So back to my favourite papers in the Spring Summer catalogue... the stunning
Beautifully Detailed papers ... and today I have a few tips on using them...
So what are they? Detailed, laser-cut paper. Petal Pink on one side; white on the other side. One design has a 12" x 12" pattern; the other design has distinct elements to cut out and use for accents or card fronts. * 8 sheets: 4 each of 2 designs * 12" x 12" * Acid free, lignin free. Coordinating colours: Petal Pink, white
Love that you get 6 of these panels cut from each of the multi sheets...which makes 24 in total with the 4 sheets in the pack... plus 4 borders/wraps per sheet... so 16 of those...
And what's more... virtually everything else will go with them! Keeps a cardmakers life very easy to produce stunning work... but still keeping it simple!!
As I said yesterday... call this a 3 part series... so far! As I know next month's classes will include part of the packs too!! I have kept them for everyone especially!!!
So first Tip... cutting them... Cut the long 12" long border piece of first.... then the shorter (10") border strips off the side... and then chop the 6 panels into 6... they are each 8.9cm wide x 12.6cm H ... (3 1/2" x a slightly short 5"!)
Second Tip... the Mats... These are are set on a 9.3 x 13cm
(US 3 5/8" x 5 1/8") by Night of Navy mat which gives you a coloured background plus a mat around the edges... two jobs in one...
Oh and (Bonus Tip!) the small Lemon Lime Twist mat is 5 x 8.4cm
(US 2" x 3 3/8") to suit the Stitched Rectangle die cut...
Third Tip... the Card Blank... not an A6 card
(10.5cm W x 14.8cm H) ...
or an (US) A2 card (4 1/4" wide x 5 1/2" H) either...
But a quick trim down to 14 cm high for us A4 users
(ie 10.5 cm W x 14cm H) ...
or down to 4 1/8" wide for you US Letter users... (ie US 4 1/8" W x 5 1/2" H)
Also used
Rectangles Stitched dies (of course!!) and
Piece of Cake bundle...
Lemon Lime Twist &
Night of Navy... And this card is finished off with a small bow of
Lemon Lime Twist 1/4" Ombre ribbon and
Butterfly Gala Adhesive Sequin flower...
