Good afternoon, today I thought I would share with you all a rather special card. I don't very often share what I've made for all of my family, but I rather really liked this one, which is for our youngest grandson 'Harry' who is going to be 11 on saturday.
He like lots of other children now a days really loves his X Box so I thought what if ?
And after alot of time and effort by myself and my lovely hubby Nathan, who drew me the template for the control, which I then had to make symmetrical, cut into different layers and add all of the buttons and switches, which took me sometime I can tell you to do lol...........
All of the circles I've used are from the die set called 'shark dies' which are actually retiring 30th June so if you'd like to grab them hurry before they go forever! It's just the one die that cuts them all together, multiple times.
The dsp is also from a pack that is going to be retiring called 'Well suited'. I just thought this particular sheet leant itself to a tech card.
The control itself I cut out 3 layers for it and glued them all together, each layer was cut slightly differently than the others.
For the A B Y and X buttons I struggled at first but then realised if I drew in thick pencil the letters, onto pacific point cardstock and then coloured the rest of the circle in with the 'Basic black' stampin' write marker, rubbed the pencil marks out and as you can see I was left with the blue letters, voila it was like magic!
The long oblong button was made by drawing round 3 of the smaller circles layed together just making sure that when I cut them out the top and bottom were cut straight rather than curved.
The large black button with the X on it was easy I just needed to cut the top circle layer into a cross and then after giving it a curl I just added glue to the centre reverse side of it and attached it to the other ones. As for the large white button with the blue X on it this was just drawn on using the 'Pacific point' stampin' write marker and curved from the back to make it looked like it was a raised button from the top.
The embossed layer was too wide for the embossing folder but I liked the way it had the small plain border down the side, I thought it looked quite cool like this.
I think the rest of the bits are self explanatory, all I know is it took me a long time to make, but I thoroughly enjoyed doing it, and that's why I wanted to share it with you all.
Hope you liked it
Until next time
