BasicGrey challenge #26 - All Round

It's Saturday and time for another Basic Grey Challenge! I hope you will join us again, this week the Challenge is to have all round corners on your card, so time to search out your corner rounder, LOL!

This became a simple card with very few embellishments, these stamps are gorgeous and I just love the branch. Such a cute birdie too. I have very simply stamped them both onto plain white card stock and highlighted with a stardust pen then cut and rounded the corners. All the PP has rounded corners.

For the key I have die cut from shrink plastic and coloured with cloudy blue Adirondack light, then I added an extra hole at the top before I heated to shrink. The ribbon section and main image have been raised on 3d foam. Click on images from a close look!

Materials:
Paper: BG - offbeat, , white card, frosted shrink plastic,
Stamps: Basic grey - offbeat - different strokes, offbeat - farmer's market,
Die's: Sizzix - keys, Corner rounder,
Ink: Colourbox Q's, Adirondack light - cloudy blue,

New Home

This is to cover two challenges, the new cute card blog and papertake...

Challenge #1 - New Beginnings
To celebrate the launch of our new challenge blog we would like you to use the theme of new beginnings or 1st's. This could be new baby, new home,new job, wedding or anything else 'new' or any other 1st you can think of.

Papertake Frame Card Tutorial!

Firstly I think the little house is very cute and the background paper is also on the cute side. It's for a couple moving to a new house and so I thought I would include their initials.

I have stamped the house on patterned paper and pieced with thin 3d foam. The windows I've added clear glaze but it's impossible to see in pic.

I thought I would have a go at the frame tutorial but instead of the square I went for an oval. After cutting the file folder I used oval nestatability put it through with embossing rubber and created the frame by cutting more diagonals. Cut the scallop frame with nestabilities to hide all the cuts then stamped swirl and positioned house insert.

By using the file folder I didn't need to cover the back... it went straight onto the backing paper, which I finished with faux stitching and eyelets!
