Happy Monday!!
LOL
I'm still shocked that Christmas is only a week away! Thankfully I have all the shopping and whatnot done, but I still have a couple of gifts to finish and haven't wrapped a thing......hopefully I'll get it done before the actual day arrives! Anywho on to the cards:
I had originally planned on making these cards more masculine - but then I came across my 6x6 pack of Basic Grey Blush paper and HAD to use it.
I pulled out GinaK's Way To Go set (this set still cracks me up (no pun intended) - I think it's hilarious!!) to make these and just had fun.
For the first one I stamped the images onto white card stock, colored them in with Copic markers then cut them out. I cut a slit in the toilet image to insert the plunger LOL.
I used different papers from the Basic Grey pack to make up the card. I used my Stampin' Up! Ticket Corner punch on the corners of the main image, then attached buttons to each corner with mini glue dots.
I also sewed the patterned paper onto the card base with my Janome Mini sewing machine.
...........................................................................................................................
Now THIS card doesn't look like a whole lot at first glance - but it's got something going on that I've been thinking about ever since I first got this set!!
I haven't seen anyone else do a card like this but you never know - needless to say I haven't seen one and I think my idea is brilliant ROFL!
I scored a piece of the Basic Grey paper 1/2" from the edge. I attached 1 half of a Basic Grey magnetic snap (right where the button is) to the backside of the "door" then adhered a piece of white card stock to fully cover it.
The other half of the snap is between the patterned paper making up the "wall" (behind the toilet paper) and the black card stock mat.
I then attached the "door" with silver brads and made a handle with a button and some linen thread and viola! A bathroom stall door that opens!
It's a pretty fancy stall but it was fun nonetheless *wink*
I stamped the sign from the stamp set, colored it then cut it out and "hung" it on the door with linen thread.
The patterned paper was again sewed onto the card base with my sewing machine and I stamped the sentiment twice (only inking up half at a time) to get it above and below the door.
Those magnetic snaps keep the door closed and are so thin they're not very noticeable - 2 of them together are about 1/8" thick??
So I hope y'all enjoyed the toilet humor and I'm off to get some housecleaning done!
