Paper Rose Studio Portraits in Bloom | BIG Triple Easel Card

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose Studio

 

I have made plenty Easel cards and recently I did a slimline easel card. Well I decided to see to challenge myself to make a big one. I still prefer the standard size slimline but it was fun. Really it was simple but I would suggest to use two bases. 

That is 2 slimline card bases or 2 of the bigger ones. It just makes in stronger and gives you another area to open and you can write in. 

 

Card Size 9.5cm x 28.5cm

Feature Panel Size (3) 9.5cm x 9.5cm

 

You will need a piece of cardstock that is 28.5cm x 19cm and score on the short side at 9.5cm. Fold your card base in half.

  

Open the card base up again and on the short side you need to make a mark at 9.5cm and 19cm. You will make a cut from both of these lines down to the score line. 

 

Now you will have 3 separate panels. The flap on the left you will score from the top left diagonally down to the score line on the right. Middle panel you score in half going left to right. Far right you will score from the top right to the score line diagonally to the score line. 

 

You will need 3 pieces of designer paper measuring 9cm x 9cm to decorate each easel. 

 

The important thing to remember when decorating is to decorate the side panels while it is in the easel position. If you decorate the card flat you need to position the elements horizontally. This is the same, of course, if you make a slimline easel card. If you don't then it won't sit properly when in the easel position

Paper Rose Studio Tropical Christmas Paper Collection| Triple Twisted Easel | Aussie A6

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose.

Over the next few days I have 3 different Twisted Easel Cards. Today is a standard Aussie Card base, which I quite like. Tomorrow is a very large ...like slimline shape card and on Wednesday I will post a photo on my Instagram of a standard slimline card. I think I prefer the standard slimline but you need 2 card bases to give the base strength, I feel. 

The standard card base, I like too as it gives a different look as the easel parts are really a longer rectangle compared to the more shorter easels with the slimline and tomorrows one.  

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

On the front of your card you need to divide it into 3. I measured 4.9 and 10 and make a mark along the edge. Using a craft knife cut from the mark to the score line. With the score line further away from you score the left panel from bottom left up to the top right. Center panel will simply folded in half left to right and the right side you score from top left down to the bottom right! Now, remember these for tomorrows card too!

Pattern Paper

(1) 10 x 14.4cm- for the inside of the card

(1) 10 x 13.9 for the easel panels

The second piece of paper we are going to cut it into three. Cut at 9.2 and 4.5. Double check these against your easels to make sure they are small enough.

I kept mine in order as the easel panels are exactly due to the actually card

The left panel you cut diagonally from bottom left to top right, center leave as is and Right side trim diagonal  top left down to the bottom right.

Decorate as you wish.

Paper Rose Little Koala Adventure Collection | Tag Closure Fun Fold

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose.

Today's fun fold is called a Tag Closure Card. It is fun and as usual for me, easy to make. I have used the gorgeous Little Koala Adventures Collection.

 

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

 

You will need:

Cardstock

Base - 14.5cm x 21cm scored on the long side at 5 1/4cm on both ends.

Triangles - 6cm x 6cm cut in half diagonally 

Tag - 8.5cm x 12cm

 

Designer Series Paper ( Can you tell I use to be a Stampin Up person, can't seem to stop myself saying it. Feels wrong if I don't say it)

 

For base card - (2) 9.5cm x 14cm then cut them in half at 4 3/4 

Triangle pieces - (1) 5.5cm x 5.5cm cut in half diagonally.

Tag - 8cm x 11.5cm 

 If you cut (2) 9.5cm x 14cm and THEN cut it in half again means your pattern will continue nicely across the front of your card. See the second photo below. 

 

Fold your card base so the opening meets in the middle. Sometimes one end needs a little help to meet in the middle. You can push it up against a score board lip to ease it into position. Use the designer paper to decorate the card base.

 

After you have cut your 6cm and 5.5cm cardstock and paper in half diagonally adhere them together. Now they will overlap on your card base and that is fine. You have to be careful not to apply too much glue as they do overlap, I applied glue around straight edges leaving about 1.5-2cm not glued and nothing on the diagonally edge, so it forms a pocket. Your tag will slot into each to close your card.

 

I had an old slot punch for my ribbon. To make it more tag like. You could use a straight corner punch but I don't have it. I used my craft mat and just marked 3/4" along the top and down the side on the left and right. 3/4" is just under 2cm but it really doesn't matter. Decorate as you wish.

Paper Rose Rustic Spring Collection | Peek-a-boo Fun Fold

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose.

This is a Peek-a-boo fun fold. I have chosen to make the aperture with a rectangle but you could do anything. The hardest part, I think, is lining up the aperture on each panel but that isn't too hard either. There is tricks you can use.

 

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

Cardstock needed :

Card base - 21 cm x 10.5 scored at 14cm or (5 1/2")  

Middle - 22cm x 10.5cm scored 11cm (harder to give you a inch measurement to score at for this one)

Back - 15cm x 10.5cm score at 14cm (5 1/2")

 

Designer paper measurements:

 You need :

(2) 10cm x 13.5cm. One for the front and one for the back panel.

