Shed Birthday Card

 

Use a shed peel off to create this really cool card

When I first started card making, I bought a lot of peel off's as they were an easy way of creating an image. I found this shed peel off and decided to make this weeks blog card using it.

You can really go to town decorating the garden part - adding a fence, path, plant pots or fish pond. If you stick the shed to a white base card instead of the craft coloured one, then you could colour your shed with brighter colours.

If you do not have a shed peel off or stamp, then why not use a house peel off or stamp instead?  You could draw one, print an image from the internet or even use a photo.    

Follow the below link to find out how the card was made
You will need

• Shed peel off
• Craft card
• 2 shades of green card
• White card
• Small flower die or punch
• Grass hillside dies by lawn Fawn
• 5 small yellow gems and one small green gem
• Promarkers or colouring medium of your choice
• Glue
• Guillotine with cutting and scoring blades

1. Cut a sheet of A4 craft card in half. Fold in half to create an A6 base card
   
   
   


2. Open up the card and stick the shed peel off on the inside back of the card so the top of the shed nearly touches the top of the card
   
   
   


3. Cut down the spine of the card to where the shed peel off stars then cut around the shed, cutting the top back part of the card away
   
   
   


4. Close the card so you are looking at the back of the card and using a pencil draw around the hill on either side of the shed at it's base on the inside front of the card
   
   
   
   
   
   


5. Open the card up and draw a slightly domed hill joining the previous pencil lines
   
   
   


6. Cut along the pencil line, so that you end up with half a card on the front, in the shape of a hill and the shed from the inside now shows above the front of the card
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   


7. Cut 3 strips of green card to 10 . 5 cm wide and various heights (I cut 2 dark green and one light green). Use the grassy hillside dies to cut the top of each green strip. Make sure one of them is domed shaped so it matches the dome you cut the front card to
   
   
   
   
   
   


8. Glue the domed one to the front of the card so the grassy strands overhang the top of the front of the card
   
   
   


9. Glue the light green grassy card below the first one
   
   
   


10. Glue the last green strip below the light green one. It may overhang the bottom of the card - this is fine, just trim it away with scissors
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    


11. Stick a greeting peel off to the bottom right of the front of the base card. I used a 'Happy birthday' peel off that was on the shed peel off sheet
    
    
    


12. Die cut 5 small flowers from white card and glue them randomly over the grassy hills on the front of the card
    
    
    


13. Glue a small yellow gem to the centre of each white flower
    
    
    


14. I coloured in some parts of the shed using promarkers. Because the shed is stuck on craft card, alot of the colours will not show up. I therefore stuck to just colouring in some parts such as the roof and door with brown. I then stuck a small green gem on to the door handle
