'Anniversary flowers' - card

#HappyAnniversary #Love #Foil

Hello paper crafters! Hope all is well. Mini hiatus on the blog posting, playing a bit of catch up on my crafts and studies. I thought I’d share a card that is quite simplistic and elegant. I think it’s perfect for an anniversary or wedding card.


***

For this card, I used a white 5 1/4 inch square notecard for the base of the card. I cut a 5 1/8 inch square piece from some plain white cardstock to form the panel of the card. To give this card a bit of dimension, I decided that I should add a thin piece of foam to the back of the panel. I cut a foam piece down to a 5 inch square and adhered it to the back of the panel.


Next, I cut a strip of grey cardstock with a width of 3/4 inches. Make sure the length of the strip of grey cardstock is at least 5 1/8 inches. I also a strip of vellum to a width of 1 1/2 inches with a length of 7 inches.

To create the sentiment I stuck some double-sided tape on the back of some white cardstock and then die-cut a 'Happy Anniversary' sentiment out of white cardstock. The sentiment should now be adhesive. Peeling off the release paper from the back of the sentiment, I adhered it to the centre of the grey cardstock strip. Now onto the foil flowers!


I die-cut some flowers and leaves from some bronze paper and aligned them along the centre of the card as shown in the image below. Once I was happy with the arrangement I adhered them to the card panel using some PVA glue.


Next, I added the strip of vellum across the centre of the card, folded it over the edges of the card and adhered the folded edges to the back of the panel using some double-sided tape. Then I took the sentiment strip and adhered to the centre of the vellum piece using some double-sided tape and trimmed the excess to be flush with the card panel.


Finally, I added some double-sided tape to the back of the panel and adhered it to the notecard.

I posted this project on the Kaisercraft facebook group, and someone suggested that this would be a great sympathy card! Thank you for the suggestion Maree! Here’s the variation using some blue foil!


Additional materials used: Dies - DD466 Sentiments Sympathy (KC) | Other - Foil: Frost Pad (KC)

I’m also thinking this design could make a gorgeous wedding invitation design, especially using some weave cardstock instead, what do you think? I hope this project inspires you to create and add foil to your projects.


Happy papercrafting!

Explosion box (4 inch cube) - tutorial

#explosion box #tutorial Hey everyone, so in the past I've been asked by quite a few people about how I make my explosion boxes, especially the dimensions I use. I usually make explosion boxed with 3 layers, so that is the one I will be showing you step by step how to make. For the basic structure you will need: 12 x 12 inch cardstock (outer layer) 11 1/2 x 11 1/2 inch cardstock (middle layer) 11 x 11 inch cardstock (inner most layer) 7 1/16 x 7 1/16 inch cardstock (lid) 1) For each of the 'layers' you need to score at 4 inches from the edge of the cardstock. 2) Now you will need to cut off the four corner squares for each layer (note these cutouts should be 4 x 4 inches). Layers: Score along the solid lines; Cut along the dashed lines 3) For the lid you will need to score at 1 1/2 inches from the edge of the cardstock, the four corners squares should be 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches (note the centre square is 4 1/16 x 4 1/16 inches, this extra 1/16 of an in

'To know you is to love you' - card

#NativeBreeze #FauxStitching #AustralianFlora Hi all, here's my first papercraft post for 2020. Yes, it's already pretty much 1/4 of the way through the year, but better late than never! So on a recent trip to Kaisercraft, I saw the 'Native Breeze' collection and thought I just had to have it; it's gorgeous! It really showcases the beauty of Australian flora! I only used one patterned paper sheet of the project, but I definitely will be scrapbooking with this paper (hopefully soon)! *** First I cut out an 8 1/4 x 5 7/8 inch piece of black cardstock, scored along the middle at 4 1/8 inches and folded it in half to create a notecard that is 5 7/8 x 4 1/8 inches. Then I cut a white piece of cardstock to 5 7/8 x 3 3/4 inches, this will become the front panel of the card. Finally cut out a piece of patterned paper to 5 7/8 x 2 inches. Next step; using dies. I used a die-cut a bird sitting on a branch from some white cardstock. Then I created some faux
