Onsie Album Tutorial by DT Priyanka

Hola People!

Hope you are doing good! Today I am over at the RCS blog with another Tutorial. This time I am going to share with you a step by step instruction for making a "ONESIE ALBUM". This album is cuteness overloaded in every way & you can never get enough of looking at it..

Here is the glimpse of this adorable album..

Step-by-step on making a Onesie Album:

1. Preparing the Base: You can print out a Onesie shape on a printer sheet & cut it out to make the stencil or if you own a silhouette cameo you can also use that to cut out the base. My dimensions are 6.5"x4.5"
(Note: if you wish you can also choose to draw freehand)

(onesie shape stencil I cut out using my silhouette and cut out the rest using this) 

(traced the stencil on the rest of the sheets)

(cut out the traced onesies)

 

2. Choosing the right Patterned Paper: You can choose to pick any neutral colour or go with the traditional Pinks or blues for the onesie album. Here I have taken a neutral colour pp.Trace the design with a slightly smaller dimension from the base size as this will be adhered onto the base sheet to create an edge. For these I have taken the size 6.3"*4.3" (this varies a little as when we are making a software file of this sometimes it doesn't compress to the exact size on the curves and edges)
I forgot to take the picture of the traced & cut patterned papers)

(patterned papers)

 

3. Adhere the patterned papers onto the base (front & back) and punch on the top to put the binding rings/ribbon

(patterned papers adhered front and back on the base)

4.The base is now absolutely ready...!!

5.Embellish it!- This is the most fun part, you can add about almost anything to make these cuties look more beautiful.. resins, charms, sentiments, flowers, ribbons, notes, pictures and what not..!!
I have kept my embellishment on a lighter side you can add more if you wish.. :)

Voila!! Its R-E-A-D-Y!
Isn't it looking absolutely adorable...

Everyday Sentiment Cards by DT Ishani

Hello Dear crafters,

 

I love making cards and sending them to my dear ones. Am sure you love it too, especially to see or hear the joy when they receive it! Today, I am here to inspire you and encourage you with my cards.

 

Friendly Birds

My first card today is something I created primarily using dies and pretty patterned paper.

Materials: 

• White cardstock

• Pattern Paper

• Birdhouse dies

• Stitched circle

• Watercolours

• Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen

• Corner Chomper

• Die - cut sentiment

• Sequins

• Glue

I cut a circle on the front panel of the card base and just behind it, I did some watercoloring to create a scene of sky and grass. Then I cut a fence, birdhouses and birds out of dies and some patterned paper. I adhered behind the cut circle, the fence and one of the birdhouse so that they are on the upper panel. The other birdhouse was adhered inside the card, protruding till the cutout circle. Some glossy accents for the birds and spectrum noir for my background watercolour. I used a die cut sentiment, chomped off the upper corner and some added sequins to finish off my card.

 

Shaker card

Materials: 

• White cardstock

• Stamp

• Embossing powder

• Versamark ink

• Heat Tool

• Zig clean color brush pen

• Pattern Paper

• Scalloped square frame die

• Acetate sheet

• Foam tape

• Double sided tape

• Sequins  

For this, I stamped out a cake with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with a gold embossing powder. Then with zig clean colour brush pens, I coloured the cake and fussy cut it. For the shaker card I cut a frame from a Scalloped square die and similar to the dimensions of the frame, I cut an acetate sheet, a pattern paper with the birthday theme and the card stock.

On the base which is the card stock I stuck the pattern paper and glued the cake over it. I took the scalloped square die cut and adhered the acetate sheet with a strong tape. I treated the acetate sheet and the pattern paper with anti-static powder and then put foam tape at the edges of the card. Before placing the acetate sheet and sealing, I put some sequins on the card.

Hope you liked these cards and would try to make similar too! 

All above-mentioned products are available at the Rainbow Craftykari store or you can pre-order them by sending an e-mail to rainbowcraftykari@gmail.com.

Happy Crafting
