Wordle Birthday Card

By
As my son introduced me to the daily online Wordle game I just had to make a birthday card for him this year using that theme.  I was firstly inspired by a card I saw on the CraftWorld site by a fellow crafter and then those on Pinterest.

I die cut 30 little squares and enough white letters to spell out the four words from scraps of saved card mounted on a white panel with a matt layer in gold. The colour of the letter tiles indicate - a wrong letter (dark grey), a right letter in the right place (green), a right letter in the wrong place (gold) and white for the unused lines in the grid.  I printed off the six congratulation words and added 'splendid' on top of the white squares as that's the word that pops up when you solve the game in four tries.  My son has solved one of the games in a really lucky first word guess so he saw 'genius' pop up ... that has eluded me so far!


Right at the top of my main panel is a tab with my Wordle result for my game 263 solved in 4 out of 6 attempts.  Topper added to a piece of patterned paper from a pad that I've had for ages with a die cut 'Birthday' in gold with a green shadow and the other five congratulation words underneath.  Not my usual style of card but it was fun to do!

I've used - 5x7" white card blank
Xcut small square die
Trimcraft First Edition modern alphabet dies
Papermania Capsule Elements Wood paper
Funky Fossil sentiment die

Birthday Wishes Cake

Made my own mixed media background panel for this birthday cake card with inks, stencils, stamps, glitter paste, stencil butter and embossing powder.  You might have to zoom in to see the sparkle and shine.  A favourite three tier cake with chocolate sprinkles ... yum! For the background I started by blending two DO inks onto white cardstock.  Repeatedly placed the mandala stencil on top, spritzed with water and dabbed off with paper towel to create a faux bleach effect.  Glitter paste and stencil butter was applied through parts of the seed head stencil.  Embossing powder was sprinkled over the top of the stencil butter and heated once dry.  Random stamping with various inks. Three tier cake die cut from scraps of pearlised card for the layered toppings (white layer was an embossing folder scrap) and similarly inked card as the background panel for the bases which have stencilled white heat embossed wavy lines.  Added a birthday wishes word banner die in white pearlised card backed wi

Musical Crossword ... Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge

Set myself an additional challenge this week to combine a crossword stamp into the current  Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge  ... easy really just write the names of some instruments into the squares!  I also wanted to try the Retiform (grid) inking technique again and this is the end result. The crossword stamp was inked and embossed first before sponging distress ink along the edges of my paper masks to create several shaped areas into which I stamped musical instruments and notes using grey and black inks.  Finished off with an apt "Just a note to say ... " sentiment.

Tim Holtz Christmas

By

Today I'm sharing a couple of Christmas cards using two Tim Holtz die sets (Christmas circle words & festive repeats) which I've found are very versatile as many of the elements can be used all year round, a definite bonus.  This first little card has a die cut grid background and two hanging paper-pieced baubles for Dec 25th in grey and red with a splash of green foliage mounted on a grey matt layer. For my second card I chose to die cut the elements out of the white matt layer so the gold card base could show through.  I've had the gold die cut tree in my stash for such a long time so decided to emboss a tree on top for added texture and raised it on foam pads.  A lovely Christmas script sentiment was heat embossed with gold EP.
