The Boy Who Lived...

Hello everyone!  Welcome back to Heartcraftpaper.

This is very exciting for me because this is my first digital image release at the shop.  I figured what better way to start the grand opening of the shop than with a Harry Potter inspired theme.  

The image I chose to use for this card was Harold from the Wizarding release.  I hope that you find this inspirational!

**As you can probably hear there is a musical theme that is playing and if you wish to turn this off you can do so by scrolling down to the bottom of the post and press pause. 
Here are some of the times you will need:
  • Harold digital image
  • Wizarding Sentiments
  • White cardstock 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"  (only because I printed my image on 1/2 a letter paper)
  • Distress Ink (Mustard Seed & Candied Apple)
  • blending tool
  • Thin washi tape
  • In Line Dies (edging on the image)
  • Stitched Circle Frames (sentiment)
  • 3D foam squares
  • Black cardstock
  • Tacky Glue
  • Scissors

Watch the video below for the coloring.

Background

For this card we are going to make our own background pattern paper.  I think it's important to know that you don't always have to have printed paper to make your card since you can make your own patterns. 

​First, I taped off my white cardstock in a diagonal pattern with washi tape.  
1. Mask off your white card stock paper with washi tape in a diagonal pattern.

2. Nest you will blend in Mustard Seed Distress Ink across the whole paper. 
​

3. Now remove your washi tape & place over the yellow, then blend in Candied Apple Distress Ink.

Once you remove all the tape you will see you have created a beautiful yellow and red background to go with the theme.

I have trimmed down my image to 5" x 6" and used the In Line Dies to create a stitched boarder on the top and bottom of my card. 
Now that you have trimmed your image down you will use the black card stock to adhere your image to.  This will create a cute black boarder, creating a break for the eye.

Using the Quidditch from the sentiment pack listed above I created a curved banner.  I die cut the image with the mid and small size of the stitched circle dies listed above and then cut a fishtail to it using my scissors.

Don't forget to add a bit of color to your sentiment along the edges using the Candied Apple Distress ink.

We are almost done preparing all we need to build our card. Now you will need to trim down you patterned background to 5 1/2" X 6 1/2".  Glue down your image piece to this so that it is nice and centered.  Using double sided tape adhere your Image piece to your card base. 
Picture
Picture
All we need now are the sentiment pieces.  We will begin with our quidditch.  Add 3D adhesive squares to the back to give it dimension.  Place this in the upper left hand corner making sure not to cover up your image. 
Picture
Picture
First cut out the secondary sentiment in a rectangular shape freehand.  Then adhere the sentiment to black cardstock and again cut freehand so that it would have a 1/8" boarder all around.  The piece will be attached to the lower right hand corner.  Again, be mindful not to cover up your image. 
Picture

Now the finishing touches will be added with black Nuvo Crystal Drops on either side fo the 'Magical Birthday' sentiment.

The End!

I hope that you have enjoyed this how-to guide for this card.  I do hope to see you back for more tutorials and how-to's.

You are using your creativity in a very nice way that's why I couldn't help but to feel amazed by your skills. Being the inventor of Heartcraftpaper, I understand the pressure you're going through. There's always a need for you to come up with new concept for the art you'll be making and make sure that it's fresh for the eyes of many. I was not born to be a creative person so I must assume that I cannot do all the tasks you've been doing!
