A Birthday Card for Her - Fashion Theme

hello guys :D 
so unlike the tutorials I've been doing, this post is much more like a note/journal of card making!
This is a bday card I recently made for my friend by the way
enjoy it :)
____________________________________________
Brief Materials: varieties of color paper, hole puncher, ribbon, scissors, glue (i think this is pretty much it)

1. you need two pieces of color paper of different sizes (like one cm smaller each side), and you hole punch it 
◆ don't punch the holes too far apart
◆ make sure to overlap the paper the way you want it to look like before you hole punch it
(xP I started making this card when I was doing math)

I used white ribbon

and then i started to make the clothings. my favorite one on the entire card is the jeans with poka dots ribbon belt.
but sorry i was so in to it that i forgot to take pictures for the procedure of clothes making :P

and the followings are the small cards that i attached it on the side of the card:

Butterfly :D
(and a quick note that, you really can just make one of these easy and small cards for greeting notes, etc.)
1. you first fold the paper in half
2. and then you cut it out
※ KEEP THE TOP PART OF ITS WINGS CONNECTED SO YOU CAN OPEN IT AS A CARD INSTEAD OF HAVING TWO PIECES OF BUTTERFLY





here comes the heart :
hmm.. this is a little more complex than the butterfly because you need to fold it in half TWICE

2. after you fold it in half, and then another half, draw a heart shape so you have an idea of what you are cutting
※SAME THING, KEEP THAT TOP PART OF THE HEART UNCUT!
3. after you cut it out you'll get a little greeting card like this c:



this is a bow
(i really dont think i succeeded at making this well xP)
1. you fold it twice
2. then draw a shape of a half bow
(draw a better one than this one xP)


 AND FINALLY YOU PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER ON THE COLOR PAPER THAT YOU HOLE PUNCHED EARLIER! YAY 

well this is not really a tutorial... but I hope you enjoy it!!!!

Christmas Card - Simply Stampy (yellow

I hope you've already chosen the color that you like and let's begin :D
(click here to see the orange cards tutorial!)
Material: yellow card paper (any size you prefer is fine), stamps, pen, tape that can be tore off easily

1. fold the card in half and write down merry christmas in the middle front as neat as you can xD

2. tape the tape on the words (as accurate as possible in the middle of the card; that means your merry christmas should be well located in the middle, too!)

4. stamp however you want your card to look like, but remember that too much stamp might cause mess on the card
5. After you are done with stamping, tear the tape carefully from the card
※ be really careful when you are touching the tape part because the INK IS NOT DRY yet so if you accidentally had ink on your hand, try not (do not) touch the card unexpectedly

4. stamp however you want your card to look like, but remember that too much stamp might cause mess on the card

Christmas Card- Snow Glass


Hello guys! After all the thanks have been giving out, it is the time of Christ's birth!
Just in case any of you want to make a tons of cards at once (like 20+), then it would be a great idea to start early!
_______________________________________________
So what you need:
1/4 of A4 dark blue color paper, compass, pencil, white pen (that can be seen on the dark background), brown color pencil, and SCISSORS (sorry i forgot to put it in the picture :( )

1. draw the circle with compass and cut it out
note: the radius of my circle is about 1-1.5 cm. it shouldn't be too big 

2. draw a trapezoid-ish shape below the circle with brown color pencil

3. trace the circle with the white pen

4. draw what you would like to be in the snow glass
note: i drew snow and a snow man with a little light reflection on the top left side of the ball

5. make some note and glue them on the card or you can simply write with any pens

6. on the front cover, write Merry Christmas with the white pen in the format that you like, then add on to that, Santa Claus with a deer pulling 

I really do hope this tutorial helps you!

Easy Fancy Thanksgiving Card!

Here is another Thanksgiving card! And as you can see, the style is different from the previous cards. Instead of using a single color as the background and have a hole in the front cover, there's no hole, and it's technically bigger, and you would actually need to put some stationary on it!
Don't worry if you don't have the fancy stickers (I don't have them either :/ even though I always want to get one)! What you need is basically color paper or you can either draw or stamp on the paper, trust me, it would be as beautiful as it is with the stickers :) Let's get started!
_______________________________________________________
Material: plain card, (a) paper with pattern on it (you can draw or stamp on white paper or color paper), sponge adhesive (2 small circles), orange color paper (pick a small or used one so you don't waste paper), (b) pattern paper small (at least 2 different kinds)


(I got these plain card and envelope pack from Michaels)

1. I folded the card first but I suggest not to do it since it makes it harder to put thing on it

2. Compare the card with (a) pattern paper


3. Mark at the end of the card so when you cut them down, they would match
(as you can see, I the length of my pattern paper bar is gonna be 3 cm


4. put the (a) bar on the card 
DO NOT GLUE YET


5. Draw a leave on the orange paper


6. cut the leave down and place it on the card above the (a) bar.


7. I strongly believe you can get some of these sponge thing in the US, because I got them form Taiwan :P


make sure they are the ones that has thickness 





So when you use them to fix the leave on the card the leave looks taller :D


8. Doesn't really matter what kind of glue you are using as long as it's strong enough to let everything stay on the card (duh)


9. then write " Thank You" in the front


DONE C:


I really do hope this tutorial helps you!
