TASMANIA CARD

FRONT

Middle

This card was made in a recent Regal Craft Cards demo by Anna Wilson.  Its based on Regal's three panel textured white aperture card with a Tasmania cut-out.

Anna has given equal attention to the front, middle and back of the card, using some lovely Darkroom Door Stamps and lots of inks!  The right hand inner panel has been embossed and a smooth oval added for easy writing.  Notice how effective the inking is on the textured surface of the card - who says we can only use smooth cards for stamping!!!

Regal has a variety of different aperture cards ranging from straightforward shapes such as ovals and rectangles to more "exotic" offerings such as dolphins and frogs!!

AUSTRALIA DAY CARD

You still have time to celebrate Australia Day on Monday with this cut card.

Marilyn has stamped the Stamp-It koala in black ink and added a little shading with coloured pens.  She's matted it on a dark card and then fixed it on top of torn layers of Core card and a little Kaiser scrapbooking paper.

You'd have to be extra speedy to finish it in 5 minutes but its quite do-able in 10!  If you love making cards and always have more than you need, why not give your friends a surprise for Australia Day!

WITH LOVE - PINK ROSES AND BUTTERFLY

ONE FOR THE LADIES

Tania has made a charming feminine card, using a square textured ivory singlefold card from Regal Craft Cards as a base.

She has incorporated a butterfly, stamped with brown ink onto an oval cut from Kraft cardstock, as well as lace and ribbon, and paper roses.  The "Love" on the small die-cut panel is made from metallic gold alphabet stickers, coloured with a brown permanent marker.  Tania has added a finishing touch with adhesive pearls.

Its worth noting that three different patterned papers have been used in addition to the plain.  It pays to be careful when doing this, but Tania has chosen well and they blend together beautifully.
Note too, how she has tied a piece of grosgrain ribbon around the lace in a know, and trimmed the edges to ive the impression of a bow.

DL EASEL CARD

3D EASEL CARD

What a great idea from Tania - turning a three panel Regal DL card into an easel card.

Just cut off the third panel, fold the back panel in half and mount the cut-off panel onto the front of the fold.  All you need to do then is add something for the edge of the folded panel to rest against - in this case a stamped greeting, matted on card, decorated with punched flowers and mounted with low foam tape.

Tania has used a 3D picture panel from the Sparklelight range as her main decoration, and has co ordinated her papers, corners and edging.

QUICK BABY CARD

A CARD FOR A BABY BOY

What better way to start the new year, than a card for a new baby.
Marilyn has used some simple materials to achieve a clean but cute result - just some striped paper, and a couple of plain blues coupled with some stickers.  All of which are stuck on top of a white textured singlefold card from Regal Craft Cards.

You could easily adapt the design by using different colours, and/or substituting the stickers for stamps or diecuts.
