Reaching the World for Autism

Copic Musketeers is having a very special challenge during the month of April:

"April is Autism month and we thought that this would be a great opportunity to do some good. We have a wonderful and sweet digi artist donating an image for this challenge; please welcome Stef from Glitterbabe’s Digis. She is a very remarkable woman and we adore her. Please visit her blog for the freebie. There is a special digi that she is also selling for Autism, please visit her store to purchase the digi and while you are there, take a look around at her digis, she really has some beauties and some cuties. The proceeds from the digi WILL BE going towards Autism."

Here is the link to the store: Glitterbabe’s Digis and please buy the digis, they are beautiful, and you would help this noble cause.

I tried to bring the message through a fun card, painting the ribbons and then using them as petals for a flower and the little twitter sharing the message:

Hope you like it.

Remember to join this challenge and follow the rules, the gifts are wonderful.

Love;

Julia

Accordion Card

These tutorials will help you create an accordion card like the one featured on my previous blog post.

Accordion Card

Materials and equipment:

Cardstock
Cricut
Design Studio (DS)
Cricut cartridge:
Bone folder

Procedure:

1. Cut the card using the DS file provided (download).

If you don’t have DS, Circut or the cartridge don’t worry, I have a template (follow the link, download and cut)

2. Score card with the bone folder where shown:

3. Fold the card (look at picture for reference). Use the bone folder for a crisp fold.

4. Decorate as desired, Have fun and be creative!

Miniature paper flowers

Materials:

Cardstock with white core
Mini brads
Misting bottle
Water

Procedure:

1. Cut four (4) flower shapes, I used Cricut cartridge Plantin Schoolbook, but you could use any flower die cut you have.

2. If your flower cut out doesn’t have a perforation in the center make one, being careful not to make it to big.

3. Place the flower shapes on a paper towel and spray lightly. Work one (1) at a time and don’t wet too much or they will break when you try to work with them.

4. Take the flower in your hands and squeeze it as tight as you can (see picture). This will give the shape to the petals and will bring out some of the white of the cardstock core.
