Chariot Shaped Card Tutorial and Beckie's Blog Hop

Shaped Card Tutorial
Chariot Shaped Card
This card is specially made for my friend Beckie's Blog Hop.I have a "princess obsessed" 6year old little girl at home renovation and this card was entirely inspired  by her and I would say even designed by her!

The picture shows my little one's chariot "design" and the chariot shaped box we made according to her design!

She twirled paper strips on her fingers and added one of my quilled teardrops to make a topper for her chariot!I was stunned how she managed to make the final 3 D paper craft resemble her original design!!

I wanted to make a more sophisticated version of my daughter's chariot shaped box for my friend Beckie's blogversary hop but life and work got in the way and with just hours to her hop going live, I had to whip up this simpler version of a chariot shaped card.

Making this card was so simple I cant believe I had the basic framework in minutes!

  • Cut 2 large circles for the body of the chariot
  • Cut 4 small circles for the wheels. If you want it even simpler just use 2 wheels either on the front or back of the chariot card.
  • Optional step: cut a window on one of the large circles
  • Cut off a small potion from the top of the circle which will be the back of your chariot card .This helps your chariot shaped card to open and close perfectly.

  • Adhere a small piece of folded card [need not be a circle] on it as shown in the picture of the shaped card tutorial
  • Apply glue on the top leaf of your folded card piece and adhere the front circle of your chariot shaped card.

  • To help align the 2 sets of wheels first stick one set on the front of the chariot and use this as a guide to stick the other set to your chariot shaped card.

Your basic card is done.Now you can keep it simple or embellish it to your hearts content!
I  punched out a flower to add a design to the wheel and created a topper and curtains using the heart punch.Used photo paper to make some punchcraft flowers.

To make it even more girly, I made a bow using organza ribbon and added it to one of the wheels of my chariot.

My little critique was not too pleased with my adaptation of her chariot design and said I used the wrong embossing design [she is more familiar than me with all our embossing folders] and also accused me with a " you copied me"!! Ha Ha I had to take her to my draft post and show her I was giving her credit!! [My God are all 6 year olds like this !!!]
Supplies:Big shot,Nesting dies,embossing folder,pearlised paper,flower punch.
Edited: This card came top 3 at BGC and got the Ooo La La award at My Sheri Craftsand was featured at Itsy Bitsy
