scrap with stardust

#moon  #astronauts #apollo50th Guess what everyone?! It's the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing! I'm sure many are reliving the epic moments of the first steps on the Moon (sadly I didn't exist back then, but I can still celebrate!) Here's to astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, the crew of Apollo 11 :) *** So how do I go about celebrating? By making a card of course! This card is supposed to resemble the following photo, most epic anti-selfie ever taken! The picture is of the Moon, lunar module and the Earth, the only person not in the picture is the person who took the photo, Michael Collins! Earth's Moon - Apollo 11  - Credit: NASA  For the base of the card I used two 6 1/8 x 4 1/4 inch notecards. This card is going to be a shadow box card! I have a tutorial on how to create this card here . Make sure to check out my instagram to see the card pop-up action . We'll be making the same card as the tutorial, but wit...

#dimension #fun #shadow box Hello paper crafters! So this is the second tutorial post this week, perhaps this is too many posts this week... but I am finding the blogging on my train rides to and from uni is a great way to pass the time! In this tutorial I'll be describing the process to create a basic shadow box card! *** For this card you will need: 6 1/8 x 4 1/4 inch notecard (x 2) 5 1/2 x 3 3/4 inch piece of patterned paper Collectables The easiest way to make the following cards is to use pre-made notecards. I used white rectangle notecard packs from Kaisercraft. *** Step 1 Note: Refer to the diagram below! - Solid lines = score lines - Dashed lines  = cut lines - Shaded areas = parts that are cut out Take one notecard and cut-off a 1/2 inch from the edge of one panel (this is Notecard #1 ). With the other card ( Notecard #2 ), you want to score 1/2 inch from the edge of Panel 1 (this creates Fold 1 ), and then score 1/2 inch from the midd...

#peachy #thankful #brick wall Hi everyone, hope all your papercrafting is going well! So back in January I went to Japan 2 weeks, it was an amazing experience! I'm slowly getting around to scrapbooking them. So here's a layout I did using a brick wall design . *** For the base of this layout I used a 12 x 12 inch plain cardstock and for the brick wall pattern I used a 12 x 12 inch patterned paper. To create the brick wall paper use this linked tutorial . After completing steps 1-4 of the tutorial you should have a base layout that has a brick wall pattern. Note: The above tutorial was created after this layout was created. If you can find what's a bit wrong with this layout comment down below! If you follow the tutorial you should get a seamless looking brick wall layout :) The next step is to make the frames to go on this wall.  First I cut out two sentiments (one rectangle and one square) from a 12 x 12 piece of patterned paper (the sentiment page from...

#bricks #brick layout #tutorial Hi everyone, so I didn't upload a craft project last week since I was attending an astronomy/astrophysics conference. Had a wonderful time in Brisbane, but the conference was a bit mentally exhausting, so time to do some craft blogging! I have started doing more layouts lately (it's definitely an area I need work on) and one of the designs I had in mind was a brick wall layout. In this tutorial, I will be describing the process to create brick wall layout. *** For this layout you will need: 12 x 12 inch plain cardstock (for the base) 12 x 12 inch patterned cardstock (for the brick pattern) *** Step 1 Cut the patterned piece of paper into horizontal strips that are 1 7/8 inches in width. You should have 6 strips plus some excess, you will not need this excess piece of paper for the brick layout design. Make sure to keep the strips in order! Note: For the next steps we will be working with centimetres rather than i...
