Remote Control Card

Playstation3 Remote Control Birthday Card.

Fold black card stock to fit the template, the two flaps at the top should be scored and flipped back to the other side of the card.

Make sure the top part of the template is lined straight down with the folded part of the card. Trace the template and carefully cut to shape.

 

Flip the card around, see were the arrows is pointing trace the two flaps to form the triggers for the remote control and on that side only use a Stanly knife to cut the shape so they can flip up.

 

This is how it looks when the card is opened and standing upright, the two flaps are still down at this point.

 

Use 1", 1.5" and 2" circle punches on black card stock to make two sets of circles.

 

 

Layer the 2" circles down first with 3D foam as shown.  

Next add the 1.5" circles with 3D form and attach to the card. 

Before adding the two 1" circles cut two small pieces of paper into rectangle shapes and fold them to make the springs for the toggles.  

Then add double sided tape between the 1.5" and the 1" circles to attach the springs as shown by the arrow.  

This way the toggles have a bit of movement.

With the toggles sticking out and the triggers popping up from the card, the remote control is starting to take shape.

Make two cross shapes with double sided foam tape onto black card stock.

  

Cut around the tape leaving room right around this shape.  

Turn them around and add each shape to the center of the 2" circles.

On the left hand side of the control there are four small buttons and four small arrows.

I cut them out from black card stock and used the Xyron to add adhesive to the back of each piece and added them onto the remote control.

  

Add a rectangle and triangle shape with black card stock to the center of the control and with white gel pen add the words Sony, Select, Start.

On a small circle with black card stock add the control symbol placing this at the lower part of the control.

Then to finish the job on the left side of the control add symbol's X, circle, triangle and square with white gel pen.

Remote Control Birthday Card

 

With Brad's 12th Birthday approaching I wanted to make something different, something his into at the moment and as I was tidying up I happened to pick up a remote control and it hit me-a light bulb moment to make a remote control birthday card.  I went to work on it straight away.   To see the tutorial click here and the template click here.

Baby cards were a challenge for me but with the right stamps it turns into a project.

I used markers and a watercolour bush Aua Painter to colour the image.

Two-Step Stampin' and Stampin' Off

Technique A: Two-Step Stampin' 

1]   Stamp the base image.

2]   Position and stamp the overlay or adjoining image.

QUICK TIP Use lighter ink for the base image and darker ink for the overlying image.

Technique B: Stamping Off 

1]   Ink a stamp.

2]   Stamp the image.

3]   Restamp the image one or more times without re-inking it. 

This technique is a great way to get several shades of colour from a single ink pad.

 

QUICK TIP Use Stampin' Off to simulate movement on your card.

Heat and Stick Powder

1]   Stamp image with VersaMark or Craft Stampin' Pad.

2]   Apply Heat & Stick powder to the inked image. Shake off excess powder onto the Powder Pal 

and funnel it back into its container.

3]   Heat image with the heat tool just until powder turns to liquid. Do not overheat.

4]   Pour glitter onto the inked image, making sure that the image is coated completely.

5]   Shake off excess glitter as described in Step 2.

6]   Heat again briefly to set.

QUICK TIP Our Powder Pal is an excellent alternative to scratch paper for saving excess powder

and glitter. It also makes cleanup a snap!

 

Two-Step Stampin' Variations

       

 

Directions: Steppin' with Water

1. Color directly on the stamp with a Watercolor Wonder Crayon (Figure 1).
2. Spritz the stamp with water (Figure 2).
3. Stamp your image on card stock or watercolor paper (Figure 3).
4. To achieve a watercolored look with a Two-Step Stampin' set, ensure that the first image is 
5. completely dry before stamping the second image.

Steppin' Pastels

1. Stamp solid image in VersaMark ink on any neutral card stock.
2. Sponge pastels over solid image.
3. Stamp outline image in VersaMark ink over solid image.
4. Sponge pastels in a darker coordinating color, or even the same color, over the second stamped image.

Steppin' Through

1. Show your customers how they can create a fresh, modern look by stamping on transparency film. It's a simple way to add extra dimension to two-step images. Stamp the first image on card stock and the second image on transparency film using StazOn ink. Lay the film over the card stock, and you're done (Figure 4)!

Tweetie Birthday

 

Ink up your solid stamp images onto Stampin Up Whisper White card stock and press down firmly.  

I found using Stampin Up card stock perfect for solid stamping.

 

To make cutting easier I separated the images first using paper cutting scissors, scissors that are not razer sharp will end up a bit messy .

I use Stampin Up stamping set Good Friend and Petal Pizzazz.

When cutting your image out get as close as possible to your image and move the card stock not the scissors around your image when cutting, you will found this method easier and you will get a better look.

 

Once you have cut all your pieces out it should look this.  I used Stampin Up Classic Ink Pads - Green Galore, Pixie Pink Real Red for the flowers, Chocolate Chip for the legs, Tempting Turquoise for the bird and a Orange Marker for the Beak.

 

 

Before adding your stamped images onto your Stampin Up Whisper White card stock tie a ribbon right around and form a bow.

 

While the solid stamped images are not attached this is the perfect time to play around and move yours images around your white card stock and once you are happy with it, use double sided tape.

I also used 3D foam tape onto the flowers to give the raised affected.

 

Add your Happy Birthday stamp and then add double sided tape to the white card stock and mount to the base of your card using Stampin Up Pixie Pink card stock.

Snappy Birthday

Stamp with black ink onto white card stock and with red and black markers colour in the crab.

 

Trip around the image and colour the background with light blue and yellow markers, using Glu tack onto the sandy image to add Glitter powder.

 

Then with a pair of scissors ruffle the edges.

 

Using double sided tape at the back of this card to hold the end bits of the ribbon.

  

Mount the blue card stock onto the base of the card with double sided take and use 3D foam tape onto the image then add to the card.

 

Add a present to the image then stamp snappy birthday onto white card stock and use yellow chalk, layer this with two coloured card stock-red and blue and mount onto card with 3D foam tape.

Kissing

                                                              

Directions:

1. Ink a patterned stamp, such as one of our background stamps (Figure 1).
2. Press a solid, uninked stamp against the patterned stamp, transferring the pattern to the solid stamp (Figure 2).
3. Stamp the image on card stock.

Tip:

1. Try the technique in reverse. Follow the same steps as above, only use the patterned stamp to create an image, instead of the solid stamp.  In this case, the goal is not to add ink to the solid stamp but to take away ink from the pattern for a tone-on-tone look.

Stampin' Pastels

Technique A: Chalking 

 

1]   Apply pastel colour to your card stock or paper with a sponge-tip applicator, cotton swab, sponge dauber, or stiff paintbrush.

2]   Blend the colours as desired with the applicators or blender pen. When using blender pens, 

just touch the pen directly to the corner of the chalk to pick up the colour.

Technique B: Poppin' Pastels 

1]   Stamp the image with a white Craft Stampin' Pad or VersaMark ink pad.

2]   Use sponge daubers to apply the pastel colour directly to the ink.

3]   Blow off any excess powder. (Repeat this process if you are using this technique with a Two-Step Stampin' set.)

QUICK TIP To avoid smearing, gently dab the chalk rather than rubbing it across the image.
