Hello again everyone,
Hope all is well with you all and you're busy crafting away in this time we all have at the moment.
I'm taking part in my very first Team Scrimpy blog hop today, hoping I do it right. Basically, after having a look at what I've made, you can then hop on the links below to all the other lovely ladies blogs and see what they've made, using the theme that we're going on, which this time is "Support and Encouragment", which at this present time is something which I feel we all need to be showing towards others.
Anyway I think it's time now for me to stop with the chat and just get on with showing you what I've made, so here goes - hope you enjoy!
Measurements
Whisper white thick card
1pc - 10.5cm x A4 length score at 15.8cm and 17cm
1pc - 10.5cm x 15.8cm ( rectangle stitched die - 2nd largest cut from centre)
1pc - rectangle stitched die cut from above piece ( for inside card)
Scrap piece for the sentiment ( rectangle stitched die )
Crushed curry card
1pc - 10.2 x 15.6cm ( for the front of card )
Scrap piece for behind sentiment (rectangle stitched die cut in half and glued to the back of the white sentiment piece after you stamp and heat emboss)
Pretty peacock card
1pc- 9.5cm x 13cm ( for inside of card )
Crushed curry crinkled seam binding ribbon
Approx 23cm
Other items used :
Botanical prints product medley
Multipurpose liquid glue
Glue dots
Foam adhesive strips
Copper embossing powder
Versamark ink
Embossing buddy
Tear & Tape adhesive
Tear & Tape adhesive
Heat tool
To create your card base you need to fold in half and then you need to place tear & tape up to the next score line, this is the back of the card, and when finished you will take backing off tape and stick it to the inner front of your card, this makes your card more sturdy when standing up.
Glue your crushed curry piece to the front of your card leaving a small border, as in picture. Now you need to glue your laser cut piece of pretty peacock card ( this comes within the product medley kit) to the back of your white piece with the rectangle cut out of it, then as in picture place foam strips all around the edge and three small pieces in the middle to make it more sturdy. Stick this to the front over the crushed curry piece.
Now you can place your embellishment pieces on to the front covering your tape up. ( I like to cut away some of the white border on the die cut pieces that also come within the medley kit but the choice is yours, I'm just fussy lol )
Stamp your sentiment with versamark ink (having first rubbed your card with your embossing buddy to prevent static), cover with the embossing powder, tapping off the excess, and heat set it.
Glue your crushed curry pieces to the back of your sentiment, then glue to the front of your card. Tie a bow and use a glue dot to stick to the card.
For the inside of the card you need to mat and layer the pretty peacock piece of card and the inner rectangle (that came from cutting your front rectangle), and then glue inside the card.
