Happy Wednesday Crafters!
I have a nice and easy card for you to make this week, and is open to many opportunities.....
We all hate making Sympathy or Thinking Of You cards; so this is a simple and subtle card design - ideal for letting someone know you are thinking of them.
It actually reminds me of a posh framed window, and has the scope to be made to look like stained glass if you wish :-)
Step 1
I took a sheet of A4 white card (300gsm) and folded it in half using my Bone Folder to give a nice crease.
Next using the Spellbinders Wistful Window and cut out my pieces.
I used Grey Dovecraft 180gsm card and 300gsm white card and cut the following:
Large Frame
Medium Frame
Small Frame
Step 2
I glued my pieces together.
✅ TIP - For this I recommend using a fine tip glue applicator or Sticky Specks, as there are some intricate, thin die cuts to work with here! (See my Shopping List below)
Glued together first, I used my Presscut Rectangle Nesting Frames Die Set and cut a mat in
Silver Mirror Card for under the ‘large frame.’
In the Wistful Window set, is an oval that sits on the top frame.
I also cur one of these in Silver Mirror Card
I attached all my frames to my card base and used glue on the large frame and 2mm Foam Tape for the smaller two.
Step 3
Next I used another Spellbinders die set called Peekaboo Trellis Panels.
Using two shades of pink, and two shades of green Dovecraft card, I cut out the flowers and leaves from the set.
I glued together and then attached to my frames using glue and foam pads.
I finished my card with the sentiment "Hugs" - a die from the Trellis Panel set which was cut in a dark pink.
This card can suit many occasions and using accetate and colouring with permanent pens, you can give a nice glass effect… or even paper pieces in different colours would look great!
Don't forget, I'd love to see your ideas so be sure to share with us on our Facebook Group - Create With Craftmania And Jamie Rodgers.
Thanks for reading - Until next Wednesday, take care and keep crafting guys.
Much love
