Celebrate with Epiphany Crafts

As we start to unwind from all the excitement of CHA we are still finding plenty of ways to celebrate with Epiphany Crafts! Today I want to share a couple of photo birthday cards I created using the pennant tool.  My daughter's birthday is next month and the photo cards will be a fun way for her to look back and reflect on how much she has grown.

 

Celebrate Today Photo Card

 

To create the card start with a 4.25 x 5.5 inch standard card base. Die cut a polaroid frame using the Silhouette or any other die cut machine you own. If you have a Silhouette machine you can download the Celebrate Polaroid Frame file I created for this card. Cut and adhere a small strip of patterned paper behind the word celebrate. Die cut or punch the word today from patterned paper and save the letters to use on another project. Use the Epiphany Crafts Pennant tool and bubble caps to punch around the negative space of each letter. Wrap twine around the bottom of the frame and adhere the letters to form a banner. Add a 3 x 3 photo to the back of the frame. Once you have added your photo and any additional embellishments mount the frame to the card base using dimensional adhesive.

Since this is a photo card you could die cut a paper easel and adhere it to the back of the card. This easel die cut using the Sizzix Small Easel Die will fold flat to send in the mail and allow the recipient to easily display the photo card if they choose.

Celebrate You Photo Card

 

The polaroid frame on this card was created the same way as first card with the addition of two small punched hearts around the pennant letters.

Instead of adding an easel to the back of the card you can also turn the polaroid frame into a magnet. To do this you need to die cut the the solid rectangle shape found in the provided file or you can cut your own to match the shape of any polaroid frame you choose to use. Run the rectangle shaped piece through the Xyron 5" Creative Station with the magnet cartridge or add magnet tape to the back of the shape. Decorate the polaroid frame as desired and adhere to the rectangle magnet base. Open the card base and adhere strips of magnet tape to the left side as shown above and cover with an additional piece of cardstock for a finished look.

Now the polaroid frame will will stay attached to the front of the card and the recipient can slip the polaroid frame off the card and add it to the refrigerator or any other place they would like to display the frame.
