Today I thought I'd post a couple tutorials from our designers. Did you know there are several cards in the gallery with step-by-step instructions....INCLUDING pictures so you can easily create the cards on your own? Grab your kit and follow these easy directions...you'll have several cards made in just a few minutes. Enjoy!
Card by Hilary:
Step 1. Card measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Gather your supplies. Set aside a white pre-scored folded card to use later. Cut a piece of cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4, (this will be the piece you will use to adhere everything to). Cut strips of patterned paper, glitter a chipboard frame, (from my own collection), and adhere papers, trim and pearls to the chipboard shape included in your kit.
Step 2. Adhere papers as shown.
Step 3. Stitch around the card, then adhere the scalloped border to the bottom edge of the card.
Step 4. Adhere scalloped frame to the center of the card. Adhere the chipboard shape to the center of the frame using pop-dots. Stamp the word, "smile" onto a tiny kraft tag, tie it with twine and adhere it to the scalloped frame. Finally, adhere two buttons to the top left of the card and a rub-on sentiment to the bottom. Now your ready to adhere the card front to the pre-scored card you set aside in step one (I used pop-dots to secure my card front, it adds a lot of dimension).
Card by Michele:
Step 1 - Cut eight - 1 inch strips of patterned paper. Weave together as shown. Carefully adhere together and cut off excess strips.
Step 2 - adhere to cardbase and zig-zag stitch the seams. leave a little thread for "home" type feel. Round corners as desired. Ink edges of cardbase. Set aside.
Step 3 - Cut off the word on the Jenni Bowlin bingo card. Adhere dotted paper to bottom of card. Use any border punch to give some dimension. Adhere cotton trim along the seam.
Step 4 - Adhere embellished bingo card, layered flower and buttons on top of woven papers. Stamp, print or write a sentiment inside the card.
