Cooper's Cards

Cooper wanted to make his cousins a card. He saw me making some and he wanted to do craft also. He loves craft and it is great to see a boy so involved. However, the life of a craftsman is always busy with phone calls and creating.

Border Punched Circular Flowers

Border Punched Flowers

I have made these flowers as a demonstration at the Cropworks camp that is on the weekend of the 21st October. They are fun to make. I will post a tutorial on them on the Cropworks Blog when camp is over.

Crinkle Flowers.

I have made these flowers from Japanese papers. I used to make them out of fabric and thought they might look Ok in paper. They worked. 

Method.
1. Draw a freehand circle on white cardstock.
2. Cut out a larger circle than the drawn one in the Japanese paper.
3. Glue circumference to circumference making a few pleats in the larger circle as you glue.
4. There will be a big hump in the centre, press it down to make the folds in the centre.
5. Cut the 2 layers out as a circle and fold back the cardstock here and there to make the petals.
6. Decorate the flowers with Kindy Glitz etc.

Here are 2 layouts I did for the crop this weekend. They were very successful and the ladies had fun making them.

Inside the Back.

The insert for the mini-album has been made using 1 sheet of cardstock. I made it the same way as i made the tri-shutter card but used different measurements.  The covers I have covered the chipboard with patterned paper. It took me about 2 hours to make from scratch. in front of the TV. It is a fun album to make and a little different. I made up the method myself. Don't know if anybody else out there in mini album world has made one like this. 

Tri-Shutter Card

Here is a Tri-Shutter card I am doing at the next crop this weekend. I have also made a Mini Album based on the Tri-Shutter Card.  These are fun to make. This one is only plain because the theme of this weekend is Father's day. I am making lots of things that Dad can receive.
