Welcome to Keep It Simple, Stampers! My name is Joanne Cantrell and I am from a tiny little town in the middle of the United States. Thank you so much for stopping by to see my project today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone posted a wonderful card on Facebook that sparked my imagination. It was a dragon that was created by using the new petal punch. I thought it was a great idea. If I had a picture of it, I’d show it to you, but I don’t remember who posted it and it was a while back. But, That was my inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, if you saw my last post, you have learned about how I am the maid with the dirty house. I create cards by the hundreds but I am the absolute worst when it comes to sending cards!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I made this card. With a purpose. To send it to my nephew. For his birthday. In a couple weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My nephew has bearded dragons, so I was trying to make a card that looked like them. I failed miserably. See the dragon below for reference! His name is Spike!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I’ll give you a couple photos of how I created this card, then I’ll continue with my story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the colors I used…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I sponged the edges of the punched pieces using these colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the punches used…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The scales were all punched using the bulb punch. The teeth are the leaves from the leaf punch. The circle punches and starburst punch created the eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and, a little glimpse at how I lined up the scales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I did try to do it by eye, but then the rows were getting all wonky, so I drew some lines. I used Tombow Multipurpose glue – in a line along the wide part of the bulbs. You can see a little of it peeking up between the bulbs in that top row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I finished the rows, and figured out how to make the top of the slider… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, did I forget to mention this card is a gift card holder and it slides up. It is a Pocket card or whatever it is called these days<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… anyway… It was looking like an owl so I added the silly eyes and the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is my mandatory close-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And here is the full card pulled out…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, without the gift card in it’s pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I hope you enjoyed this project. I look forward to seeing you again! Now it’s time to hop along and see what every one else has for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
