Centre Stepper Card Tutorial

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a good week so far. Today, I (Jane) will be sharing my first tutorial with you as a Guest Designer. I will be showing you how to make a centre stepper card using the sweet Prima Ballerina Nora digital image.

To make the card you will need:

• A 12x12 sheet of coloured cardstock
• 3 patterned papers
  
• A printed digi image of Nora
• Colouring medium (I used Promarkers)
• Ruler, embossing tool, bone folder, craft knife
• Twine, a charm, a button, gems
• Butterflies Border die
• General Sayings sentiment stamps
  
• Glitter glue
• Nestabiities dies and die cutting machine

How to make the card:

1. Start by cutting your plain cardstock to 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches. Mark a line 1 inch in with pencil along the longer edges. Then measure and mark pencil lines at 1inch, 2 inches, 4.25 inches and 5.25 inches. Score when vertical short lines are shown in pink on the diagram below and cut the middle green lines. The measurements are shown in black on the diagram below.
   
2. Mountain fold the 1st Score line, valley fold the second and mountain fold the last score lines to make the card shape shown below. Sharpen the creases with your bone folder.
3. Cut a strip of pink card measuring 14cm by 4.5 cm and shape edge with the border die. Cut patterned paper to fit the panels of the card and layer them up with double sided tape.
4. Wrap twine around the butterfly panel and stick to the front of the card. Tie on a charm with more twine and tie into a bow.
5. Colour in your image and cut out with a Nestabilities shape, layer onto a scalloped rectangle and stick to the card with foam pads.
6. Stamp the sentiment and cut out into a tag shape. Stick to card, embellish card with butterflies, gems and button and finish with glitter glue to give Norah twinkly toes!

I hope you have enjoyed my first tutorial! Have a lovely Tuesday!

Wedding Favour Box

Hi there everyone and hope that you’re keeping well. This is Michele and today I’d like to show you a tutorial on how I created this box which measures 10cm x 10cm x 4cm.

Supplies Needed

• Scoring board
• One 18cm square piece of cardstock
• One 10x14.5cm cardstock (for box top)
• Four 9.5x3.5cm pieces of designer paper
• One 10.5 cm square piece of cardstock (for base of box)
• One 9.5cm square piece of designer paper
• One 8.5cm square piece of cardstock
• One 8cm square piece of designer paper
• Bone Folder
• Double-Sided Tape
• Scissors
• Stamps, Ink, etc.……. to decorate box

Step 1

Score 18cm square cardstock at 4cm on all four sides

Step 2

Pre-fold all scores with a Bone Folder. Using the scissors, make vertical cuts (following the scored line) on all four sides to create a flap in each corner of the 18cm square cardstock piece.

Step 3

Now apply double-sided tape to each corner flap on the 18cm square cardstock and fold into a box.

Step 4

Score 10x14.5cm cardstock at 4cm on the 14.5cm side

Step 5

Now apply double-sided tape to the 4cm area and stick inside the box (like the picture below)

Step 6

Ink all the edges on the four 9.5cm x 3.5cm pieces of designer paper

Step 7

Adhere all the four pieces of designer paper to the sides of the box (picture below)

Step 8

Ink up all the remaining pieces of cardstock/designer paper. Then adhere the 10.5cm square cardstock to the base of the box

Step 9

Starting with the largest piece of designer paper now start layering them up on top of each other using double-sided tape. Now adhere all the layered paper onto the top of the box.

Step 10

Now cut a piece of cardstock that is 9cm square and fold it in half twice to find out where the middle is. I’ve then used a circle die-cut and ran it through my big shot to cut out a circle.

Step 11

Score at 1cm on all four sides and then fold the lines. Make vertical cuts (following the scored line) on all four sides to create a flap in each corner

Step 12

Now decorate the top of the box using some fancy stamps. Then fold and glue all the edges together (Picture below)

Step 13

Now get a piece of material like organza, etc. that is slightly bigger than the holder and place it underneath.

Step 14

Using some glue that will dry clear apply it all around the sides of the holder. Then start adhering the material to the glue and hold in place on each side for a few minutes. Now put to one side until the glue has dried. Once the glue has dried singed the edge of the material using a heat gun.

Step 15

Now place the holder into the box.

Now it’s time to decorate the top of the box.

And here is my box after I’ve decorated the top

I’ve used the gorgeous ‘Wedding Carriage’ stamp from Whiff of Joy and I’ve coloured it using my ProMarker pens. I’ve also used the ‘Sweet Heart with Tags’ die also from Whiff of Joy and have embossed it using a hearts embossing folder and then used Brushed Corduroy ink .

I hope that you’ve enjoyed this tutorial and has given you a little inspiration.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Waterfall card by Giò

Goodmorning to all!!!

Today I want to show you a really funny template card!!!

This is the WATERFALL CARD!!! and now I explain you how to do!!

You will need these supplies:

Three different  Whiff of Joy stamps, I used new Black and White digital stamps of Henry Mouse super hero

Bat Henry

Super Henry

Henry to the rescue

One piece cardstock  11 x 4 1/4

One piece cardstock  2 1/2 x 9

One piece cardstock  1 x 4 1/4

Three pieces cardstock 2 3/8 x 2 3/8

Two brads

 Double sided tape

Let's get started

First of all score  4 1/4 x 11 piece of cardstock.

I realize an embossed background but you can use a patterned if you prefer.

With a White gel pen I colored some lights on my background.

Now you can put the 1 x 4 1/4 piece of cardstock on the card with two brads on the opposite sided.

Place the piece of  White cardstock under the Red one with the folded side up an put the double sided tape as in the photo.  Attach aligning the edge of White cardstock  with the bottom edge of the Red cardstock.

Now put the double sided tape as in the photo and attach the three squares with the images.

Your Waterfall card is now ready, you can see in the photos the moviment of the card.

You can stamp a sentiment on White long strip if you want.

I hope you enjoy my tutorial and you can have fun to make your waterfall card.

Have a fabulous day!!
