Over the top card

Hi Everyone, I did this tutorial for the TTCRD magazine last year, so I thought I would share it with those who hadn't read it.

I designed the card in Silhouette, by making a shape for a 6x6 card = 6x12 rectangle. I added the elephant head shape by ScrappinbyKris to the rectangle and welded it to make the shaped card. I arranged the shapes of the elephant and used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the parts out. I coloured parts of it with Spectrum Noir marker pens, I used a Martha Stewart border punch for the border and computer generated the sentiment.

1. first place all pieces of card in colours required, 

I placed them all for this card.

2. after being cut out remove from the mat 

3. fold the white card and cover with chosen paper,

add the ears and other parts to the head shape onto the white card

4. layering with 3D pads on the trunk

5. add the border punch and sentiment

6. finished card!

Roses all the way!

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps:

A Short Essay

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was seven years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!

As my friends and family are in the senior age range, I thought a little bit of vintage and fun would be suitable.