(1) 5cm x 10cm for the peek-a-boo panel

 

I have American measurements for you below. 

Before you die cut anything pick what you wish to use on the front of the card. I decided I wanted a border around my aperture so I adhered the paper with temporary tape but if you are happy to have the paper go straight to the aperture you can adhere it permanently.

 

Take the card base piece making sure the smaller panel on your left and die cut your aperture on the right side, placing the die far right but equally place to the top bottom and right side.

Next you will take the middle piece of cardstock and fold it in half on the score line. With the open edge to your right place it under your aperture and place the die back into place. It will sort of slot in and not really move. Open up the middle cardstock and die cut the second aperture.

 

You are going to do this a third time but you will use the aperture you just cut to mark where to cut on the third panel. You simply fold the middle piece in half again. 

 

Cutting three pieces of cardstock cut be tricky, you don't cut fully which isn't a problem, as you can just pop the die back in again but you can mark your cardstock due to the pressure trying to get all three thru ( not to mention the added pressure on your machine) and if you use tape to hold everything together it can sometimes stick a lot more and make it hard to remove without tearing( even it is low tack- I've had it happen using Mint Tape which is very low tack)

 

With the Middle piece closed, take the back piece of cardstock ( 15 x 10.5cm one)and apply glue to the outer part of the tab ( so if you were to open the back panel you would push it away from you) and apply it to the back of the middle piece of cardstock.

 

Next glue the front of the middle panel and adhere it to the front making sure the apertures line up correctly. You card is done... basically.

The only thing you have to do apart from decorating is you slot the smaller panel of the front of the cardstock in front of the back panel.  This will be the panel that will be seen thru the aperture when you open the card.

 

Sounds confusing but watch the video and everything will make sure. Decorate as you wish.

Paper Rose Christmas Wishes | Overlapping Fun Fold

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose

This card is another simple fun fold. You need 3 pieces of cardstock and 3 pieces of designer papers. Then whatever you are going to embellish your card with, I used Embossed Die Cuts are the coordinating Tags and Tickets pack. 

This card is called an Overlapping Fun Fold. 

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

 

You will need:

White Cardstock 

(1) 10.5 x 14.9cm Card Base

(1) 10 x 11cm Left Flap - you will need to score this on the 10cm side at 1.3cm or 1/2"

(1) 9 x 10cm Right Flap - you will need to score this on the 9cm side at 1.3cm or 1/2"

 

Designer Papers

(1) 10 x 14.1cm for card base 

(1) 8.2 x 10.6cm for left flap

(1) 7.2 x 9.5cm for the right flap

Embossed Die cuts or other things to decorate your panels. 

  

 

I thought about adhering the card base designer pattern onto a top folding card base as how I have done the card it can not stand by itself but I wanted you to open the flaps and see a written greeting instead of written on another flap. However it is an option.

Unlike in the video the best way to adhere the flaps is onto the back designer paper before you adhere it to the card base. Holding the left hand flap apply glue to the tab and adhere it to the back of the designer paper making sure the flap folds over the front easily. If you adhere the score line to the back, it won't fold.

 

The right hand side flap is glue to the right side but this time you want the flap to sit, once folded, so it is a little higher than the left flap but it isn't a hard rule. We want this to be fun not stressful.

 

Adhere the papers to each panel and decorate as you wish. That's it!!

Paper Rose Golden Days Fun Fold | Hidden Flap Pop Out Card

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose Studio

 

I have a Hidden Gift Card for you today. using the beautiful Golden Days Paper Collection.

I keep the decorations very simple.

 

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

 

You are going to need:

For Australian Card Bases

(1) card front 10.5 x 14.9

(1) 10.5 x 24cm scored at 12cm on long edge ( square card base)

(1) 10 x 16.9cm scored at 2cm or 3/4"on long edge (voucher mechanism)

(1) 2.5 x 11.9cm scored on each long end at 1/4" ( Slider Guide)

 

For American Card Bases

(1) 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

(1) 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 Scored at 4 1/4 on the long edge

(1) 3 7/8 x 6 1/4 Scored at 3/4 on the long edge 

(1) 1 x 4 3/4 scored at 1/4 on each end

 

Pattern Paper for Australian Card Bases

Front Panel I used the largest nesting AUS Die which is 9.6 x 13.9cm 

Inside Matt 10.1 x 11.3cm

Voucher spot 7.4 x 9.7cm

Back Strip 2.4 x 10.2cm

 

You are going to build your card from the back.  

Take the square card base and glue it flat against the bottom of the card front, making sure the fold is at the top and it will sit about an inch from the top of the card base. It should open upwards.

 

Next apply glue to the tab on the voucher mechanism. Glue this at the top in the inch that we left at the top above the square card. Glue it flush to the edge of the cardstock.

 

Open the mechanism so you can work on the square card base. Now note we have not turned anything over we have just lift the voucher mechanism up.

