A new kind of Card from a pink Decorative bag

Well I've been trying to think outside of the box and Create a different kind of Card to share with all of you. This is a card that I've created using a pink paper Bag.  I wanted something that had pockets in it so that you can put cash or a gift card into it also.  I'm experimenting using tabs and pull outs also.

 I need a Wedding Card for next month so I thought that I could be ahead if I went ahead and made a Card for the occasion.

This is the face of the card with the Butterfly bookmark on.

-Liquid Applique Tutorial and Card-

 

Hi Everyone, This is a tutorial that I wrote about a year ago for Through the Craft Room Door magazine.  I've finally decided to post it on my blog and share. If you've always thought about using liquid applique here is an example of what to do with it.

Adding texture to a project with Liquid Applique 101

 

Supplies needed:

 

Image or Stamp- I used a My Bestie digital image called “IMG 189"

Liquid Applique- Marvy Uchida

Embossing Heat Tool

 

 

 

Liquid applique can be used on fabric or paper to give the image a 3D effect. I love to use it to make wool or fur. It comes in numerous different colors also. For this example I've chosen to use "White" for the sheeps wool.

I colored my image first with copic markers, leaving the sheep uncolored where I am applying the liquid Applique as the “Wool”

1. Remove the lid of the Liquid applique and make sure that it isn’t plugged up and flows freely when gently squeezed. A straight pin works well to unplug.

2. In a “dotting motion” apply the liquid applique to the sheep until completely covered . *Try to avoid your black lines of the image so that you can see where you are working.

 

 

3. Allow the liquid applique to dry (Overnight is recommended but a few hours is okay when using on paper.)

4. After dry, use your heat tool to “heat” your liquid applique and watch it puff up. Do not overheat or it will turn brown when scorched.

 

5. That’s it, Create your card as desired.

 

 

 Here is my finished Card
