Dagger Card with Dr. Sonia

Sharing from my friend Dr Sonia

Hi this is Dr Sonia sharing a fun interactive card and template. Thank You so much Beckie for this guest post opportunity--you are such a dear !

Dagger Shaped card

I designed this dagger shaped card using the scorpal ! It was fun and surprisingly easy to make!

Dagger Shaped card

I used pearls and  golden brads to glamorize the handle of the dagger shaped card.On pulling the handle of the dagger, it slides out of the sheath to reveal a golden glittery blade.

Dagger Shaped card

I used 3 D holographic shiny paper for the dagger blade.On the other side I used  wood colored paper recycled from an old wedding card.Added a Happy birthday greeting on the dagger inside the card !

Dagger Shaped card

I actually created the dagger shaped card by playing around with my scorpal but the tutorial for that is too lengthy and boring so designed a simple template for the dagger shaped card.

Shaped Card Template

Make the dagger with thick card [or stick 2 card pieces together] as other wise it will be floppy  when you draw it out.  Bend the tabs of the sheath inwards, apply glue and stick to complete the sheath of the dagger shaped card.
This card  will be a fun card for party invitations and birthdays.
Thank You so much Beckie ...I hope both you and your readers will like this fun card!

Never Too Far Away Card with Jessica's Craft Shaque

Sharing from my friend Jessica of Jessica's Craft Shaque

I simply ADORE all of my wonderful

Blends

here in Crafty Blog Land!

Beckie of Just B Creative Crazy

and I connected a while ago,

and I am honored to call her my dear Friend

as well as my sweet Blend!

When she asked if I would interested

in helping

her keep her Blog Breathing

during a move she embarking

on, I didn't hesitate to say YES!!!

I really feel bad that she can't get to her crafty

supplies right now, and when I received this

wonderful Itty Bitty stamp from

another sweet Blend~Jessica Esch,

I knew instantly

that I would use it to create a card

for sweet Beckie!

The card was created by cutting

an 8 1/2x11 piece of card stock

to measure 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

(scored and folded along the 5 1/2 width)

Then I cut the dp to measure 5 1/4 x 4

I stamped the balloon image then heat embossed with white powder

The sentiment is stamped on white card stock using

VersaMagic-Sea Breeze

I will be entering this card into

Unity Opportunity - Ippity challenge

Stamp on Designer Paper

Thanks so much for having me at your blog Beckie.

It is my pleasure to help out!

Keep Crafting

Making a Butterfly from a flower with Laura

Sharing from my awesome friend Laura of Scrappin Around The Clock.

Hello!

I have been meaning to share this little tip for quite some time now.  What do you do when you have a flower and you want a butterfly?  You make one of course!

These basic 5 petal flowers .....

Are really easy to turn into butterflies, by snipping off one petal.

Add to a project and add a button to hold a little set of antennae.

Cute, right?

 Papers are Jillibean soup.
