How to Make a Fairy Door Card

Making a Fairy Door card with Fairy Stamper. The door opens with a fairy inside.

card

The moment I saw the Fairy Door stamp, I knew the door needed to open. I chose to stamp on papers I had made with my Gelli plate. I enhanced those pieces and did a bit of fussy cutting. You can see the entire process in the video tutorial towards the bottom of this post.

fussy cut

The above image shows the Fairy Door stamp on a Gelli plate print after being fussy cut. The Gelli plate print dictates the colors that get used for the rest of the process.

After a bunch of different steps, the four pieces that make up the card are ready to be put together. In the end, I chose to color on top of the Fairy Door stamp but that could be easily done before the card is put together. I used enough foam tape that I was easily able to color on it after assembly.

Here is the card finished with the door open and the little fairy condo dweller answering the door.

Fairy Card with Heart Stems

Follow along to make this fairy card with heart stems. Lots of techniques included.

Today I am working with a stamp from Fairy Hugs called Alexa. She is joyful and playful so I added an array of three different colored heart stems behind her to amplify her action. The card doesn’t have a sentiment. I like leaving them blank until later so the card can be used for a variety of different occasions. I can always add a sentiment but changing one isn’t that easy.

Fairy Stamping and Gelli Plate Tutorial

Making a fairy card with a Gelli Plate background. #sponsored #affiliate @fairystamper

I have a video tutorial up on the Fairy Stampers YouTube channel. As a part of their video design team, I post tutorials twice a month. Today I am using a Gelli Plate to make the background image along with the Moana stamp fairy. The Gelli Plate technique I am using is with alcohol inks and acrylic paint. It is really fun and addictive.

DIY Fairy Lantern

How to DIY a fairy lantern in a plastic bottle.

Make a Fairy Jar or Fairy Lantern of your own with this free SVG file.

A DIY Fairy Lantern reminds me of childhood and stories of fantasy. It is really easy to make this fairy lantern. You don’t need a lot of materials and can personalize it as you desire. I made my fairy lantern in a plastic bottle so it is very kid-friendly and will not break. And, you can recycle a plastic bottle or jar to make your own fairy jar.

Materials:

bottle or mason jar
mod podge (mod podge at Dollar Tree)
paint brush
super glue (super glue at Dollar Tree)
fairy cut out
tissue paper
battery operated flicker light (flicker light at Dollar Tree)
ribbon
decoration

Instructions:

Download the free fairy SVG file.

Start with a clean bottle or jar

Using super glue, adhere the fairy to the inside of the jar. Don’t worry about the glue showing.

Cut the tissue paper to fit around the jar.

Cover the outside with mod podge

Line up the tissue paper and wrap it around the jar. Align the top edge, don’t worry about the bottom, it get’s tucked under. Wrinkles add to the personality, just be careful not to tear the tissue paper. Then cover it again with mod podge. Allow it to dry.

Decorate the rim as you desire. I used ribbon and paper cut out flowers.

Insert the flickering light and you are done!
