Zombie 21st Birthday Card and Altered Tin

My friend asked me to make a card for her son's 21st birthday, so I did :)

 Many computer generated graphics. The tin is a Cadbury's biscuit tin covered in Ducktape "Metalika" and a decal bought from eBay. The biohazard tape was bought from Amazon. The rifle and cover where from my exstensive collection of  bits and pieces I've saved, found or collected.
Take care & keep smiling :)

21st Birthday Pirate Ship Card - For my Son

It was my Son Alexander' 21st birthday back in September, but he didn't get to see his card until Christmas Day !!! But as they say "Better late than never" :oD

 I used a template I bought from Sandra's Scrapshop, I modified it a bit, but then that's me, I can't help messing :o)
All of the ship is made with very thick card, and all the "wood" was made with Alota rubber stamps "Fence" 
stamp. coloured in with my trusty Derwent coloursoft pencils and the planks were cut and stuck on staggered. The front and the back of the ship and the crows nest are not included with the template, they are of my own design.
The sails and flags are made from printable cotton, the 21 was hand embroidered and the flags were printed on. If your wondering what the flags mean, (the blue with white spot and red spot) they are the international maritime signs for 2 and 1. The canons were made from brads, the anchors were a pair of earrings, hte wheel was bought from a modeler and the rest were from broken bits of jewellery I found. The Waves were sourced from the internet traced over with a waterproof pen and the coloured with Derwents. I think that about covers it, without getting too boring. Have a great new year and Take care & keep smiling :o)
PS. The inside of the ship was filled with 21 shiny new £1 coins.

Steampunk 21st Birthday Book Card

It's been a long time since my last posting, but I have been crafting, just haven't got around to posting the pictures !!! But here's my latest offering, a 21st birthday book card my friend asked me to make for her daughter. And it's Steampunk, I've only just discovered it, and I love it ...

 The Steampunk girl inside the card is a digi stamp by Kenny K - Lady Victoria, I printed this out in a pale grey colour and went over it with a waterproof pen and then coloured with Derwents Coloursoft pencils, Sasodor and Sakura gel pens. The paper is by Prima - "Engineer" and "Draftsman".The tutorial for the book card was from McMahon, though I did change the sizes as the sizes given were too small as I wanted an A5 size book.
Take care and keep smiling :o)

Double Tri Shutter Card - 21st Birthday

Here is a Double Tri Shutter Card that I made for my Son's girlfriend Pheobe. This card was a lot easier to make than the Tri Shutter card in my last post, but then again this card is a lot less fussy than the last card.

Materials Used -
Stardream card
Bazzill card
Woodware Daisy punches
Brilliance inkpads - Victorian Violet, Mediterranean Blue, and Sky blue.
Crafts -Too Daisy embossing folder.
Nestabilities circles dies - Standard and Small sets
Fiskars border punch - Threading Water
Elusive Designs sentiment rubber stamps
Bling on a Budget gemstone swirls (I got mine from Craft Obsessions)
Rangers Glossy Accents glue.
First of all I cut all the panels for the card then ran them through my Cuttlebug with the embossing folder. Then using the Brilliance ink pads sponged the Daisies and edges.
The 21st center was cut out using a standard size nestablities circles die. I then cut out another standard circle then positioned the small die in the middle of this to get a frame. The number 21 was bought and the gemstone swirls were further embellished with some dark blue rhinestones from my stash.
The daisy flowers were made with Woodware daisy punches and the center of the flowers were coloured using a cotton bud and a Brilliance ink pad. The center of the flowers then had a generous blob of Rangers Glossy accents glue and left to dry for a couple of hours.
The happy birthday sentiment was gone over twice with a Sakura Gelly roll clear glaze pen.
The box center circle was hand cut and the frame was made the same way as the 21st centerpiece.
The acetate was embossed with the same embossing folder as the card.
The edge of the box border again has blobs of Glossy Accents in the holes.
The card is then held shut with some dark blue organza ribbon.
Not sure what my next card is going to be, maybe a double, double tri shutter card :oD Anyway until then ... Take care & keep smiling
