Valentine Ideas

on Sunday, March 4, 2012
(i know valentine had passed, this post should be posted on the Vday, but i have some problems with the editing&uploading video, so hope u guys enjoy! and it also can be the birthday gift, anniversary ideas or it can be gift back for White Day ! haha :D )

(sorry for the low quality video, i dont own a nice camera >,<)
as u watch, it is my valentine gift for him :)
at the first i want to make a pop up card with this template
so cute right? when u open it, the couple will kiss together!
i saw it at youtube and found the website
but... i must pay to get the template
i thought it was free :/
at the second, suddenly i remind i have ever seen xiaxue's guide to life video and it is about gift wrapping, and there was an popupcard! and xiaxue write the link at her video which is www.robertsabuda.com
moreover it is ..
FREE!!

so, this is how i made the popupcards, i am not the professional one, i dont the exact way to do it, i just do my way, so if i have made wrong u can correct me :)

first, print out the template on the cardstock
i use the greyish silver metalic one for the base colour, the colour is really stunning, 
butt.. cuz my camera .... haiiis... forget it! the inside i want it to be a starry look, thats why i using the greyish silver metalic card stock and the glittering dust
then, cut it out
quite cute yey?? looks like a skeleton to,hahahhaa

i bought 6 jars of the glitter dust, i  got the red,silver,gold,blue,purple, and green for about Rp 25.000,- and it is quite cheap !
so i worked on half heart first, i used another paper to cover the small heart 
and i worked on a paper,  so u can pour back the excess dust, dont waste it ! and it is more easier to clean up 

this is the final look, and i decided to glue the silver dust on the 2 small hearts :) 

*note* : i use a liquid glue for the red heart,  i tried double-taped on the small heart and it is more convenient n nicer, cuz when it hasnt dry at all  ,in case if u scratch on the heart , the dust will fall out and u must fill up the gap again and it is annoying !!!
moreover using the double-taped ,the dust will spread evenly, but one of the weakness is the shape of double-taped is rectangle, and heart shape is an irregular shape, so u must to adjust it to a heart shape

so move on to the outside design of the card, while the outside i want it to be romantic


umm.. i dont know do u think it is romantic or not! hahah forget it
(sorry that i didnt take the picture of these few steps)
so i used a lace, at the first i just use double-taped but it found it is not really secure, so i sewed it with black thread
the lamp is inspired from beauty department, actually it is a nail design but i used on the popupcard :)
first, draw a the line with pencil
then i pour a liquid glue on a paper, use a run-out ink pen, dipped on the glue, and follow the line that u drew before
then with the black thread, slowly glue it on the line that u have drawn before
so u got it as a cable!
with the gold and silver pen draw the lamp, of course u can try with another colours!
and i decided to add the red heart sticker so it wont be boring !
while the back..
 and the remain of the lace, it glue it to the back, i used a thin double-taped, stick to it and  there are gaps on the lace, so i pour some silver dust, can u see it? i love this detail most!
and i added the mushroom sticker to the center of the below part of the card :)

and did u see the round corner?
i didnt use a punch to create it cause i dont own it and it is so unneeded to buy one so here is my trick :
yes, just find around your house, i use a file clip which got the round corner
anything which has the round corner u can use it !
so u just need to adjust it to the corner, use a pencil to draw the rounded corner and then u just cut it out !

here is the final result of my popupcard :)
btw, there are so many gaps >,<
i hope u enjoy my blog, yey ! :)
