Paper Rose Christmas Holly Paper Collection | Fun fold Cradle Card | Embossed Die Cuts

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose

I am calling this card a Cradle Card but I have also seen people call it a Book Cradle Card. I like to keep it simple thou. I haven't found the right way to photo these fun fold cards so bare with me.

NOTE! You REALLY need heavier weight cardstock. 

 What will you need 

Cradle - 3 x 6 (3) With the 3" side at the top of you scoring board score at 1 1/2"

Top - 4 x 6 (2) With 4" side at the top of you scoring board score at 1/2 and 3 1/2"

Stopper - 2 1/2 x 6 (1) With 2 1/2 at top of scoring board score at 1/2, 1,1/4 and 2

 

Designer Paper

 

Cradle - 1 1/4 x 5 3/4 (4)

Front and Back - 2 3/4 x 5 3/4 (2)

Very Top strip - 1/4 x 5 3/4  

 

Starting with stopper you need to fold it to form a W, so the first score forms a V (valley) next goes up to make a mountain (upside down V), so fold is in the air and the next is a V again, so fold is on the table.

 

Put that aside for the time being. Fold all the 3 x 6 pieces on the score line. Okay, taking one piece glue another so the folds are together then do the same to another so forming a little book, with one piece of cardstock then 2 stuck then another 2 then a single piece. When you open it up it will be an X.

 

Now you are going to glue the stopper in place, now I glued the stopper onto the 2 double pieces of cardstock making sure the folds at on the ground after adhering. I glued the stopper into the inside of the cradle.

 The 2 top pieces (4x6 panels) you want to fold them so one is a valley fold and the other mountain. 

Using a ruler place your closed cradle at the 0 on your ruler, you should have the opening on your right. You need to add glue to your little strip with the mountain fold. Slip the piece with glue up in between the  pieces of cardstock making sure the cardstock you are adding is flush with 6 " See the photo below. This ensure the card will fit in a 6x6 envelope.

You will notice the piece you just added is half way down and not flush against any edge or fold. See below

 Flip the cradle over, still making sure the cradle is on the 0 and do the exact same thing with the other piece of 4x6 card stock.

This is what you should have...

All you have to do now is close up the top by adding a thin line of glue between the score line and edge of cardstock. Basically where my fingers are holding it closed.

 

Any anyone wants me to do a video leave me a comment below.

 

Now you just have to add your papers and embellish. You will find the measurements above.

 

The beautiful thing about Paper Rose papers is the matching Embossed Die Cuts. This pack only has circles but I have cut out some of the Poinsetias from the circles.

Hero Arts Nov 2024 Kit Revisit! | Ruff Day??

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Nov 2024 Hero Arts Kit- I know it is a ....little while ago but at the recent retreat I had to have another play. OH MY GOODNESS I LOVEEEE how it turned out!!

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

 

This is almost a one layer card but... it mutated.. 

 

To start I just eye-balled where I wanted the door, as it turns out it is 2 1/8 from the bottom. You could leave it attached but I released I wanted to colour my door in Copics, which bleeds thru to the back and I didn't like that so I did another base... measuring this time and trimmed off the "door" and I sponged ink onto the back and there was marks... so another light weight cardstock was added to the back to cover that. But you may be neater sponger than I and not need to do that!

 

 The Dog, Squirrel and Cat were from the Kit which includes the matching Dies. I cut two each of the animals so... again you don't see the bleeding.

 

The back was sponged with Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain.

Hi All, 

Yet another card using the Collboration stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and Paper Rose Studio.

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size  9.7 x 14.1cm (3 9/16 x 5 5/16) 

Matt 10 x 14.4cm (3 7/8 x 5 9/16) 

 

There was a bit of masking in this card again with the image on the left. I added the sprig on the left after inking the stamp once I applied a mask to the areas I didn't want but be aware to make sure you remove the masks before you stamp. I think we have all left a mask on at some point and ended up with a big mess!

Stamptember 23rd Collaboration - Paper Rose | Thankful Florals | Prismacolor

Hi All, 

Today card is using products from Simon Says Stamp and Paper Rose

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8)

I positioned the "hello"on the bottom right and drew a line across the base and applied Mint Tape to mask the below the line and parts of the "hello". Using the same tape I made some leaf masks so I can layer the 2 leaf stamps. I did draw (spoiler) an additional leaf on the right side as I felt it needed a little something.
