Hi everyone I am up again with another tutorial using Memory Maze products. Today I have made a 6x6 inch card for you Firstly start with your 6x6 inch card base, I have used white for this. Cut your pattern paper at 5 7/8 x 5 7/8 inches and tape to your card base.  Then cut a second pattern paper at 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches.  Now with the second paper tear approx a 4 inch strip off the right hand side. Curl the torn edge and tape to the left side of your card base. Cut the smaller piece at 5 5/8 inches length wise. Curl the torn edge and tape to the left side as well. Paint all your chipboard pieces and while they are drying  cut a piece of the white glitter paper to fit inside the oval chipboard.  I turned my glitter paper over and traced the oval with a pencil then cut it out making a little bigger so I could glue to the back of the oval frame. Cover the oval frame, butterflies both metal and chipboard with the shabby white em...

Hi everyone welcome to my first 2019 blog post for Off The Rails . wow how time is flying. We the designers where set a challenge this month to choose another designers style. I t was hard but I chose Luciana Warnouski. I have been a follower of her for a long time. I just love her work. I choose this layout as it has white space and it is something I struggle with. I gave myself a double challenge to create a card using her layout. So here goes.... I made two baby cards one for a girl and one for a boy.

Hi everyone my turn again to showcase some chipboard from  Memory Maze. I decide to make another card. This is for an order so I thought I would kill two birds with one stone So the saying goes. I made a 6 x 6 inch easel card. This one is for a 2 year old boy. Who loves machinery. I found the front End loader and thought yes that was ideal. I firstly painted the loader with white paint. You can use gesso or paint for this. I had some sharpie pens on  my desk I used the yellow for the body and black for the tyres. I then gave the tyres only a coat of dimensional magic. While this was drying I found a happy Birthday word and inked it with some black ink. You may have to give a couple of coats to get a nice finish. I have also used an acrylic 2018 heart.
