Christmas paper weave card

 

Hi everyone. it's tuesday again and I cannot believe I'm going to say that it's also now November!!!!

Today I'm sharing with you a really lovely card that is so easy to achieve and you can make this with any of your leftover pieces of dsp, which means no need to waste any of those papers!

Materials needed:

Whisper white thick cardstock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 1/2" scored at 5 3/4" on the longside this is the cardbase

1pc - 3" x 5" for the layering of the card topper section

1pc - approx 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" for the sentiment die cut piece

Real red cardstock

2pc -  4" x 5 5/8" for the front and inside of the card - 1pc embossed

1pc - approx 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" for the sentiment die cut circle piece

Mossy meadow cardstock

1pc - 2 7/8" x 4 7/8" for the layering of the card topper section

Heartwarming hugs dsp

3 strips in different patterns - 3/4" x 4 3/4" for the paper weaving section

3 strips in different patterns - 3/4" x 3 5/8" for the paper weaving section

Mossy meadow 3/8" striped ribbon

1 piece long enough to tie a bow

Gilded gems

3 for the card front

Real red basic jewels 

5 for the card front

Card recipe:

1. Cut, score and burnish the cardbase.

2. Cut the real red card pieces and emboss one of them, glue them to the front and inside of the card base making sure you glue the embossed piece to the front of card.

3. Cut your whisper white and mossy meadow pieces for the card topper and glue them together flat.

4. Cut all of the paper pieces that are needed and weave them together as in the picture below.

5. Now push the pieces close together leaving them all at different lengths, turn them over carefully and place a few strips of tear n tape to hold them all together.

6. Now glue the paper pieces flat onto the mossy meadow/ whisper white topper piece as below (mine isn't glued down yet make sure you glue your piece straight). You will notice that the paper pieces will hang over the edge, don't worry this is how I've made mine to look.

7. Using dimensionals glue this whole topper piece onto the front of the card making sure you get it in the centre.

8. Stamp your sentiment using mossy meadow ink and then die cut it out. Die cut the real red circle out, and then using dimensionals glue the sentiment piece to it.

9. Glue the whole sentiment piece flat to the card.

10. Tie a bow and glue it to the card using glue dots, and then place all of your gems and jewels onto the card front.

Card finished.

Hope you enjoyed todays project I loved making this because as I said it uses up leftover pieces of dsp, but actually makes a nice card.

Thanks for hopping onto my blog and having a little look I really appreciate it. Take care, stay safe and happy crafting.
