Hi there!
It's Kim from
Katydid Cards and it's my day to share a project for Connie Can Crop. This month we're featuring digital images created by
Polkadoodles,
who are generously sponsoring both the challenge and blog hop this
month. I'll talk more about that later, but now I'm eager to
share my project with you as I think it's pretty darn cute.
I used the
Pawly Sick Digital Download
to create this card. I thought the square shape of this image would
work perfectly with this swing easel card. I saw the tutorial for it at
The Craft Spa and have made a few as I'm a big fan of fancy fold cards.
I
let the Ouchies digital patterned paper by NitWit Collections be my
guide for picking the card stock I would use. I used a blue by Bazzill
for the base and accented it with the digital paper and Real Red and
Whisper White mats. I used scraps from DCWV for the band-aid. I got
the idea to use the band-aid as the centerpiece from the band-aid on the
cute little hare's head.
I imported the image into my Silhouette
and sized it to fit in the square. I printed the balloon and slippers a
second time and traced them, turning them into a print and cut. I
popped them with dimensionals and it was just the right touch for the
image. I colored the image with Copics.
I
inserted the sentiment using the Cheddar Salad BTN font (free at
DaFont). I did some experimenting with placement as I wanted to be able
to peek through the front to see the top line, but not the second line
until you open the card. There's a separate section behind the image
for a personal message. Here's what that looks like:
Here's the peek-a-boo portion of the sentiment
And here is the card opened, so you can see both lines of the sentiment and that bonus space:
The card folds flat for mailing in a square envelope:
I would hate for anyone I know to become sick, but I think this card should bring a smile...actually, all the images at
Polkadoodles will bring a smile. There's
lots to see.
And
don't forget to join us for the Dads & Grads challenge still going
on at Connie Can Crop. You have until 12:00 pm PST on May 31st to
enter. One winner will be picked at random and receive a $15.00 voucher
to Polkadoodles.
