Digi Man Squares Project

Hi Folks

Mags here to share a little inspiration for you.  I am a bit late posting this but hope you will forgive me.  Better late than never they say.

I would like to share how I created a male birthday card using digi man squares image.

The background is created by using a sheet of Little Claire ombre paper.  Cut the ombre paper into four squares and swap them around so that you have one dark and light piece at the top and the bottom.  Mount the ombre paper pieces onto some red card and wrap some blue ribbon from top to bottom and side to side.  

  

Cut out four pieces of red card and attach in each corner.  Colour the digi man squares image and apply each image over the red squares.  Add a sentiment and some square gems to the ribbon and the card is complete.

Hope you have enjoyed seeing this project and it has inspired you to have a go.

Bye for now

Digi Boxed Flowers - Digi Stamp Project

Hi Everyone

Mags here to share with you a little project using a cute digi image called Digi Boxed Flowers.

I love the effect of paper piecing so I wanted to show you how easy it is to paper piece using a digi stamp.  There are a few photos as I wanted to show you step by step how to master this technique.

1.  Print the image onto white cardstock.

 2. Choose the patterned paper that you want to use and use masking tape to attach it over the stamped image on the card.  Put the card through the printer again.  By doing it this way you ensure that the image does print on the patterned paper where you want it.

3.  Cut out the pieces you require.  In this case I cut out two flowers of each colour from the patterned paper and I also cut out all four flower squares as I wanted to mount them seperately onto coloured card.  For the contrasting colour card I cut out a large piece measuring 9.5cm by 20.5cm for the backing and a smaller piece 4.8cm by 18cm to mount the flower squares onto.  I also cut another piece of white card 9cm by 20cm.

4.  Attach the white card to the large contrasting card.  Place the smaller contrasting card in the centre of the card and place the flower squares on top.  Use the patterned flowers you have cut out to paper piece the flowers. 

5.  Finish the card by doing some doodling around the edges.  Add a gem to each corner and a peel off sentiment.  You can also add some glitter to the centre of the flowers.

I hope you have enjoyed this project and will have a go.  You will be surprised how easy it is and gives your digi stamps a new lease of life.