 

Apply a thin layer of glue to each of the tabs on the slider guide and glue it to the bottom of the square card back. This means you can easily run cardstock thru the guider. Give this enough time to adhere before moving to the next part.

 

The hardest is sliding the voucher mechanism thru the guider. Good thing about it is that you only have to do this one time. It isn't really hard just fiddly. 

Decorate as you wish.

 

There is a few ways to adhere the voucher. You can make slits using your cutter or there is some punches out there that make slits but I think simple temporary tape runner works really well.

 

Xpress-it in Australia has one i know. I actually saw it in Officeworks today.

Paper Rose Campfire Tales | Diamond Fun Fold | Two Ways

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose Studio

 

Card Size 10.7cm x 15.3cm (4 1/4" x 6")

 

Card Base 21cm x 15.3cm (8 1/4" x 6")

You will need 1 piece of patterned paper at

11cm x 7cm (4 5/16 x 2 3/4") 

Next you will need 2 squares of coordinating paper measuring

7cm x 7cm ( 2 3/4 x 2 3/4") 

 

Using a score board with the  long edge along the top score at 3" (makes it easily to use inches with fun folds)

Rotate the cardstock to have the 6" edge along the top and score it again at 3".

 

This leaves you with 2 squares areas and 2 rectangles. Make sure the squares are on the left. Grab a pencil and make a mark at the 5 1/8" along the top edge. I just made a little dot and used a ruler to make the same mark on the bottom edge. I place the straight edge of the ruler flat against the top at the 5 1/8 and use the bottom of the ruler to do the same on the bottom.

 

Next we are going to make a mark on the center fold. I use the ruler again and place the edge flat against the top but this time at the 3 3/4 mark and make a dot on the centre line.

 

Remove the cardstock from the score board and use your ruler to score from the edge into the centre on both edges making a ^ shape. Check out the video if you need more support.

 

Fold the (2) 3" score lines into mountains which means you fold it away from you and fold is coming up.

 

Gently use a bone folder on the ^ to make a valley fold, meaning the cardstock edges are coming towards you. Fold going down. Fold the card up using these folds, once you ease the valley folds into place it should be fairly easy.

 

Decorate as you please.

Paper Rose Little Koala Adventures Collection | Side Step Down Fun Fold Card

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose Studio

 

Card Size 10.8 x 14cm (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) 

Now, to score this you need a photo of the template I made, it isn't too hard just hard to explain without it.

Cardstock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 

 So... With the 5 1/2" side at the top use a ruler to mark 3" move the ruler down a few inches and mark 3" again, this doesn't have to be at the top and bottom.

Turn the card so you have the 8 1/2" along the top. Line the ruler up on the dots you just made and mark 1" and again at 6 1/2. Draw a line from the 1" to the 6 1/2" along the 3" line. Use a craft knife ( can't think what you America Peeps call it...Utility knife...?) and make a slit along the drawn line.

One side of the line will be 3" and the other is 2 1/2". On the 3" side score at 4 1/4 JUST to the line.

On the 2 1/2" side score JUST to the line at 1", 2", 3 1/4, 4 1/2 and 6 1/2. Again just to the line. 

The 4 1/4" side is a mountain fold ( goes up). The 1" score line is a mountain, next valley, mountain, valley and mountain. Check out the video if you need help.

 

 

 I did place another floral element under the Koala in a branch. You can't see it when looking at the card from the front but can, clearly, when moving it around and it was annoying me :D.

Score the white cardstock (that is 10" x 4") as valley, mountain and valley folds. (Valleys go down and mountains go up or you can check out the video for help. 

 

Before you apply the white cardstock decorate the inside of the card base. 

 

To apply fold up the cardstock and apply glue to one side and position it where you want. I found it easier to first hold it in place to see where you would like to place it. It doesn't have to be perfect.

 

Decorate with the designer pattern to your choosing. On one panel I cut a small rectangle of white cardstock with a matt of vellum. This is the panel I plan to write on.

Paper Rose Petals & Pansies Collection | Triple Layered Bridge 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) 

 

Another super simple card and I am using the beautiful Petals & Pansies Collection

 

On the front of a top folding Australian Card base ( half of an A4 sheet) make a mark on the front panel at 2.5cm and again at 8cm or 1" and 3 1/8". You need to mark this on the fold line and the bottom edge. Use a ruler and cut from the fold line to the bottom on the front panel only. 

 

For the front papers, do what I say as I stuffed up a little in the video and I was lucky that the whole pattern still mostly looks the same and matches.

 

You need a sheet of your desired paper and cut it at 9.3 x 14.4 

 

On the 9.3cm side, using a pencil and mark at 2.1cm and 7.2cm. Using a guillotine cut this apart. This will give you a beautiful continued design.

 

The trick with this card is to use die cuts that can be put together or are wide enough to extend from the 2 panels on the far left and right side of the card. My chair does but I still added the little flowers so my chair would be off set slightly.

 

Decorate as you wish.
