Hybrid Memory Game Tutorial

July 29th, 2010 Ellie No comments

Hey all! Now if you’ve had a look at this week’s Sneek Peek, you’ll see it’s all about animals this week and I’m going to walk you through one of SuzyQ’s hybrid new releases :) By the way, if you visit this Sneek Peek blog post and leave a comment you could win one of seven new releases!

Anyway, this is what we’re going to be making today, click on the image to take you to it in store where there’s 20% off for one week! Oh and there’s also a land animals version of the game too ;)

So first I opened up the files in Photoshop and printed out two copies of each of the card pages and one copy of the box. Because glue and I do not get on, I decided to print the playing card pictures and backs onto adhesive inkjet paper (basically A$ or letter sized sticker paper) but you can of course print straight onto card or even paper to stick onto card.
If printing onto adhesive inkjet paper make sure you leave the sheets for about 15 minutes on a flat surface to allow the ink to dry properly and avoid curling.
The box I printed onto 250gsm card. I haven’t got inkjet card hence why the colours aren’t quite as bold for the box compared to the cards.

I decided to make the card box first, so I scored along the fold lines BEFORE I cut it out. I find it easier to do it that way.

Here’s what it looks like with all the score lines

Next I cut it out and folded along my score lines. Did I mention that glue & I do not get on?? lol Because of that I’m using double sided tape to stick my box together. You can see that I’ve stuck tape to the side flap and the small bottom tabs.

Then I stick the box together, using a ruler (or something similar) to push the small bottom tabs down inside the box so they stick properly.

Then I put double sided tape on the Ocean Critters badge to stick on the front and that’s my box done!

Now onto the cards!

First I trimmed the A4 (letter sized) edges of the card backs loosely and stuck them onto 250gsm card.

Then I trimmed all the card backs and fronts into rectangles – leaving the corners square at this point.

Then I peeled the back of the adhesive paper on the card fronts and stuck them onto the card backs, making sure the card backs were the right way up. Once they were stuck together I went through each card and trimmed the corners to make them round and also trim off any excess where I hadn’t managed to stick the fronts on quite straight enough.

And here’s the end result!

And here’s my kiddies playing with the finished game!

Thanks to SuzyQ for creating an awesome project for me to make!

July 9th, 2010 Ellie 7 comments

Now because SuzyQ has been so hard at work and has done so many new products for you this week I’m just going to get straight on with the show!

First up is a word art pack for those special adoption peeps out there. This set co-ordinates with the rest of this weeks releases ;)

Next up is a super duper ultimate bundle! You can buy all of this weeks releases except the Adoption Word Art and Digital Stamps in this bundle. That’s 11 brand new products that all co-ordinate with each other which creates a saving of 35% compared to buying them separately. Now if you buy the bundle while it’s in the market as Fresh Fruit (so until July 15th) you can save an ADDITIONAL  20%! So instead of paying $48 you can get it for just under $25! And here it is…

And of course each bundle that’s shown in the Ultimate Bundle is available seperately and each product is available seperately as well!

So here’s what’s in the Kit Bundle

(First two layouts below use the alpha from Lil’ Munchkin)

Next up is the Alpha Bundle…here’s what’s included…

Next is the Hybrid Printables Bundle, and here’s what you get inside…

So that’s all the bundles! The last two products I have to show you are not available in any bundles…thefirst are in an Oopsie-Doodle range kind of style, the second version are ‘cleaner’ – No commercial use use though peeps…

Now all week long we’ve been having a blog party going on. During the party the collection has already been given away to some lucky fans! But you won’t leave here empty handed as SuzyQ has made you a freebie! Just click on the image to download :)

Enjoy!
