Tutorial May

http://www.marions-scrapkaarten.blogspot.nl/

This month I want to share a chrochet project with you.
It is a very populair technique at the moment in my country.
It is my first chrochet work, so do not be to harsh on your judgement :).
I used a basic stitch for my work.

To get started you need this:
I used a baby food jar, but you can use any jar that you like.

After finishing my chrochet work, it looked like this:
Side view

Top view:

Bottom view:

Then the jummy part started, I had to eat the baby food, tasted dellish by the way :).
I cleaned the jar and filled it with stones and a little light:

After decorating this is the endresult:
I coloured Henry with distress markers and added liquid pearls on the bow as an extra touch.

I hope I have given you some inspiration.
Untill next month.
Hugs,
Marion

Hello!
Today is my turn to inspire you and my decision fall on a Fold Card with lots of space to embellish.
This is how my finished card looks like:

Hallo!
Heute bin ich an der Reihe euch zu inspirieren. Dafür habe ich mich für eine einfache Faltkarte entschieden, die viel Platz zum Gestalten bietet.
So sieht meine fertige Karte aus:

After opening the bow inside:

Here comes the instruction how you can do this Fold Card yourself.
You will need 4 pieces of cardstock to cut the card pieces:
Red lines are to fold

Hier ist eine Beschreibung wie ihr so eine Faltkarte selbst machen könnt.
Ihr braucht insgesamt 4 Papierzuschnitte aus Karton:
Die roten Linien sind zum Falten

After cutting all pieces you need, you can start to cut your designer papers and matting papers. My matting papers are all pink and 0,5 cm minor than the card templates.

Nach dem Zuschneiden aller Teile könnt ihr mit dem Zuschnitt von Papieren zum Matten anfangen. Meine sind alle rosa und 0,5 cm kleiner als die Angaben für die Kartenformen.

My designer papers are from the Spring Awakening Paper Pad and self-stamped papers with the Whiff of Joy “Essential Backgrounds Lovely Vintage, text style”. All designer papers shapes are cut 0,4 cm minor than the matting pieces.

Ich habe Design Papier aus dem Frühlings Erwachen Paper Pad verwendet und selbst gestempelte Papiere mit dem Whiff of Joy “Hintergrundstempel Lovely Vintage, Text“. Alle Design Paper Zuschnitte sind 0,4 cm kleiner als die Papiere zum Matten.

After finishing all the cutting glue all the shapes together. If you like, you can add some texture to your edge by using a sewing machine and white paint like I did.

Nach dem ganzen Zuschneiden klebt alle Teile zusammen. Wenn ihr mögt, könnt ihr noch mehr Textur an den Papierkanten erzeugen indem ihr sie mit einer Nähmaschine vernäht und mit weißer Farbe bepinseln.

The main work is done, now we can start to glue the papers to the card.

Die meiste Arbeit ist getan, jetzt kann man die Papierschichten auf die Karte kleben.

After covering all pages of the main card we can add the folding part inside our card. Add some double-sides adhesive tape and tape a ribbon to the background. This will help you to close the folding.

Nachdem unsere Karte mit Papieren umkleidet ist, können wir den faltbaren Teil in die Karte kleben. Verwendet zum Aufkleben doppelseitiges Klebeband und vergesst das Schleifenband nicht aufzukleben. Dieses hilft euch später die Faltung zu verschließen.

Stick the folding with ribbon to the card.
Klebt die Faltung mit dem Schleifenband in die Karte.

Add some papers to make it pretty.
Verkleidet alle Seiten mit Papier um alles schön zu machen.

This is how I used the little envelop and the tag.
Hier könnt ihr gut sehen, wie ich den kleinen Umschlag und den Tag verwendet habe.

Now your basic card form is finished. You can start to decorate and embellish it the way you like. I have used some Henry the mouse Vintage Images, sentiments, vintage style stamps, ribbon, lace, rhinestones in vintage brown, flowers, Lovely Doily die and some more stash.

Jetzt ist die Basis Karte fertig. Ihr könnt sie noch nach Lust und Laune dekorieren und bekleben. Ich habe auf meiner Karte einige Henry Motive aus der Vintage Kollektion verwendet, Sprüche, Vintage Stempel, Schleifenband, Spitze, Schmucksteine in vintage braun, Blümchen, Lovely Doily Stanze und noch einiges mehr.

Thanks for reading and have fun to use my inspiration.
Hugs, Natascha

Vielen Dank fürs Lesen und viel Spaß beim Nachbasteln.
LG, Natascha
