Hello again and welcome back.
This week is a layout challenge from the four cards on page 46,
so I have chosen the card on the bottom right.
I love timber elements,
and I love vellum,
and I'm quite keen on square cards
so it was an easy pick for me.
This week is a layout challenge from the four cards on page 46,
so I have chosen the card on the bottom right.
I love timber elements,
and I love vellum,
and I'm quite keen on square cards
so it was an easy pick for me.
The catalogue card must be quite small since the timber leaves are not large, but I wanted a full size card so I've scaled it up a little.
My finished card is 41/2" square, so I added another background layer.
My tips this week:
- I love vellum wrapped around- it's how I adhere vellum without worrying if any adhesive will show through, simply use double sided adhesive tape along the edges at the back and fold the vellum strip firmly around the cardstock
- the twine looped behind the sentiment piece is super easy to apply - I just staple it in place since it will be hidden. This also has the advantage of not adding any height from a knot or bow which will interfere with your postage costs
- if your sentiment is smaller than your stitched shape cut it out once with the upper and side edge positioned close to the top of your words, then cut it a second time using just the stitched straight piece close to the bottom of your sentiment for a perfect fit. This works really well for this layout because you trim the overhanging end to be flush with the edge of your vellum
Next this week is Siobhan, I can't wait to see what she has created.

Love the tips! Thankyou so much for your fabulous inspiration. Your card is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love your full sized version of this card. Beautiful colour combo and great idea with wrapping the vellum and adhering at the back.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great choice! That little card is subtly hiding on the corner of the page and I barely noticed it! I love the colors you've chosen for your project. Vellum gives everything a touch of elegance and so does that script dsp. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThis layout was made for you, then! I love this version - the colours are so pretty. I keep dismissing that DSP but this makes me want to go and use it :) Lots of great tips, thanks for sharing those. Great CASE, Liz.
