Just Me and Them

Dragon Card Tutorial

I made this card quite awhile ago using some of the Kaszazz stamps.  I ablosutely adore the dragon stamp and the background scales as well!!  Here's how I made it ...

 Required –

• 5 inch square Shimmer card

• A5 white card

• Teal and orange toned Shimmer mist

• Aqua Chalk mist

• Silver inkpad

• Red Grosgrain ribbon

• Kaszazz stamps – Dragon and Scales

• Blue and Gold H2O paints

• Red Liquid Pearls

• Stazon Timber Brown inkpad

Instructions –

1. Cut a 4 ¾ inch square from the white card.

2. Spritz a plastic cover with water then spray sections with the teal and the orange shimmer mist. Press white card square down into the mix and lift off. Dab off excess fluid then spritz with the aqua chalk mist. Put aside to dry thoroughly.

3. Stamp the dragon stamp with the Stazon ink onto the remaining white card. Spritz slightly with water then gently tear off the excess along two of the sides. Roll the torn edges then put aside to dry.

4. Ink the scales stamp with silver ink and stamp down onto the card piece created in step 2. Tear off two of the sides slightly to hide that the stamp does not completely cover the surface.

5. Adhere the scales stamped card to the front of the card base with it positioned further to the left.

6. Add two rows of ribbon to the left side with one of these featuring a knot.

7. Colour the dragon in with a paintbrush and the gold and Blue H2O paints then adhere to the centre of the card front.

8. Finally add a red pearl dot to the eye.

Kaszazz Card - Fuschia Card

Remember yesterday when I said there were two cards we do for class?  Well here is what the second card looks like -

This card was created initially as a tri-fold but I've created a pocket inside to hold a voucher for those times when you give a gift voucher with a card.

Once again, I've created a downloadable instruction sheet on how I created this card.  You can find it here. 

 
 

Kaszazz Card Article - Butterfly Card

For sometime now I've been making and teaching cards in my own home to a group of wonderful people.  It's been enormous fun and highly rewarding for me.  Recently one of the ladies told me she never uses her cards though because she uses them to re-teach herself the techniques so I decided to put a write up of each months cards here for them - so they can use those cards and show off their skills!! 

So... our next get together is on the 10th and I've already made both of the cards for the day.  Here is the first -

 

Pretty well everything used is from the Kaszazz catalogue (since thats the company I represent for these classes) although I did cheat a little by using the alcohol inks which are not in the catalogue as yet  -although I'd love for them to be!!
