Flip-Card Tutorial using partial die-cutting!

Hi Everyone,
Hussena here to share with you a tutorial on how to make a flip-card using your dies and Big Shot..It's a really very easy way to make some fast and interactive cards to get the 'WOW' factor from your friends and family..So first let's gather our supplies and you all will need the following to make these cards below.
                                                               

                                                   

Supplies needed for the tutorial :-
                                  
Big Shot Machine
Spellbinder's Nestabilities Label 4
Martha Stewart Scoring Board
Fiskars Sure Cut paper Trimmer
Cardstocks
Pattern paper of your choice ( I have used the Prima Zephyr Paper Pad.)
Distress inks(Totally optional)
                                                               

And now for the tutorial :-

I have written the steps in the pictures itself..I hope this makes it easier for you all to understand it.
  
Step 1- Take a piece of cardstock measuring 7 1/2 inches by 4 1/4 inches.                                                                                        

Step 2 - Fold it in a zig-zag pattern.                                            

Step 3 - Your card should look like this now.                                          

Step 4 - Now measure,cut and glue your pattern paper on to the front of your card.                                                     

Step 5 -Now place your die on the smaller side of the card with it's centre point aligning with the 2 3/4 inch scored line and stick it with either a Washi Tape or any repositionable glue.                                                

Step 6 -Now make your cutting sandwich for this you can refer our DT member Mallika's post on how to create a cutting sandwich for your dies...Place your acrylic plate only up to the 2 3/4 inch score line and run it through your Big Shot..This will allow you to only partially die-cut one end of your card which is required for the flipping mechanism.                                             

Step 7 -Now that you have cut one end ...Turn your card around and place your acrylic plate on the  3 3/4 inch score line and again partially die-cut it...Please take care to place your acrylic plates to the the required scored line...otherwise you will end up cutting up the entire piece.                 

Step 8 -After you have die-cut both the ends,your card will look like this below....Now, peel off the pattern paper from the die-cut ends...Don't worry if you mess up a bit..This will later on get covered up.                                        

Step 9 -Now using the same label die, die-cut  two pieces of cardstock....One plain and other colored....The plain one will be attached to the back side where as the colored one will be in the front of your card.                              

Step 10 -Attach the white cardstock on the front side and when you flip your card this will go on the back.                         

Step 11- Attach the colored cardstock on the back side as shown.                                                      

Step 12 -Once both the die-cuts are attached, this is how your card will look.                                          

Step 13 -As you can see,when the card is opened, the white die-cut piece comes in the front where you can write your message.                                

Step 14 -Once the card is closed, this is how it will look.                                              

Step 15 -Here are my sample cards before I have embellished them.                                              

Supplies used for embellishing :-

Lawn Fawn Blissful Botanicals and Flutter By.

Prima Zephyr paper Pad , Best of K & Company Papers.

Shabby chic Piggy Bank

Hello Friends,
This is Mallika from Aola Handmade Cards , again with a post as part of the DT for Crafters Corner .
Today I will show you a very interesting project which I have been working on .
This month we have a theme of showcasing anything but not a Card or Layout . Keeping that in mind I have created a project .
Recently , my Scrapbooking classes and custom orders have gone to a new level - resulting in me splurging on Crafter Corners . 
My long-time love for papers has actually compelled me to buy Once upon a time paper stack . In case any of you are interested in vintage, go for the same . Many people ask me how do you do vintage. This is the answer to their query. Base paper holds most of the magic . Crafters Corner has so many choices that it will confuse you all.
Do you also know that our cherry lynn dies prices have dropped down permanently !!

Now, as for my project - it won't be termed vintage, but can be termed "Shabby Chic".
I have made a piggy bank / key holder / night lamp- all in one!
The back of the house has a key holder  .
The supplies which have been used:

• The legendary Tim Holtz Lantern for making it so spectacular . 
• The amazing butter like Tonic Trimmer . 
• Score board from Martha Stewart . 
• Silicon Blob for hard stick  
• Doily Punch from Martha Stewart 
• Beautiful Mulberry leaves; among other things from my collection.

Please enlarge the pictures by clicking on them to see the minute details .

Wall hanging tutorial

Helloall,
 its kavitha here to share a tutorial today.First of all i am so sorry for the poor pictures,my camera phone is already dying and top of it my computer is corrupted and all software's has been deleted,so not able to edit the pictures:(.
The tutorial is to make a mobile hanger with paper scraps.All you need is circle punch-from EK success,Martha stewart doily lace border punch,fevicol,stitching thread,pattern paper scraps and ribbon.

Take a 18" strip of card stock(2 inches width) and punch the border.Stick both the ends together,you will get a base like this.

Take the punches circle,apply glue and fix the thread in the middle and stick another punches circle over it.In this way the thread gets covered and both the sides will have patterns.In case you can stitch you don't need to stick the other sides,instead you can use double sided pattern papers.

I made 8 strands of punched circle and attached it to the base.For hanging it punch 4  holes on four sides in the base,take one meter of ribbon,put a knot on one side and attach it to  the base.Finally join all the four ribbons together and tie a bow.

Hope you liked it,you can try this with different shapes like heart,stars,butterflies etc.Best way to use your scrap too.This looks lovely in real.
