This card was created for my mom while she was job hunting over the last year. I thought the juxtaposition of a tiger-stripped kitten with the concept of an aggressive tiger was too fun...plus, I love this color combination. This is a standard A72 sized card (7"h x 5"w), which does require extra postage for mailing, and took about an hour to make. Most of the paper, the stickers, and the chipboard letters were purchased at Michaels, and the rest came from Archivers.
To create the card, I used:
1 sheet 12x12 Bazzil in Persimmon, cut to 10" x 7" and folded into card
1 sheet 12x12 Patterned Paper in Jubilee Pink & Teal Collage, cut to 4"x6"
1 sheet 8.5 x 11 Archivers Stock in Teal, cut to 4.5" x 6.5"
1 sheet 8.5 x 11 Bazzil in Paris
Distress Ink in Tea Dye
Ink blending tool
Distress Stickles in Mahogany
Calligraphy Cartridge and Cricut
Crystal Stickers Round - amber colored
Stardust Pen in clear
Jolees Boutique "Kitty Cat" stickers
Clever Lever Scalloped Circle Punch : Green and Pink sizes
Prima Flowers, assorted
Chipboard Alphabet Letters
Other: adhesive, paper trimmer, glue dots, dimensional foam adhesive.
Fold the card, teal cardstock and patterned paper to size. Ink edges with distress ink and adhere. Using Cricut, cut "go get 'em" from scrap persimmon cardstock, ink edges with distress ink, run through xyron sticker machine, and set aside. Punch larger scallop circle from "paris" cardstock and smaller scallop circle from scrap patterned paper and ink edges. Adhere smaller scallop to larger scallop, and then place kitty cat stickers on scallop. Use pop-dots to adhere to center of card. Spell out "tiger" from chipboard letters and adhere to bottom of card. Adhere the rest of sentiment to top of the card and color with stardust pen in clear. Adhere assorted prima flowers using glue dots, apply crystal round stickers and stickles and set aside to dry. Once dry, apply remaining stickers to interior of card, if desired.
