Dirty Dozen Item...


Hey guys! Long time no post... LOL, okay, so it's only been a few days, but it feels like FOREVER. I've been really busy trying to get some things ready for a craft fair that I'm participating in on Saturday, so I haven't had time to make any new cards... Back into the gallery archives we go! :) This little 3D baby carriage was one of the items I made for the June Dirty Dozen Gallery.

Here's how it came together... I cut out two 4 1/2" circles using the George & Basics Shapes Cricut cartridge, then stamped the plaid pattern in Fresh Snow ink. Once the circles were dry, I cut off 1/4 from each circle (the 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock position). Next, I punched out four Basic Black circles, and lined them up on the circles and punched the holes for the brads. I attached them to each side of the carriage, and then put Tacky Strip along the outer edge of the inside of the carriage. I then attached the two sides together with a 2 1/2 x 11" piece of matching CS (giving a 1/4" scored edge along the length of the piece on each side). I found it was easier to create the curves by cutting slits into the scored pieces at every 1/2" or so. LOL, clear as mud? :) To finish up, I added a scalloped edge for the carriage top, a handle, and a little tag.

Well, back to the grind for me... Have a great day!! :)

  9. THAT. IS. INSANELY. CUTE. I looooove seeing things like this - - it's soooo inspiring (and that's not a cliche'). To see people create bigger and better things than "just a card" from our little papercrafting hobby makes me sooooo warm inside. This is really really well done; love it!
