WWC #194 “Anything Goes” Challenge

Hello there, it’s time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge. This week being the 5th week of the month is an anything goes challenge.  You can make a card, a 3D project, a tag; you get the idea!

I decided to make a 3D card. I’ve seen quite a few of these around on Pinterest and thought I’d give it a go. It’s a pull-up card. It looks difficult but it’s really all about cutting, planning and then glueing!

I used Stampin Up inks in Pool Party. Tempting Turquiose, Island Indigo and Basic Black; Sycamore Street DSP; card stock in Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango and Whisper White and Watercolor Wings stamp set. The sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays ‘Bold Wishes’.

To make this card you’ll need:

• 4 pieces of 2″ x 12″ cardstock for your concertina strips
• Score along the 12″ side at 2″, 4″, 6″, 8″ & 10″
• 20 pieces of  1.3/4 x 1.3/4 plain card to mat
• 16 pieces of 1.1/2 x 1.1/2 of pattern paper to layer on top
• 4 pieces pf 1.1/2 x 1.1/2 pieces of white paper for the sentiments
• 1 piece of 6.1/4 x 6.1/4 cardstock for your base
• 1 piece of 6 x 6 pattern paper to layer on top of your base
• 2 pieces of 7/8 x 3.1/4 strips to hold your card together
• Some small circle die cuts to finish off the top where your ribbon will go
• Approximately 12″ of ribbon and the same of twine.

Assembly steps:

• I glued the little square pieces (plain cardstock, DSP and sentiment white cardstock) onto the concertina strips before I assembled it
• Glue the concertina pieces to the underside of your DSP square and then glue this piece to your plain cardstock base
• Then glue the 2 pieces of 7/8 x 3.1/4 together first then glue them down under the concertina strips at the top
• Punch a hole in the circles and push the ribbon through to hang it
• Then add the butterflies to the twine and glue the twine under the concertina top and bottom. You don’t need to do this bit but I thought it added some fun to the centre of the card.

Come join in the fun and make an anything goes project. Check out the projects that the artists at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges have created then take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post.

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way. Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals. So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more. View all posts by tinstar05
