Tsunami Rose - Challenge #34 - Color Challenge

Hi everyone...

I think I should have blogged this card a bit earlier, but better late than never, right?

I have made a card for the ongoing Color Challenge, and you still have time to enter some cards to the challenge if you want. :-)
(and we would be happy if you join us of course)

Well, enough taking, here is my card.





I just love the Witches Brew set, there is so many papers to choose from and they sure make you get in to the Halloween feeling.

So, why don't you click into the Zibbet shop and get yourself this wonderful set...I can guarantee that you will love the papers just as much as I do. :-)

Hugs from Linda

Tsunami Rose - Tutorial on a pocketcard


Hi everone,

Its Tuesday again, and time for me to do another tutorial for Tsunami Rose.

This time I have chosen to do an easier card, with a pocket inside....perfect if you are going to give someone for example a gift-card. :)

*****
Take a cardstock - 12x4 - score at 4 and 8


Fold - Then cut away ½ inch on the right side
After that, Cut away a piece in an diagonal angle, as shown on picture


Chalk the edges and the score lines to get a Halloween-like look


Cut away a piece of the right flap - Then put some tape at the botton


Take 2 pieces of patterned paper in the size 3½x5½ inch - Chalk the edges


Fold and get the pocket taped down - Put a patterned paper on the left side and decorate if you want to


Add the patterned paper of your choice on the front of your card - Then put tape around the edges of the paper


Take off the protective paper from the tape and add lace around the edges so it will be like a frame


Decorate as you like - A tip is to put a big flower where the beginning meets the end of the lace and make kind of a lock


Keep decorating the front as much as you like - And there you have a card where you can put a gift-card inside







The spooky papers I have used comes from "Witches Brew" Printable Journal Kit.

Hope you liked my tutorial, and my card.

Take care and see you all soon again.

Tsunami Rose Designs - - "Bingo Rose" - Blue


Hi,

Its time for me to promote a paper for Tsunami Rose Designs.
Its a stunning paper that can be useful in many themes, this time I chose to do a Congratulations-card.


 To do this paper justice, I feel that there should be just a few decorations, so the paper can talk for itself.
The flowers on it are so cute, so I just highlight them by using my Diamond Stickles....
Lots of details to bling, but I had so much fun while doing it, so it was totally worth it.


Then I added some flat flowers, mulberry leaves, a pin, an owl charm and some rhinestones.


Hope you liked the paper as much as i do...
You can get it at a great prize at Tsunami Roses webshop, just click on the picture under this text, and have a look....
And, while you are there, take a look around and check out all the other beautiful papers that Daisy have made, I can garantee that you will have a great there. :)

It has happened before and it will happened again....that's for sure.... ;)

With that said....here is my card...






This card goes in my favorite color, and the color of fall; Orange.
I love the bright colors on this stamp, and wanted to spin off from that. :)

Materials Used:

* Orange Cardstock
* Black Cardstock
* Girl and Sentiment from Autumn Set
* Orange Mulberry roses
* Vanilla-colored Daisy
* Green Mulberry Leaves
* Green Rhinestones
* White heart-pin
* Owl charm

*Orange Lace trim

Edges is chalked with Ingvild Bolme (black coal), and some details are blinged with my best friend; my Diamond Stickles. :)

I cut out the girl with Spellbinders Nestabilities, Lacey Circles.

Tsunami Rose Designs - Halloween Card Tutorial

 photo tsunamirose_designteam_badges_lindagold_zps193f1ea9.gif


Its tuesday, and time for me to do a tutorial for Tsunami Rose.

I don't know if there is a name for this card, the idea popped up in my head last week.
If you know a name for this, just let me know. =)

*****
Start with a 12x12" cardstock that you score at 3" and 9".
Then turn and score on 3" and 9" again.
Cut and take the "corners" away. (the ones marked with an X)


This is how it should look when you have taken the corner parts off.


Fold on the scored lines.



Now its time for some patterned paper.

I have used;


2 pieces in the size 4½ x 4½"

2 pieces in the size 2½ x 5½"
(also 2 more pieces in the same size that you will see on another picture)
4 pieces in 4½" x 2½"



As a mat for the patterned paper I have used

2 pieces in the size 5 3/4" x 5 3/4"
8 pieces in the size 2 3/4" x 5 3/4"



Now you can assemble the inside of the card, I chose to chalk the edges first.



Before assembling the back and the "front doors" of the card I choose to add an orange ribbon, to be able to close the card later on.



Here you can see how it will look when the ribbon is on place.

After this step you can assemble the backing paper and the papers on the "doors". ( The papers I used on the doors is shown on a later picture)



Next step is to decorate with papers/decorations of your choice.

I have added some stickles and rhinestones to make the papers pop out even more.



I added some 3D foam pads to make the banner pop up more



Here you can see the papers I used on the doors.
I added a lot of Stickles here too....you can never have too much bling if you ask me 



A close-up where you can see that I even blinged some details on the pumpkin


The back of the card.
I added stickles on the "net" pattern, and that I have done on all the patterned papers.



The spooky papers I have used comes from "Witches Brew" Printable Journal Kit.
Just click on the picture under this text and you will come to the shop right away.

 

Hope you liked my tutorial, and my card.

Take care and see you all soon again.
