Craft With Me: A Layered Spring Card
When time constraints are plaguing you and you still want to send out a lovely handcrafted card, try only decorating the front. And layer to your heart’s desire!
Keep the bulk down though, if you want it to fit in its envelope.
This week’s card was created with papers & punch-outs by Studiolight and some leaf dies by Crealies. I also used two of the latest Stickles glitter glue colors.
Layering is mostly about two things:
- Placement of elements
- The order in which to glue everything down.
In this week’s video I’m letting you into my ‘craft kitchen’ so you can craft with me. Enjoy!
4 Secret Admirer Cards
Having already created two projects with Kaisercraft’s lovely Secret Admirer paper collection – a Folio Album and a Romantic Drawer box – I had hardly any papers left over, except some scraps.
But since I had really fallen for these gloriously colorful papers, I couldn’t bring myself to throw away even what little I had left. And good thing I didn’t, for as it turns out they had four lovely cards still within in them! 🙂
(Above was created with a step card die by the Dutch brand Crealies. Click photo for link to free video tutorial)
Time to Celebrate Cards & Paper Walkthrough
I love the gorgeous spring greens and salmon pinks of Graphic 45’s Time to Celebrate!
That is why today I’m sharing two cards I created with it, after walking you through the papers and embellishments of this collection.
It is the perfect card making stack!
Because several sheets display more than one festive occasion at once, coming up with projects that are not cards turns out to be a bit of a challenge for me though, for I usually have one specific occasion or purpose in mind. But, that’s a puzzle I’ll (very happily) solve at a later time!
For now I’m very happy to say: enjoy the video and the pictures below! 🙂
Tutorial: Layered card (+ some footage of my favorite hot glue gun)
I wanted to experiment with some layering, for I’d seen and admired layered cards and layouts from others but hadn’t tried it myself yet. This was my first attempt and while I was at it, I decided to give you the opportunity to follow along! 🙂
The paper I used was Rose Garden by First Edition – the same 6×6 inch pad that I used for the three cards I showed you a couple of posts ago. The stamp is a great birthday stamp by Kaisercraft.
I’m also showing you my hot glue gun this time, it’s a really great piece of equipment!
Anyway, here’s the tutorial. Wait, don’t leave until the very end, for I’ll give you some sneak peeks into my Mini Album Month! It starts this September (so next week!) and you’ll be able to check out a mini album every week instead of every month!
