Paper Rose Love and Daydreams Collection | W Gift Card | Fun Fold

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose Studio

 


Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8)
Feature Panel Size 10 x 14.4cm (3 7/8 x 5 9/16) 
 
I originally came across another version of this card from Dawn Griffin but I made a few changes.
 
I have used 3 pieces of patterned paper as I don't have a lot of 12x12 paper. However if you wish to use a larger piece you will need one that measures 13 x 25 cm. Along the 25cm edge score it at 8,11 and 14cm
 
The card base is a standard Australian card folded in half.
 
If you are using 6x6 paper collection you will need:
8cm x 13cm (x3)
 
Take one and score it on the 8cm side at 1cm, 4cm and 7cm. This will form our middle panel. Fold this to make a unusually W shape. Adhere one of the other pieces to the small tab on the left side. With the remaining piece, measure down the right hand side at 6cm. Use a cutter or ruler and trim off from the top left side down to the mark on the right side and this will be the holder for the gift card.
 
On the middle panel cut a slit on the tab (small panel on the right side) so you do not see the diagonal panel we just cut when you adhere the holder. Glue the diagonal panel to the tab on the right hand side. 
 
To add this to your card, apply glue to the far left panel and place this in the middle of your card base on the left side. Fold your patterned paper closed. Being careful to only apply glue around the edges so you still have a pocket for your gift card and not along the top edge and then close the back of the card up. Allow to dry. Decorate as you wish.

Paper Rose Easter Village Zig Zag Tower Card | Fun Fold

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose Studio

 


Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.6cm (4 1/8 x 5 3/4) 

Base Card 
14.8cm x 17.5cm Score on the long edge at 4,8,12 and 16cm
Fold these all back onto each other as to form a prism. Apply glue to the small panel. Lay the cardstock flat with the join in the middle at the back. You want the fold down the middle at the front.
 
White cardstock for the front
3.5cm x 10.5cm (x4)
Matt
3cm x 10cm (x4)
Feature panel (Gingham)
2.5cm x 9.7cm (x4) 
 
You can cut 2 more panels if you are using dark cardstock for the back to right on but I like to use white so this isn't a problem.
 
Adhere all your layers and use your grid mat to position these evenly on your base. The important thing to remember here is to adhere each piece in a zig zag manner. Meaning the top piece is glued to the left of the fold line and NOT over it. The next adhered to the right, next left and finally the right. This will mean your card when it is sitting upright will make a criss cross.
 
When you decorate you need something tall but not too wide and adhered it to the panels that will move forward. See photos. If your piece is too wide it will get damaged or not open properly.

Hero Arts Celebrate | For the Love of Everything Green

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Hero Arts

 

Do you like green? Many years ago I had a boss who would never use anything that was green. It was some ...30 odd years ago. I think it was something regarding superstition...like lucky socks for a sports player or something. I didn't get it but it didn't concern me soo I didn't care. haha I did however think of them when I made my card.

Do you have something that you can't use or must have?
