A table card tutorial for Jo's Scrap Shack (Little Blue Button Stamps images)

Hi everyone,

I won a Guest Designer spot at Jo's Scrap Shack and Jo suggested a tutorial to go along with it. I've made a couple of these shaped cards in the past and never showed how to create it so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to show Jo's crafty friends and mine how to make one of these cards.

It's one of my favourite shaped cards - A lady by the name of Katie K first gave me the idea after I saw her icecream stand card tutorial. I call it a table card but if there's a real name for it I'd love to know.

I have a lot of photos rather than writing as I think it's easier to follow but feel free to comment or email me if my instructions aren't easy to understand and I'll be happy to try and make them clearer. Here's my finished card (below) so you know what it is I'm doing the tutorial on, I used gorgeous girlies from Little Blue Button Stamps:

This was so much fun to create, I also paper pieced all of their dresses.

So here's how to create your own table card:

Once this shaped card has been created you can go ahead and decorate it with anything you like! Here are close ups of my card:

If you create one of these from my tutorial I would really love to see it so please email me or comment sending me a link to your blog post :)

This is my third table card so here's a couple of links to see the others for more ideas on decorating: a cupcake stand card and Love hearts for sale card.  I'm hoping to create and Christmas one soon.

Thank you again to my lovely blog friend Jo for asking me to be a guest designer, I have loved it!

Birthday wishes from a genie (Scrapper's Delights image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I've coloured up a cute little genie from Scrapper's Delights. I fussy cut her out and used foam tape to give her some dimension. The Bo Bunny paper did most of the work for me on this card but I did heat emboss the sentiment to match the genie.

Riding on my penny farthing (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you all are having a wonderful week. We usually have nothing but good luck (and we appreciate it A LOT!) but this week it's bad thing after bad thing (not devastating just bad)  and I'm determined not to let it get me down, creating is my therapy sometimes 😊 and I love sharing my creations on my blog. 

I hope you like this happy little card I made, the little girl is from Tiddly Inks, I think she's one of my fave digis, I just love her! After making a few Halloween cards it sure is nice to post a bright coloured one! I used pearls and a puffy cloud from Flourish with a Bling.

Never Judge a Witch by her Hat (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This Halloween witch has to be one of my favourite Halloween images, she's just gorgeous isn't she? You can find her at The Paper Shelter. I've used her before (a long time ago, I think my colouring has improved a little since then) so I've added it below. For this card I used my oxide inks to create the background using the Twisted Citron for the "glowing" areas. I mucked up some of the "bubbles" because I used a stencil when I should have done them freehand like the ones on the right side but this is how we learn isn't it hehe.
