My DT card for OSAAT challenge 83

Here is my DT card for our challenge over at OSAAT this week - the challenge theme is Anything Goes, a nice easy one so why not come over and join in HERE

Our sponsors this week are

and



I have made another multi panel card similar to my Ollie and Olga one I posted earlier. I am going to give you all the measurements later in this post as I have had a few emails asking for them.

I was given this lovely image called Isobelle to play with by Sylvies Stamps which is available HERE isn't she adorable! I have coloured her with Copics.

So first of all I made my base card and printed two lovely backing papers from my Nitwits Collection called Tippy Toes. I then mat and layered these onto pink card and then stuck onto the different panels of the card. I have printed out the Ballet wording image and stuck to the the front panel and added ribbon and a bow above before sticking to the front panel to hide the ends of ribbon.

I have also printed out some ballet shoes and a pink tutu from the same Nitwit download and added those to the image panel.

I am entering this card into the following challenges

As promised my instructions for this card, - you will need 1 piece of A4 card

With the 21cm along the top - cut in half - so at 10.5cm mark. You should now have 2 strips 10.5cm wide by 29.7cm long

Take one strip of card and with the 29.7cm edge along the top score at 2cm, 7cm, and 22cm

Take the other strip of card again with the 29.7cm edge along the top score at 15cm and 22.5cm

I don't fold my score lines until I have joined the 2 strips together.

Now take the second strip with the 15cm panel towards the left and overlap the first strip upto the 22cm mark (which should be towards the right) and glue or stick down with double sided tape.

You will now have a join approx half way down the 15cm panel but it will be on the back of the card - if you don't want the join to show then just cut a piece of card measuring 15cm x 10.5 and stick over the entire panel.

Then have fun decorating whichever panels you want to decorate. You have the option of adding a velcro dot to the 2cm panel and the other side of the velcro dot to the back of the 15cm panel to join the image panel and back panel together if that makes sense but I have not done so on either of my cards.

Any problems please message me or email me and I will do my best to help.

A quad easel card for Tonys 70th Birthday

From one side
From the other side
From above

I don't have a DT card for OSAAT this week as I did not receive an image to play with so I thought I would post a recent card I made for my Mum's partner Tony for his 70th Birthday.

He is an avid bird watcher so I thought I would make a card with digi images of 2 owls and 2 birds, I downloaded the free images ages ago from Craft Gossip and thought I would make my very first quad easel card.

First of all I made a base card out of A3 card, it measured approx 8.5 x 8.5 inches and then covered it with some pretty papers from the new Summers End Nitwit Collection.

I then made 4 slanted easel cards from card measuring 8 x 4 inches to start and then added the images to the 4 easel cards after matting and layering onto some brown paper and more patterned paper and then just stuck them onto the top of the base card.

I printed off 4 labels from the summers end collection after adding the words Happy, 70th, Birthday and Tony onto them in word and stuck on the base card, they don't need to act as stoppers for the easels as the way they are displayed upright they support each other in the right position.

I then added some brown Card Candy from Craftwork cards to each image square and the base to finish it off.

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges
