Card no:30 - Easy Cards For Ramadhan

2010-08-01T18:34:00.001-07:00

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Dear Everyone
This is a simple and an easy card I made for my friends for Ramadhan
You will be needing some cardstock, in different colors, like brown and cream etc
Scissors, glue, flower of your choice, any floral stamp and brown ink and pen, that’s all.

Card Instructions

Step 1:

*Using your trimmer and glue or glue glider, make some 4 to 5 cards handy by pasting coffee color cardstock to cream ready Basic Cards (Landscape cards are 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″)

Note: One-quarter of an A4 sheet of card stock is also considered a standard card size.

Step 2:

*Using your brown ink (mine is Colorbox Chestnut Brown) just dab with the sponge at the sides of the card.

Step 3:

*Just cut two cardstock pieces, brown and cream and rough the sides of the cream cardstock with the scissors. See below.

Its easy, just rub the cutting side of the scissors, to the card edge, it will give the rough look like this one and paste them.

Step 4:

Make a flower with a rubber mat or plastic mat (left over) or you can use any flower of your own choice.

And make some stitch line at the sides of the flower.

Attach the flower to the card using glue, and put a button on the center of the flower.

Step 5:

Write some Card wordings on the cream card, which is on the top, with a brown pen.

Step 6:

Finally make some small frames by cutting some brown stock, in a square, then cut it into diagonal, and trimming the outer side abt ¼ inch. See below.

Attach them to the corners of the card at opposite directions.

And here you go, Your Card is Ready.

===========================================

The other card I also made with the same combinations,

See:

Write some card wordings and make stitching lines at the sides.

Using your stamps, (I use my own handmade stamp) stamp twice on the card with one turn of the ink pad so that you will get the light and dark shade of the ink, I hope you get it. See below.

Finally put some glitter or dust on the stamp flowers. That’s all!

Finished look.

====================================
Happy Cardmaking!

Thanks everyone..

Card no:29 - Another Special Bouquet Card.

2010-06-12T01:42:00.000-07:00

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
Hello Everyone!
This is Another Special Bouquet Card
For Our Another Arabic Teacher
On behalf of All the Students,
It is also a Thank you Card,
For Details check the step by step Instructions.
Thank you!

Tutorial
Dear friends,
The tutorial is almost the same as in my previous post, A Flower Bouquet Card (Card no.28)
only few things i have changed and used instead of other things, and the new thing about this card is i made two of the red roses myself (through quilling technique) and i have explained that through pictures below, so follow the instructions, and here you go!

*smiles*

Step 1
I crumbled the light brown paper, and opened and pressed with iron, to give it a distressed messy look.

Step 2
I tear it with the help of a steel ruler to the size i wanted on the card.

Step 3

Then Adhere the paper to the card using Roller tape (its the best) or you can use any glue stick.

Step 4
Then I made the Flower bouquet the same way i did before in (Flower Bouquet Card)
but this time i used some Handmade Red Roses and some ready made Peach Roses
See the instructions how i made the Red Roses below.

I Colour the Plain white silky leaves to Green leaves.

And Here is my Flower Bouquet which is ready to use on Card.

Step 5
I collected some mesh, in Red and Peach Colour and some Tieing stuff (its not a thread nor a ribbon, you can called it a string but its not that even *smiles*) you may have seen it on a cake or bakery boxes, which is wrapped/closed through this sort of a ribbon/string.

I neatly tie a Bow of that string, and attached the peach mesh with the school glue at the bottom.

I put the Red Mesh square under the Bouquet Diagonally, and added some dry stems into the bouquet and made the tag finally.

That's all!

======================================================

How to make Quilled Roses.

Materials You'll be needing are:

Thin Red Strip of paper ( I took 3/4 " x 12" long strip approx)
Quilling Tool or a Wooden tooth pick (you can use that too)
Tissue Dotted Ribbon (Any thick width wise Ribbon)
A Coloured Wire ( I used Green Wire)
Green Crepe Paper or Tissue Paper or Kite Paper (use some thin stuff)

Method:
Quilling Roses are easy to make,
use a Quiling tool or a wooden tooth pick (it works, I have done with that too)

Start rolling your red strip of paper, (if you are using a tooth pick, then do glue the strip at the very beginning, roll once and stick it there,using glue, then continue rolling, so it will not fall or come out)

So Start rolling the paper, make some spirals (swirls) then turn your strip at a 90 degree right angle, downwards, and keep rolling with that turning, (don't worry if it goes messy) turn again and again at 90 degrees downwards every time and keep rolling your tool, until you finish your strip.
Now just make it loose and glue the end of the Strip to the rose.

Diagram showing how to Roll and turn your strip.

Extras: For More different Rose Flower Tutorial CLICK HERE

I hope it will help you all.
===========================

After i made the roses, I cut the dotted tissue ribbon in square and the green kite paper in Star shape and attached them together to the rose, at the bottom and then wired the Rose.

This is the Ready bouquet which i used on the Card.

That's all Folks!
Happy Bouquet making!

Dear sisters, friends and Everyone!
This is a Special Card where i used some flowers and leaves and made a bouquet from them,

Its an easy Card, and it Turns out so beautiful.
I hope you all like it.

Check the Instructions for Details.
I have uploaded step by step pictures as well,
i hope it will help to understand clearly.

Thanks for visiting!

Tutorial

In this card I started with a brown sheet of paper, which I crumbled as much as I can (take a thick paper not very delicate ‘cause it will tear easily while crumbling) I crumbled and opened the paper then crumbled again so that I can get a whole distressed look, everywhere, then I pressed the sheet with iron to make it straight.
I tore the sides/edges with the help of a steel ruler, and tore in a distressed way, to get rough sides and corners.
Then I used a Thick (width) Floral tissue Ribbon (daisy flower Ribbon) and adhere it to the bottom of the card.
I string the top of the card with a thread and tie a bow, adding some beads at the end of the strings/threads.
Then I made a bouquet using off white Crepe Paper, you just have to make a fan of it, then tie thread/ribbon/strings at the bottom, and open it, and pressed it down to give it a crinkled look, I then added some readymade flowers (roses and sunflowers) and leaves, I attached it to the card center, with a tilted position, over the ribbon.
Finally I made the tag and wrote the wordings,
جزاك الله جنة الفردوس
May Allah reward you Jannah AlFirdous
In the End I Sprinkled some golden glitter to make everything Sparkle *smiles* thats all!

=======================================================
Step by Step instructions

Materials you will be needing....
(Sorry i dint use the glitter glue, i used some dry golden glitter instead, for sparkling)

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5

i just wrote the wordings finally and sprinkle some dry glitter all over the card

Dear Sisters, Friends
and Everyone!

I wanted to share a Sweet Card which is given to us by one of our Arabic teacher at the end of our Second Level of Arabic Classes, to all of her Students,
it was so nice of her,
She is so Creative and Talented (ماشاء الله)
And i Respect her a lot.

Method:

How she made this Card, i can't tell exactly, but as far as i know, she tore and burned the sides of the card, and pasted the Crepe paper Bouquet where she attached some fabric and ribbon flowers, and embellished it with gem stones, golden diamonds and leaves, and she closed the card through tying one end of the ribbon at the bouquet and the other end at the other side of the card, and inside she attached the ticket to an Open Day at our Institute and she kept a Poem card (an Arabic Poem), which was so heartfelt, that made us cry.

Anyways, I Liked the Card very much,
it was so sweet of her to give all her students the Same Pretty card.
(ماشاء الله لا قوة الا بالله)
May Allah accept this and Reward her for her work, Ameen.

(آمين يا رب العالمين)

Hi Everyone!
This is my First Arabic Card which I made for my Sweet Teacher at my Institute where I Study Arabic.
For Details, See the Tutorial and Instructions.
Thank you.

Tutorial:

I used a standard plain off white cardstock 5.5 x 8.5 inches = Ready folded card 5.5 x 4.25"
I made a background on a plain white texture sheet by Painting free hand with Aqua Blue and Light Green Acrylic Paints ,then with a corrector pen, ( I used ROCO whito pen) or you can use any white gel pen or white pointer, and with that I just draw some free hand floral designs on the painted background.
I cut the background paper a little shorter than the size of the card, to leave a little border all around and then pasted the background onto the card.
Before pasting the background I also ribboned the paper with a blue polka dot Ribbon below.
I attached a fringed flower I made with the quilling tool onto the Ribbon (click here to see How you can make a fringed flower/quilled flower)
Then i Wrote the Wordings
(لا بأس طهور انشاء الله)
on a white square which is attached to a green square.

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Hi Everyone!
This is an easy card but looks tricky, and i just made it very simply, see the instructions.

Tutorial:

Firstly, i just stamped some squares using Magic Markers on my handmade foam stamps,(square shape) (Markers: they are the markers on which if you use white marker, it changes its color) so i stamped and made some doodlings, and polka dots and lines, and i also embellished them with a button, a flower and a foam heart over three of the squares.
I cut the squares leaving a little border and arranged them on the card and adhered them with 3D foam ahdesives.
Next i pierced with the needle some dots in a kind of doodle line and made some stitching lines with black pen, and wrote "Thank you ever so much"
In the end i thought something is missing so i also put a yellow stamped flower with 3D foam and draw some stitching lines all around the card.

==============================================

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
Dear Everyone!
This is an Easy peasy Simple Card, Check the Tutorial for its Details.
Thank you.

Card Instructions:

In this card i just used a plain white card stock almost 4x8 inches, which is ready folded 4x4" square.

i just pasted a red card stock a little smaller than the card about 3 .5 x 3 .5 inches to give a little .25 inch border all around.

I cut a cream card stock about 2 .75 x 2.75 inches, and i cut a heart out of red card stock and paste it on a white sheet and cut the heart giving it a white border.

Then tie a red polka dot ribbon and adhere the whole thing on the card with 3D foams, to give it a dimensional look.

Ready finished Look

Thats all folks,

happy cardmaking!

Hi Everyone!
This is what i made For my Daughter's Teacher where she Study Arabic and Quran, I hope her teacher Liked it,
Its a Thank you Card.
See the Tutorial for Instructions.

Tutorial:

This is a very simple card. Firstly i just made the background using my own handmade stamps (foamic sheet stamps) And made the border with the black thick marker, all around.
Then i used the Printed Pattern Paper (printout from free Floral Doodle Kit, which i have posted previously about it), and layered it on a black sheet, leaving black border to all its sides.
Then i ribboned the Ribbon and put a floral button.
And finally i used a wrapping sheet square (rectangle) which is also layered on a black paper, and pasted onto the previous paper and ribbon.
At Last I wrote the wordings "Thank you so much"

2009-11-23T08:35:00.001-08:00

Tutorial

In this card I just draw some trees free hand and attached that to a cream n green colour card stock to give a little border, and then attached to the card with 3D foams.

Card no:9 - Handmade Floral stamped Card

2009-11-17T03:51:00.002-08:00

Technique:

This is also a very simple card, all i did is i made some floral stamps out of a foamic sheet (as i dont get any stamps here where i live) so all u have to do is to cut a circle and some petals from a foamic sheet and just paste them to a wooden surface ( a block) or any hard paper material (torn box hard surface) or on a hard acetate (transparency) this transparency method is the best as it is like clear stamping , you can even see your stamp where you are placing it, soo i just made some of them and painted them with acrylic paints with a sponge and STAMPED on this card at the below border, it almost finishes my card, thats it, u can embellish it with buttons, ribbons, or any cardstock/pattern paper, or any free hand drawn pic, as i did below.

Happy cardmaking!!
