Neverending card tutorial

Hello everyone! It's Guest Designer Jane here and I have a tutorial today to show you how to make one of my favourite types of cards. Neverending cards are surprisingly easy to make and always appreciated by the recipients, my kids Friends always love them!

To make the card you will need:
Kraft cardstock
Plain coloured cardstock
6x6 Paperkit - Frühlingserwachen
Delivering my Heart to you stamp
Happy Birthday Gnome stamp
General Sayings II stamp set
Distress ink
Glue/Glossy accents
String
Button
Stick on gems/pearls
Embossing tool/bone folder
Butterfly punch
Embellishments to decorate the panels

How to make the card:
1. Cut four pieces of Kraft card to measure 14cm x 7cm

2. Score each piece 3.5cm in from each long edge and fold with a bone folder to enhance the score lines

3. Unfold the pieces and lay two pieces flat and add glue or Glossy accents to each corner as shown in the picture below.


4. Lay the other two pieces on top so they overlap the first two pieces and stick down. Allow to dry completely.


5. While the card base is drying you can cut out some cardstock to decorate the panels. You will need 8 squares cut to 6.8x6.8 cm, 8 rectangles cut to 3.2x6.8cm. 8 squares cut to 3.2x3.2cm. Stick all the panels on to the card.


6. Cut paper to layer on top of the cardstock. You will need 8 squares cut to 6.4x6.4 cm, 8 rectangles cut to 2.8x6.4cm. 8 squares cut to 2.8x2.8cm. Stamp with sentiment stamps, ink edges and stick all the paper panels on to the card.


7. Now it's time to decorate the card. Stamp your images, colour in and cut out.


8. Add to the front of the card adding string which has been glued on with glossy accents.


9. Decorate all the panels but be careful not to stick anything over the score lines as this will interfere with the folding mechanism of the card. Add embellishments, stick on gems and pearls.


10. And there you have it! A finished Neverending card!

I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial and feel inspired to make you own Neverending card.
Have a lovely weekend!
