Box Card

10/07/2008 | Posted by Tracy Wray aka Trak | | Edit Post



I was asked to make a very special card for a good friend of mine Jan from cats protection who this week is receiving an award for service and dedication to the cause. So i thought to myself i would make a nice box card, as you can see from the photos i used my bear dies and did a bit of embossing, mat and layering and of course sewing hehehe. I also embellished the box to match my card i also decorated the inside to match the outside of the card, the top part is left blank so we can all sign it..... Hope you like my little boxed card!

How to make a bigger bottle

10/01/2008 | Posted by Tracy Wray aka Trak | | Edit Post





I have had a few people ask what size my bottle die is and it is 11 x 4.8 cm, but you can make it taller, its really easy to do so i thought i would show you how i do it.

Step 1. Cut 2 bottles in what ever colours you want, and then cut them how i have, the bottle you want the to be the bottle colour only cut in half, the bottle you want to be the label colour cut 2 times it is up to you how big you want the label to be, but if you look at the photos you can see how i did mine.
Step 2. ink and chalk how you want, i aged my label white a light brown ink pad and the bottle i just edged with black, at this point you can also make the top for your bottle cut it how ever you want, you can use the left over card from the bottle you cut your label from, ink and chalk that to match.

Step 3. Now its time to put it together, for my label part i used a warm wishes stamp, stamp on the label part before you stick it onto the bottle. Now you can decide how tall you want your bottle just glue the top and bottom of the label and wiggle it about till you are happy with the size.... If you look at photo 3 you can see where the label should go.

Step 4. Now you can dress you bottle i went with simple just a green bow to match the bottle but you can add charms and glitter glue, you can do whatever you want:)

Now you should have a bottle that is about 15 x 4.8 cm without having to buy another die.... so simple and does not take long to do.... Have fun with it hugs trakxxx

Ginger Bread Men

9/29/2008 | Posted by Tracy Wray aka Trak | | Edit Post




Today I thought i would share with you all how to make really cute ginger bread men, all you need is Bear die #7, some cream card, a white gel pen, a black fine pen, petal pink liquid pearls, fruit punch stickles, and a white and brown pencil for high lighting.

Step one. Cut all the pieces from bear die #7 like i have in cream card, i have used the biggest nose for this ginger bread man, and i used the nose shape from the scruffy bear die for the eyes, ink and shade as normal, but make sure the bottom of the feet are a little darker so its looks like bottom on the foot.

Step 2 Add pink chalk to the cheeks and to the top of the belly, add the nose and the eyes and use the petal pink liquid pears for the mouth. Draw on the wavy lines for the icing with a white gel pen, and the eyes lashes with the black fine pen.

Step 3 stick all the bits together and you should have something that looks like mine, at this point you can add some high lights with your brown pencil and white pencil, just copy how i have done mine, but if you want to have a go on your own just add the brown pencil where there is a dent or groove in the card and add the white pencil to high light your lines and the any other area you wish.
Step 4. last step use the smallest eyes from bear die #7 for the candy buttons i just added fruit punch stickles to add that bit of bling...... and hey presto you should have something that looks like mine.... hope you have fun with this one.... hugs trak xxx
