Presents & Pinecones Large Square Double Display Card & A4 Tutorial

A Fancy Fold Friday post with Tutorial for you. This is the Tutorial for the Large Square Double Display Card from A4 cardstock which I thought I had already published - but discovered I had not. So thought I should quickly rectify the situation!!

And remember that these Presents & Pinecones papers are on Special Offer this month

And here are the links to the Large Square Double Display Card Tutorials using 12x12 cardstock  versions - inches and centimetres.

Large Square Double Display Card Tutorial– A4 Metric Version 

You will need:-

Thick Whisper White A4 Cardstock 15x 29cm

Whisper White 12x12 Cardstock 15cm Square

Early Espresso Cardstock 10 cm Square

Presents & Pinecones Paper Mint Macaron 9.5cm Square (x2)

Presents & Pinecones Paper Stripe/Fronds 4.5cm x 9.5cm (x2)

Presents & Pinecones Paper Stripe/Fronds 4.5cm x 2cm (x2)

Stamps & Dies – Christmas Pines

 1.       PORTRAIT. Line up at 2.5cm on Top Bar

2.       Cut from 2 to 12cm. LIFT. Cut from 17 to 27cm

3.       Turn 180 degrees & Repeat 1-2

4.       LANDSCAPE. Score across whole width at 4.5, 9.5, 19.5 & 24.5cm

5.       LANDSCAPE. Score top and bottom sections at 2, 12, 17 & 27cm
(TOP TIP - you will find 17cm difficult to find/do on a Trimmer!! So alternatively…
Line up at 12cm to LEFT HAND SIDE. Score top and bottom sections

Line up at 2 cm to RIGHT HAND SIDE, Score top and bottom sections

Turn 180degrees and repeat for 12cm LHS and 2cm RHS)

6.       With panel PORTRAIT out in front of you… Hand fold from edge facing you…
1^st LH & RH outer score-lines - Mountain folds
1^st centre section score line - Mountain fold
4^th/last LH & RH outer score lines- Valley fold
2^nd/last centre section - Valley fold ( you can put your fingers through the previous folds to do so!)

3^rd outers - Mountain Fold (will have happened automatically!)

2^nd outers – Valley Fold (will have happened automatically!)
NOTE – the photos are of a Small Square Double Display Card but show you what you need to do!!

7.       Fold up towards centre, ensure cut-lines/sections lined up & free to move & then Bone Fold
TIP – an extra “crease” will now magically appear in the centre of the 4 top & bottom outer sections – do not worry, you will be covering these! But don’t further crease or bone-fold it!!! 

8.       Repeat 6-7 from other side

9.       Decorate the Card Front
(a) Adhere Mint Macaron Paper to Early Espresso Square panel
(b) Adhere to 15cm Whisper White Square Panel
(c) Chop in half at 7.5cm (best to use a guillotine cutter as you have 3 layers to cut through…)

(d) Stamp Early Espresso greeting on RIGHT HAND section
(e) Adhere these Card Front Sections to front LH & RH sections of Main Card – one at a time lining everything up nicely as you go! 

TOP TIPS – put glue on front sections of Main Card NOT the back of the Card Front Sections!!! Or you will have glue where you don’t want it!!!

I would recommend also Tombow – I have only used Sticky Strip for the photo so you can see where to put the glue! 

10.   Stamp, die cut and decorate as necessary
TIPS

(       (a)    the pine boughs are a Mint Macaron one layered over an Emerald Envy one. Layered as a shadow

        (b)    the seed-head is die cut in Cherry Cobbler and then the stalks coloured using an Early Espresso marker pen – leaving the berries in red…

        (c)     The central square paper panel is stamped with Mint Macaron stars/snowflakes from the Christmas Pines stamp set– subtle but adds great detail…

Butterfly Basics Shadow Box Frame Card for a Special Occasion

butterbox
I promised you another version of the card I shared yesterday – so here it is…

Made for a very special girls’ 21st Birthday coming up very soon… Happy 21st Birthday Kaisha…

And it will be no surprise that… the only difference is the number 21 instead of the butterflies!

And I have to laugh  - as not only do I think  that Kaisha will love this card – but I know her mum will too.

Mum picked up Joe’s 16th card shared last week and oohed and aahed over it – so she will definitely be WOWed over this one…

Butterfly Basics Shadow Box Frame Card

Here is another Shadow Box Frame Card I made.

This time I have completely and unashamedly CASED my upline, Julie Kettlewell’s stunning card… Well you trying looking at this one and not wanting to make it!

And oh…  I can now confirm that the Butterflies Framelits have finally landed back in the UK!! So you can now buy the Bundles again…. 

But do also remember that these fabulous Something Borrowed papers are only available until 2nd June! These have definitely been an all-time favourite of mine – time to stock up!

Just 3 differences to Julie’s…. 

Firstly I used Blackberry Bliss & Sahara Sand (whereas Julie used Early Espresso & Sahara Sand).

Secondly – I used my Box Frame method which means it is “boxed/sealed” all the way round. I have definitely got into the groove with these….

And thirdly – a Rich Razzleberry button from the Brights Collection button pot to give an extra pop of colour

And here it is – ready in a box for handing over….

This is a 1” deep box – but I realised that a 3/4” deep box means that it can be used for the large letter postage scale in the UK – whereas the deeper box (which does look better!!) has to be hand delivered – or pay the price for a small parcel…

Go to Julie’s blog here for the 1” deep box instructions . Or here for my 3/4” deep instructions.

So I just have to say… Thank you Julie – me and my ladies love this card! In fact I liked this card so much I made another for a special occasion.So pop back tomorrow for another version…
