Craft Spa Tutorial
1.
Mix a few Soft Suede ink drops with the
Embossing Paste
2.
Mask & apply the embossing paste to form the bricks
3.
Remove the mask (and quickly clean everything
up!)
4.
Leave to dry (I reckoned they were touch dry
after 30-40 minutes or so –maybe sooner)
6.
Turn scored card over (so mountain fold to top)
and lay down PORTRAIT (short
side across top) with the thin/1cm score line to the top
7.
Ink up & stamp the 3 hanging baskets (Memento
Black) down from the top score line
TIP: mark along top score line at 7, 10 & 16cm if you want to stamp the baskets
equidistant (1 ½”, 3 15/16” & 8 7/8”)… though I have my stamps all lined up on my Stamparatus
tool so that it is a quick job for my ladies in class
8.
Optional –for 3D baskets… Ink up and Memento stamp the 3 hanging baskets
again on scrap Thick Whisper White & colour as necessary with Stampin Blends
– and fussy cut!! Does look really nice…
9.
OPTIONAL : for 3D pots on the table… Ink up and
stamp Cajun Craze pots and Old Olive/Always Artichoke grasses… and fussy cut!
10.
Ink up & stamp Early Espresso Barn Door on a
piece of Wood Textures paper
12.
Die cut 6 Thick Whisper White windows
13.
Make up a door (Quick pictures for you here… but click
here for the full door tutorial)
And sorry - I do not know why they have turned on their sides!! But it is the same pic after all...

14.
Make up 2 windows (Again pictures here…but click

for this one)
15. Trim the brick wall piece to 7 cm (2 ¾”)wide (x2)

16.
Grab all your decorative parts… and lets make
the card!!
17.
Bone Fold main card - Bottom Front= Valley, then Peak, then Valley
and last one/thin Top Front section = Peak
18. Pencil mark centre of Bottom Front section 3 cm (1 ¼”) down… and then at 7 and 13cm (2 ¾” & 5 1/8”) across at 3 cm (1 ¼”) down. Cut out notch

19.
Apply Tear & Tape adhesive to back of Top
Front/narrow section & back of Bottom
Front ( ie at the top edge to either side of the notch)
20. Stick in the acetate to top and bottom ( I didn’t but… you may find you need to trim a sliver off the height to get it all to lay flat… depends on your prepping/scoring… )

21. Finish internal decoration... there are also the terracotta pots on the table... but these are missing from this shot as I have made another as a surprise for someone... and they would give the game away...
22. Stick brick panels to the Bottom Front sides
23. Stick in windows to left and right hand side
22. Stick brick panels to the Bottom Front sides
23. Stick in windows to left and right hand side
(a)the tops line up with the top of the card and the bottoms just cover the
bricks….. AND
(b) the outside edge of the window moulding (top and bottom) is lined up to the outside edge of the card…so you can see the acetate to the side of the main part of the window… you can trim this if you like…I didn’t bother… keeps the card stronger that way

24.
Stick in door so that it covers the windows very
slightly to left & right (well that’s the plan!!)
And the eagle eyed will have noticed a slight addition to the internal decoration in this tutorial... but more on that another day... again a surprise...

Love your card. I don't have 3 of the stamp sets (Barn Door,Bookcase Builder and Hanging Garden) and the Wood Textures DSP. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try to make your card with what I have on hand. Wish me luck!
