WENDY'S WORKSHOP MARCH 2016

THE DRESS CARD TUT

I printed off my worksheets and gathered up the dies and embossing folder

I wanted to use.

Attach foam pads around the cut out oval on the wrong side

and attach the sentiment to it

Matt & layer your paper choice and create the base card using the

TIED TENT TECHNIQUE

The back

SYMPATHY CARD TUT

I'm using the smallest Go Kreate die from this set.

Print off the worksheets

First score from the non printed end at 5cm & 18cm

Trim down the height of the card to 17.78cm (7inches)

so you have this

Line up the die so it's evenly distributed on a short edge and making

sure that the long edges are OVER the die so as not to

cut into it, repeat for the other end. 

So you have this fancy edged front card.

Punch 2 holes as shown above and apply a strip of DST along the back

You'll need approx. 1 metre of ribbon, stick the ribbon to the DST

and thread through the holes as shown above.

Matt and layer the sentiment onto a piece of card and attach

inside the main card.

Create a base card using the TIED TENT TECHNIQUE 

and matt and layer your choice of base papers/card

then attach the fancy edged front card to that.

Mount everything onto your base card

and this is the back view

HOW TO RESIZE LONG CARDS IN CRAFT ARTIST

Here's the worksheet, you'll also need an A4 piece of card to create the base card

Trim around the edges of the green backing and the wording one 

Score your A4 card in half lengthways, fold & crease, this will make your base card in tent fold.

Trim down the base card to fit your green backing

Using the Tent Tied Technique on the base card you're now ready to
put together, before that though I inked around the edges.
Next I will cut out my letters for decoupage and decorate the card :)

and now you can see the diffrence in the sizes :)
The 1 on the left is the default size on the DVD and you'll need a 12 long x 6 inch base card for that which are available from Anna Marie Designs
and the 1 on the right is the 1 I've just re-sized in the video.

WENDY'S WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 2016

In February we made 6 projects with, as you can see, a variety of themes.

FRONT FOLDER POCKET CARD TUT  

Print off the worksheets, you'll also need

8 x 8 inch base card,

1 and a bit pieces of A4 pearl card

Cut the pearl card to 19.5cm square

From the remaining pearl card cut a strip for an edge,

I've used a edger die to give if some fancy :)

Cut 2 squares of 10cm from the pearl card

Mark the centre and along 1 edge mark out 2cm left and right of the centre mark.

Along the opposite edge mark out 1cm left and right, this is to give the angled bracket

that will hold the folder pocket in place. Repeat for the other piece of card.

This next bit is much easier on a houghie board.

Lining up in any score line the bottom and top marks (not the centre mark) score

and while the piece of card is still in place score again at 1cm on the outside of the original score line

Repeat for the other side, cut off the excess card on the outside of the outside score line 

Fold and crease the score lines like above.

Apply DST to the outer edges and trim at an angle the top

Add an extra piece of DST to pull together the bottom to create that folder hindge

like this

and attach to the front of the pocket.

Although it's not done in this pic apply DST along the bottom edge of the pocket also

and attach to the front of your card.

ENVELOPE FRONT CARD TUT

Print off the pieces. You'll also need

2 pieces of card (I used pearl card)

2 pieces of paper (I used double sided pearl paper)

1 and a half sheets of backing card (I used silver glitter card)

1 metre of ribbon

A cross die or image

Theses are the tools I used.

The embossing folder is by Crafts Too

Presscut Die - Cross

The smaller of the 3 square scalloped die by Go Kreate

Cut just inside the lines of the writings images.

I embossed the 2 pieces of pearl paper and cut them out using the square scalloped die.

Fold the squares diagonally with the embossed side on the outside (as shown above)

Trim a sliver off the folded edge to create 2 pieces

like so. I've cut 1 of my pieces of pearl card to matt onto my base card but first I need to attach the

envelope flaps. Score each flap along the long edge at 1cm, fold & crease and attach DST

to the underneath part of the fold, repeat for the other 3. Trim the corners at an angle as shwon above.

Centralising the flaps attach them to each side of the pearl piece of card (as above)

until you have this

Because I used paper I've added card circles I punched out to strengthen

the bottom and 2 sides flaps where the ribbon will go then I punched holes.

Before you start on the front attach the back pieces

I've pulled a short amount of the ribbon through the punched holes.

I'm only wanting to pull the flaps together and secure, cut off the rest of the ribbon

as this will create the bow,

Make up the pocket piece

BACK TO SCHOOL CARD - BUNTING TUT

I only need to show you how to out the bunting strip together as the rest of

the card is simple matt & layering. Print off the worksheets, you'll also need an A4 piece of card & a base card of 7 x 7 inches.

Cut your A4 piece of card to create a 16.5cm square then cut the red dotty backing to 16cm square.

Also from the A4 piece of card cut a strip approx. 2cm x the width of the A4 card (21cm)

Wrap around the front of your matting pieces and crease at the edges (as shown above)

Add DST to the reverse of the strip on the long run and the 2 short runs (as above) 

and start to layer your bunting pieces as shwon above

Once complete add another pieces of DST

and attach to the front of your matting pieces as above

then continue to build up your card :)
