Pretty Petals Card Trio

Here are a few more cards made with the Pretty Petals papers that are on Bonus Deals this week.

Get these papers at this reduced price whilst you can! 48 sheet pack for just a few pennies over £5.... That is for 4 each of 12 double sided papers - so yes 24 paper patterns for you...really great selection...

You may think that these cards seem familiar....

They are a remake of a card in Calypso Coral we made at Quarterly Training which was in turn CASEd from the Annual Catalogue. 

I liked it so much I had to make 2 more!! 

Both a change in card blank colour and the black card carrying a butterfly too....

Small Narrow Shadow Box Frame Card!

 

Just completing my quick round up of cards over the past few days... as you read this post I will be back from a few days away - so normal service should resume shortly!

This is a smaller Shadowbox Frame card...

It started of as a 21cm square cut from a piece of A4 card... and then it as this tutorial here... apart from the score-lines are at 1,2,3 and 4 cm on all 4 sides.

Edited to Add - due to the popularity of this card format and the making some other variants .... I wrote up the full tutorials for you... Imperial (inches) and an alternative doubled version here ( with link to Metric too). Or straight to Metric here.

Ends up as a 13cm Square - or 5 1/4" Square - card. Has a totally different look with the narrower frame section at the front. 

I personally still prefer the wider frame for a card - but this had to be done! 

Typeset Box Frame Card

Last of the large Box Frame cards I made last week... yes I did make quite a few!

Again with the fabulous Butterfly Basics stamps ... have to admit that I am actually struggling not to use this set!! Time to move on....

Oh Shadowbox Frame Tutorial here for you...

Though I must let you into a little secret... I now have about 10 of the Box Frame Cards made up...no decoration.. just the basic card... I will decorate as and when required...no more not sending a friend a card as I don't have a spare hour or two to make something special for them..... and with nothing suitable in my Card Sale Box either!
