My first card used the 'Black Magic' technique which works well with solid images. It's a heat embossing technique and in my live I demonstrate how to do it. Here is the card that I made, it was CASED from an original design by Phoebe Carr.
I used an A6 Whisper White card base.
Basic Black card stock measures 100mm x 70mm( 3 7/8" x 2 ¾")
The Poppy Parade layer is cut from one of the rectangle dies from Stampin' Up!
Once I had started to play around with this stamp set again I couldn't stop, so I decided to create some note cards and a card holder too!
I got the idea for the card holder from Liz Yuille and I loved how our SU note cards fit inside it. The whole little package is just so cute and would make a gorgeous gift for someone. I also wanted to make a larger one for our A6 cards to fit inside, so I ran some figures and came up with some measurements. The cards fit inside in a slightly different way to the other one but it still works, so I was really pleased!
For the Note card Version you need:
Designer Series Paper( DSP) measuring 12" x 8".
Score at 4" across the short side, so basically the DSP is in half.
On the long side, score at 3¼" in from both ends.
For the A6 version you need:
Designer Series Paper( DSP) measuring 12"x 12".
Score at 6" across the short side, so basically the DSP is in half.
On the long side, score at 3¾" in from both ends.
First two cards the Blackberry Bliss card stock layer measures 85 mm x 123 mm( 3 3/8" x 4 7/8").
Whisper White card stock measures 120 mm x 82 mm. (3¼" x 4 5/8").
Cards 3 and 4 have a DSP layer that measures 120 mm x 82 mm also.
As you can see, I even decorated the envelope flaps too, just to make them even more special. You can watch my FB Live here to see how I created everything, enjoy!
Until next time, thanks for dropping by.
Happy Crafting
