the beautiful sentiment "Life is Better With You In It" found in the Heartfelt Creations Pampered Pooch Paw-fect Pooches stamp set.    Cut a three inch Scrapbook Adhesive 3D Foam Tape nad tape the collar on the card.  I made these flowers using an old McGill flower punch and I applied the gorgeous NUVO Crystal Drops Ivory Seashell in the center of some of the flowers.




Inside of Card

The measurement of the picture of the dog is 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" and the brown frame around the picture is 3 3/4" x 5".  The paper (see photo above) from the Heartfelt Creations Pampered Pooch is 6" x 6".   I used an old stamp set for the sentiment.  




Inside of card

I cut the dogs out using the  Heartfelt Creations Pampered Pooch Pals die set and used a molding tool on the back of the dogs to give it a 3D dimension and glued the edges of the dogs onto the front of this picture.
