Father's Day Inspiration

What better way to show your Dad how much he means to you than giving him a handmade card for Father's Day this year.

Take some inspiration from Debbie Frost who has made this lovely card featuring the very versatile Printable Acetate which is one of her favourite Stix2 products.

Handmade by Debbie Frost

Things you will need

A5 White Card Blank S57342
A4 Printable Acetate Sheet S57183
Fabric Spray Paint in Bahama Blue MGP320D
Fabric Spray Paint in Neon Green MGP320A
Fabric Spray Paint in Sapphire Blue MGP320G

Transfer Foils in Silver S57112
Clear Foam Pads S57126
Ultra Clear Tape 19mm x 5m S57092

Sail Away Stamp JGS520
Water Based Colouring Pens

Instructions:

Debbie has sprayed some White Card with a mix of the Fabric Spray Paints which are great for paper craft too. When dry she has printed the sail boat (Sail Away JGS520) and coloured with water based pens.

She die cut an aperture from the front of the A5 Card Blank and then attached the stamped image to the inside of the card so that the boat shows from the front. Debbie then printed the words she wanted using Word on her computer and then printed it onto the Printable Acetate in the same way you would onto a piece of card.

Debbie advises leaving the Acetate to one side for a while just to allow the ink to "set" as it's slightly tacky when it comes out of the printer.

She then cut the Acetate to fit and attached it to the inside of the card with Ultra Clear Double Sided Tape. Cut another piece of White Card with the aperture to fix over this just to hide the tape and make it look neater.

Hobby and Craft PVA Glue S57048
Double Sided Adhesive Tape Sheets S57107
Hot Melt Glue Gun S57234
Hot Melt Glue Sticks S57235

Easter Chicks
Chocolate Eggs/Gifts

Instructions

Jane used a White Stardust Cracker, which are great for other occasions such as Easter or Weddings. Push out the diamond shapes and keep them as they can be glued together to make pretty star shapes etc for other projects.

If you have trouble shaping the crackers, try using a wooden rolling pin to roll them around!

Cut Orange Stardust Paper and use a Tape Pen to stick to the cracker.

Ultra Sticky Clear Tape added to the edges of the orange pieces is great for Glitter and Beads.  Use a Stix2 Clean and Clear Tray to keep your glitter in one place and excess can be easily put back into the tube.

Tie off one end of the cracker with Double Faced Satin Ribbon and insert snap if required then fill cavity with Easter goodies!

Add more ribbon tying off both ends.

To finish, a Die Cut Oval Shape makes a perfect base for an Easter chick. Cover with glitter either using PVA Glue or A4 Double Sided Sticky Tape Sheets.  A little Hot Melt Glue will hold your chick nicely on the base and the base to the cracker.

Mother's Day Inspiration

Mother's Day is only a month away so time to create a special card for a special lady. Debbie Frost has designed this beautiful mixed media card.

Handmade by Debbie Frost

Things you will need:

Craft & Mixed Media Iron S57360

Iron on Adhesive for Various Materials S57357
Parchment Paper S57359
Transfer foils "Carnival" S57271
Clear Foam Pads S57126
8" x 8" White Card Blank S57340
Pink Tinted Card A4250TINTPINK
Sky Blue Tinted Card A4250TINTSKYBLUE
Double Sided Polyester Ultra Sticky Sheet S56971
PVA Glue S57048
25mm x 25mm x 2mm Foam Pads S57139

Sizzix Tim Holtz dies Detailed Butterflies & Wildflowers
Tim Holtz Distress inkpads
Versamagic inkpads
Craft canvas on a roll.

Instructions:

Debbie has used the Stix2 with Heat Range and has started by using the Tim Holz Wildflowers dies with the Various Materials Sheet.

She then sponged the die cut flowers softly with the pastel colours of the Versamagic pads before removing the paper backing sheet (a bit tricky but worth it!) and laying in place on the canvas which she had previously sponged with the Distress inks.

Now cover the flowers with Parchment Paper and heat with the Craft Iron. It's important to leave the Parchment Paper in place until completely cold or you will peel off your design too! This effect gives a beautiful water colour look. She then glued the piece of canvas to a piece of lavender card and mounted to the left of the Stix2 Card Blank.

Next she took a piece of the Double Sided Polyester Sheet and peeled off one backing paper to stick it onto a piece of card. Debbie then die cut two butterflies using the Tim Holtz Detailed Butterflies set using the solid butterfly die.

She also die cut two butterflies in Pink and Blue Tinted Card using the filigree die. She peeled off the remaining backing sheet on the "solid" butterflies and applied the hologram Silver Transfer Foil from the "Carnival" set.

What a simple but stunning effect!

Now simply lift the wings of the lacy butterfly and attach it to sit over the silver one. To finish Debbie has stuck the butterflies to the Card Blank along with the stamped sentiment and she has added some Clear Foam Pads covered with Transfer Foils as embellishments.
