Tuesday Tutorial - Circle Dies and Parchment

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is really easy to create using just a few basic dies and an embossing folder. Use any folder that you have in your "Stash" and like wise the flowers and the sentiment.  You are sure to make a really pretty card and here are the steps to follow ...

 Spellbinders Supplies:

Other Supplies:
  • Flowers
  • Glitter
  • Diamante
  • Woodware stamps
Instructions:
Create a Hinged Card  in white with Matting Basics A #7 
Cut two panels with #7 Matting Basics B ... One coloured and the other in Parchment. 
And remember that die #1 is always the smallest
Emboss the parchment in your folder.
(Tip: if your parchment is thin then sandwiching it between copy paper will help to stop it from tearing as you emboss it)
With dies #5 and #6 tape them together onto some more coloured card and cut three frames.
Taping them together ensures that all your frames will be the same
Glue them all together
With smallest of the two circle dies cut an aperture into the parchment piece where you would like it to sit and then add the glued frame to the top.
Save any surplus die cuts for another project
With #7 and #6 from Matting Basics B repeat the taping and cutting process to make two frames and glue these together also and add to the top of the parchment
Stamp and emboss your sentiment onto a circle of white card cut with die #6 and position it on the coloured card inside the circle aperture. To make sure that it is in the correct position place the parchment on top of your coloured card, where you want it to be, and then slot the stamped sentiment circle  in to the space.
Make sure it is straight and carefully remove the parchment panel ... without moving the sentiment circle.  You can then glue the sentiment circle permanantly in place knowing it is in the correct space
Add small pieces of foam tape around the circle and the outer frame so that they cannot be seen from the front. This raises up the parchment from the coloured layer
Glue them all onto the white base card and dress with flowers as you like.
I have added extra sparkle to my card by cutting up some diamante "Bling"  and laying it around the flowers

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  1. Morning Christina, a beautiful card you make it seem so easy but it will be trying to get your sentiment in the centre of the frame but I am going to give it go and keep my fingers crossed.
