Tuesday Tutorial - Feels Like Frost Gap & Scrap cards

Another Feels Like Frost & Frosted Foliage card for you... check out the shiny foiled side of these papers!

But be warned... as I am loving this card! It is just a perfect format with these beautiful Frosted Frames die cuts...

And as promised... one tutorial... but for 2 cards...

So I am calling this a "Gap card"... as

(1) I just think that just sums it up...

And (2) Gap just happens to rhyme with Scrap...

Which is what I called this co-ordinating card I shared yesterday... as that is just created with the paper scrap left from my Gap card...

Though I know there are other names for this card fold out there... such as Split Panel card ... Floating Card (though the more recent  Floating Die Cut Frame card or abbreviated Floating Frame card or Floating card or has kind of taken over for that name)... as well as Gap card... 

And so onto the Tutorial for you... photos from a remake going on behind the scenes for my non Christmas classes this week! Hence the change in colours and papers... and the front panel! Sorry for any confusion that causes!!! But I thought best to share with photos than without...

Craft Spa Tutorial

1.       Large panel LANDSCAPE

2.       Cut at 5cm

3.       Move along and Score at 5cm

4.       Bone Fold

5.       Adhere papers

6.       Put temporary glue on back of small panel

7.       Line up at bottom of main card & temporarily adhere TIP – use grid paper to aid your eye in getting things all straight

8.       Thinking about where you need your glue, apply glue to top and bottom of fancy die cut frame ( or matted stitched rectangle as in this example!)

TIP – I tend to just use a finger or thumb to eyeball where I don’t want my glue to go…but you can mark the back of the card as shown here…

9.       Adhere the frame

10.   Decorate as required
TIP – I used a ½” Circle Punch (now retired) to trim the 4 corners of my Seaside Spray mat to match the corners of the die cut greeting frame)

11. Rub off the temporary glue (I just used my finger... but the retired Adhesive Remover works a treat too!

12.  Adhere the left over piece of paper to the front of a standard A6 card blank… and decorate as required… 

And here are the 2 cards together... 

And apologies to my American subscribers... I will be back with measurements for an A2 version sometime soon... I had an unexpected but lovely visitor today... so the time just went...
