Mad Hatter Shaker Keychain

Mad Hatter Shaker Keychain

Infinity Engraving Project


This was a fun project to make. I love making shaker cards. I make a lot of different kinds of shaker cards. So at first I thought this would be a really nice shaker card, but then I got to thinking that maybe a keychain would be better. Something that would be different, I do love making jewelry. 


This is what you would buy from Infinity Engraving.


This is the things you will need to make this project. 
1. A drill of some kind  2. Pliers  
3. Paint  4. Paint brush  5. wire
6. Keychain findings  
7. paper  8. pin  9. glue   
 11. beads three different colors

 

Drill a hole in the upper left corner.

Glue each layer together, all but the clear piece and the top layer.


Paint the inside of the circle white so that the beads will show up. Let it dry


Paint the top piece and the back of the bottom piece. 


Put the beads in the circle and glue the plastic piece on top, and glue the last piece of chipboard that you pained on the very top. 


You will then wright the 10/6 on the white paper and glue it on and add the keychain finding to finish it up, I really enjoyed doing this project. If you would like to make one just head on over to the infinity Engraving website and get your pieces to make it. Here is the link

Steam Punk Altered CD

Chipboard project or technique



I had the swap that I joined and it was alter a CD  in steampunk. So Infinity sales these wonderful gears, I knew what I was going to do.



I gathered up all my supplies. This is what you will need to complete the project. 
1. CD  2. Paper of your choice   3. stamps from heartfelt creations
4. brown ink  5. inked lace  6. buttons, 7. key 
8. cloths pins inked  9. model paint in silver, gold, and copper
10. metal mesh  11. sizzors
11. chipboard gears from infinity engraving


Start by painting all of the chipboard pieces.  Fussy cut out the stamped images.
You will need two clocks and two globes.  Put 3D foam between the images so the will look 3D. 


Trace the back of the Cd then cut paper and glue to CD on both sides. I used hot glue to glue everything down. I started with the big gears glued them down on the bottom and continued to layer each thing on the Cd



This is how it turned out. It was a lot of fun making it. The nice thing about steam is that there is no wrong way to do it. Just as long as it looks old, distressed or used it will  work. The think that made this such a wonderful project is the Infinity Engraving sales the gears and you can paint them the colors that you want. This is the web sight so you can go buy some gears.

 St Patrick's Day Card



Project using printable image


This is a card I made with the printable image the was given to us to make something out of it. I love making cards for everything. When I saw this image I fell in love with it. Infinity Engraving put the image up as the challenge image. We were to put a button and some lace in it. 


I first printed my images then chose the paper that I liked. I think the hardest part of card making is picking your paper.


I then gathered my supplies. This is what you will need to complete your card.
1.Printer image   2. Three different kinds of paper
3. glue  4. paper cutter  5. glue
6. ink pad and ink dober  7. sizzors
8. stickles  9. button  10. lace


Cut you paper to the size of the card you want it to be. I did a 5" by a 6 and a 1/2 " card. I then cut my first layer 1/8 'smaller than the card base,  the next layer 1/8 "small the that layer . I than inked the sides of the image.


I glued down each piece of paper and added the clover stickers to the side. I than put stickles on all the clovers so they would be sparkly. 


I added the lace to the side, put a cute green bow on her head, and added the button at the bottom.


I opened the card and put a few stickers to decorate the inside of the card. This was a easy and fun card to make. Infinity Engraving finds the best images to make cards with.


Thank you for taking the time to see what I made and I hope you will try it for yourself.

Easter Card

EASTER CARD

Card and Sketch


When I saw the chip board cross, I got so excited, I knew what I was going to make with it. I love making cards and am always looking for different ways to make them. I first had to do my sketch of what I was going to make, then gather my supplies


This is the sketch that I did for the card


  
 


Supplies that you will need to complete your card

1. Cross Chipboard from (Infinity Engraving)
2. Glitter    3. Mod Podge
4. Paint brush     5. Pick tool
6. Glitter paper for the sentiment
7. Stickles for wings of butterfly
8. Four different colors of paper
9. Jute Cord     10. Dies (Stamps of life)
11. Embossing folder (Cuttlebug)
12. Pearls (Infinity Engraving) 
13. glue   14. Foam Squares
15. Ink   16. Paper cutter 
17. Crop-A-Dile corner chomper
18. Butterfly punch (Martha Stewart)

  

I started with the cross, so that it  would have time to dry while I prepared the rest of the card. I first brushed on Mod Podge then sprinkled the glitter over the Mod Podge. I wanted to do two colors so that the words would stand out. I let it dry for a half hour, and took my pick and cleaned up all round the letters so you could read the letters better. I set it aside to dry.

I picked out my paper to go with the glitter from my cross. Cut the paper to the size that that I thought the cross would look good on. The size I chose was 4, 1/4 x 8 ,1/2 not folded in half. I cut out 2 more pieces of paper 1/8 " smaller the each other. Chopped the corners off of the the right side on all the layers and the base layer. I then embossed the top layer paper,and punched out the butterflies. Die cut the Word Blessing and the bottom layer to. I then glittered the wings of the butterfly and added the little pearls to the middle of the butterfly. Cut my jute cord.


I inked around all the sides of the paper, glued them in place and added the cross, butterfly and took the jute cord and tied it around the card with a simple knote. This was a very fun card to make. I very much had fun making it. Infinity Engraving has so many choices of chip boards to use for most any project, or even a card. You should go and look at there web page and see.

Valentine Day Card

                                 VALENTINE DAY CARD 

Project using printable image

                              


I used the  free image for the month for this project, I printed out two of the images.  When I saw the image I was so excited to make a card with it.  One of the things my husband loves when I make cards for him.  He likes how I give most of my cards a 3D look to them. I did some fussy cutting and 3D foam squares to make it not lay flat. 



The supplies you will need ....

1, Print out the image
2. Card base I used red,  
3. Three  layers of different colored  (design paper to layer)
4. Scissors small sharp 
5. Glue ( I like Tombo  glue the best)
6. 3D Foam squares
7. Ink for the edges 
8. Twine
9. Hole punch



I first fussy cut out the image. Turn over the pieces and put the 3D Foam squares on the back. Make sure you put enough on them so they lay down without a bow in the middle. Make sure to put thin in the middle of the image.


With you second image, punch the hole in the image where the twin will go through to the back. Bring the twin in from the back to make a bow for the top just like it is printed on the image.  Do the same for the two other bows. Put twin wherever you see that the twin needs to go. Then place the cut out images with the foam dots on them over the image.  You will then have a 3D image.


Cut all your layering pieces of paper. Cut each layer about 1/4 " smaller then the one under it so you get a nice even look. Glue down each layer. You are done. I went to Infinity Engraving  to get my images. Love Love the images that they give to everyone to use.
