Pokemon Go Birthday Card

I made this very awesome card for my husband for his birthday. The front of the card looks like this: 


For those of you who are not pokemon-literate, this is an Onix. So the front says "Have an Onix-pected birthday". The font is pocket monk (if you need to change the words). The key to the pokemon alphabet is that the vowels are small letters and are on tope of the letters around them. So the colours of the letters are: yellow (255,203,0), dark blue (0,58,146), and light blue (129,200,254). Outline each of the yellow letters individually in the dark blue and then make the dark blue outline around the vowels go above the yellow of the letters around it. Here is the SVG of the front: SVG of the front of the card


This is the inside of the card. It is a stacked block pop up card. So print out the card to show the pokemon go background and then cut it out. Here is the SVG: SVG of the inside of the card


This is the cool part. Each of these blocks in the pop up card will have a pokeball stuck to the front of it. The pokeballs are an envelope that will contain a pokemon. In this file I have included koffing, pikachu, dragonite, eevee, gyrados, vaporeon, and snorlax. Some of my husbands favourite pokemon. Feel free to change the pokemon (google has all the pictures). The pokeballs go together very simply. The two black flaps fold over behind the front of the pokeball. I then taped it from the bottom (or the top) so that the pokemon stayed inside. Then I glued the pokeball bottoms (the black and white part) to the top of the pop up block. If you want to get fancy I thought a hinge at the corner would look better than the envelope. So this SVG is a print and cut. Let me know if the cuts are off for you. I have an outline around my pokeballs because it looks better in MTC, if that doesn't work for you let me know. Here is the SVG of the pokeballs: SVG of the pokeball file

Fall themed wedding favour bags and Josephine tassel

Image
These were quite fun to put together. As usual I didn't take a picture of the final project but what I really wanted to show you today is how to make the tassel. In order to make the tassel, you are going to start with 16 lengths of whatever string you are using. If you want a thicker tassel, use more lengths. Here I used kitchen twine. So the length of each piece of twine should be length of twine= (the length you want for the tassel)*2 + about 5" for the knot.  We are going to be following this knot type (it is called the Josephine knot): So here is what it looks like when you are doing it with a group of strings as opposed to just one. So to start you will split the pieces of twine into two piles (group A is the top one and group B is the bottom one): Then you will make a loop with group B: Then you will put group A under both parts of the loop of group B.  Then group A will go over top the right tail of group B. Then group A will go underneat

A D&D birthday card

Image
 This card is kind of neat. I used the plastic part from a glue tape roll and put a dice in that. I glued it to a piece of cardstock and then put a black ring around it to give it a finished look. The concept of the dice is that my son rolls it and then looks up the dice roll on the list that is a pull out from the side. I think lots of us get many of these plastic bubbles from various goods. What I did is to scan the plastic bubble and then pixel traced it in Make-The-Cut (MTC). It will have an inner shape and the outer shape. The inner shape gets cut out of the middle of the card. The inner and outer shape get cut out of the contrasting colour. For the slide out part, I attached a piece of ribbon to the back of the pull out and then fed it through the left of the pocket. I did this because I didn't want the insert to come out all the way. The MTC file for the project is here:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/schkshtl5hz29an/Murdock_Birthday_share.mtc?dl=0 The SVG file f

Thanksgiving blessing bag

Image
We gave away bags filled with yummies at a Thanksgiving dinner we had at our church. I made these tags to go with them: We made 40 of the bags and 60 people showed up to share in the feast. And it was like the fish and the loaves. We expected 40/50 and enough food for 80 people showed up and we were able to feed another group the next day.
