Hey guys
I hope you've all had a lovely Easter and indulged in a few pieces of chocolate (or more if you are like me lol)....
So I thought I would mix it up a bit with a few die sets this week.
My original plan was all white, however I've decided to add just a little colour, to add a slight subtleness to my card.
Step 1
My base card is 8x8 as any smaller wouldn't work.
From the Spellbinders Die set Peekaboo Trellis Panels, I took the leafy panel and taped it to my card using low tack tape.
I secured it to the left hand side - not too close to the edge as your card could weaken too much.
Run this through your machine unfolded.
Step 2
Next I cut a piece of acetate and using double sided tape.
I attached it behind my panel on the inside of my card.
Now this is where I changed my mind to add colour....
I took a page from the Trimcraft Patterned Card Sheets Pack and cut this just slightly smaller than the card base. I glued this inside my card so this could be seen through my panel.
Step 3
The three panels on my card were cut from white and the left over card from my insert.
Measurements are:
▪️4¼ inches x 7 inches
▪️4 inches x 6¾ inches
▪️3½ inches x 6¼ inches
The largest I glued to my card base, and then the next two layers I used thin foam tape.
Step 4
The final part was cutting out all my die cut pieces. The sets I used were :-
▪️Creative Expressions Fairy Wishes Collection - Fluttering Ivy
▪️Creative Expressions Everlasting Love Collection - Rose Blossoms
▪️Creative Expressions Fairy Wishes Collection - Just For You
I cut four sets of flowers and three leaves in white card, and then used a thin ended Embossing Tool to crease my petals and leaves. I cut the fairy out in white too.
I had a small piece of the coloured Trimcraft card left, so I cut some of the butterflies from the Fluttering Ivy set.
In pale blue cut I cut out my sentiment "Just For You.”
I used a strong wet glue to add all pieces of my petals and then positioned onto my card front.
I finished by added some gold pearls to my flower centres.
A nice easy make card that could be used for any occasion.
Hope you like my card and will have a go and show your creations on our Facebook Group - Create With Craftmania And Jamie Rodgers.
Thanks everyone!
Have a crafty rest of the week and I will return next Wednesday for a brand new blog.
