Hello, Crafters.
I hope you’re enjoying a great weekend.
We
had a lovely day yesterday celebrating daughter, Vicki’s
had a lovely day yesterday celebrating daughter, Vicki’s
parents-in-law
Golden Wedding Anniversary. All four of Tom
Golden Wedding Anniversary. All four of Tom
and Iris’s sons were there,
each with their wife and children,
each with their wife and children,
plus quite a lot of other family
members, as well as friends and
members, as well as friends and
neighbours, but more about that
tomorrow!!
tomorrow!!
Today’s video shows how I made a tent-type card that has a
stained glass window, behind which you can put a
battery-operated tealight! The card is fixed so the tealight
sits inside and the card won’t fall over.
My first card is in Soft Sky Cardstock (CS) which is now a
retired colour. I added Happy Birthday sentiment from the Vertical
Greetings Stamp Set, to this card which I think worked well.
I also think this will be brilliant for other occasions e.g. weddings,
anniversaries, engagements, etc.
For the second card I used Blushing Bride, but my camcorder ran
out of memory just as I was about to make the sentiment! Frustrating
as this was, I liked the look of the card without a sentiment just
as much as the one with the sentiment.
I decided not to add a sentiment in the second attempt so I can
save these cards and as a sentiment as and when! The first
three photographs show each of the three cards with a tealight
behind the window, and the second three photographs without.
I wish you a very blessed Sunday. I will be back tomorrow
with some photographs from yesterday’s celebrations.
So until tomorrow, happy crafting.

another great card – thanks much for sharing Jan
Jan, this is a very beautiful card involving a 'fun fold' of sorts. I love how you have incorporated the new DSP in as an actual window. Thank you for all the TOP TIPs throughout the whole video tutorial too. :O)
What a stunning card – can't wait to get this paper to make beautiful cards.

Absolutely stunning! What more can be said?! Really and truly!! Love all of them!! TFS!
PERFECT
Okay, I know it’s been awhile, but what a punch this card through me! It’s beautiful! I thought I might make a bunch to donate to raise money for breast cancer, but after watching you, I don’t know? I don’t have the Botancial Bliss Bundle, but could proably find something to use. But, I wanted to make about 200 of these. Why did you not use the die for the window cut that’s in the Painted Glass Bundle? It didn’t fit, did it? Okay, I’ll try one anyway, I bought a extra pack of this DS Vellum.
Hi, Gloria. I’m afaid this was too long ago for me to remember my reasons for choosing one thing over something else! I often struggle remembering why I made decisions the way I did last week! LOL! I wish you success with your very big project! xx
