I had several people ask me how I made the Floral Framelit Lion into a card. I made this basket card the same way as I did the Lion and this will work with any of the Framelits. Cut Two of the framelit shapes that you're going to use for your card base and score the back one 1" along the top. If that doesn't make sense watch the video for this basket card.
I know this is a little late for Easter but you can make this basket and fill it with anything.
I wanted to apply to be a display stamper but thought I'd cheat and use the lion card I made for my Die Cut Shaped Cards Class using Stampin' Up's Floral Framelits. When I reread the rules before posting my link it said the cards had to be normal size. Crap. So I remade the lion card with no body and ended up liking him better than the original. Sometimes it pays not to cheat.
The lion's mane is cut with the Floral Framelits, The head is the 2-1/2" Circle punch, Cheeks; 1-1/4" Circle, Nose; Small Heart, Eyes;1/2" Circle, Mouth; 3/4" and 1" Circle Punches, Paws; Smallest Oval Framelit
Edit: I had several people ask me how to make this lion into a card. Cut two shapes for the card base and make a score line across the top of the back one. I used the same concept for the base of this Basket Card
I made this card using a window sheet and embossed it with one of the embossing folders. I used a punch for the flower and made several layers.
This is one of the 3D projects I made for the Artisan Award contest. I purchased the frame at Walmart. The inside dimentions are about 13"x13" making it too large to use a piece of DSP for the background so I cut individual 3"x3" squares and texturized them with a variety of embossing folders that Stampin' Up carries. I enlarged the letters on my computer, printed and cut them out to use as a pattern. The leaves were punched from Wild Wasabi using the Two Step Bird punch and the berries were punched from Poppy Parade with the 1/2" circle, sponged around the edges with Cherry Cobbler then covered with Crystal Effects. After making a project I don't normally like to make it again but I want one of these for myself so this is a project I'll be repeating.
I've entered Stampin' Up's Artisan Award contest every year since they started it and have been a finalist every year except for this one. I must be slipping. Oh well. One of the perks of losing is that I don't have to wait until after convention to post my projects. Here's the first one. It's a bed card, made all in one piece using the Adoring Acents Edglit.
I made this card to show the difference in size in the Sizzix letter dies that Stampin' Up carries or did carry. The tangerine letters were cut with the Serif Essentials Alphabet, the Daffodil letters were cut with the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet sizzlits and the Turquoise letters were cut with the new Typeset Alphabet Bigz dies that can be found in the 2012-2013 Stampin' Up Catalogue. I used the scraps of card stock to make the multi colored card base then glued my black layer on top. Here's a pic.
I joined an ATC (artist trading card) swap so I've been working on my samples. The ATC's look so lost without a card to go with them so I made a sample for myself and used it on a full size card. Here's my first one. It is for the embossing category. I did some dry embossing around the edge of the white layer with my diagonal score plate. I embossed the background with an embossing folder and I embossed my words with clear embossing powder then sponged colour on top.
I thought I'd try making a shaped card for this little bunny. He's one of the critters from my Cute Critters Punch Art Class. I used the largest heart framelit to make the card base and the second largest heart to cut my DSP. Once I put the bow on I found I also liked the card on its own so I've posted both versions
This would be a great card for a Fun Folds class. It's made using the Diagonal Score Plate and some punches. The card base is 11" x 3-3/4" and the fold is scored at 1-7/8". The roof is a 3" square cut in half on the diagonal. If you'd like more details scroll down for the video tutorial
