Folded Paper Frame Card

by design team member...Jane

This is a neat technique, thanks Jane

you can do so much with it...

Here is what I made with this tutorial...

it's so cool...you can really emphasize that special stamp or item...

you could even put something small that you want to give as a gift...

like a small charm, use some removable adhesive to the back of the charm

and put it in the frame ... what a fun idea...

I just thought of that...heehee

Maybe I will try that...lol

Good Monday Morning

did I hear someone sneeze?

NO...it's a card with tissue...

Today's challenge at

Friends of Speedy TV aka FOSTV...

is to use tissue on your project...

 

I learned a new technique that I just love...

I think it's called Felted Cardstock...

I found it on Splitcoaststampers...

In short it's adding Tissue Paper Napkins to your cardstock...

it's a great tutorial

It has a great walk thru tutorial as well as a great video tutorial...

check it out...

 

Well I used a tissue paper instead of Party Napkins for my project...

 

 

I took a piece of this great tissue paper and 'glued' it onto my white cardstock...

and it worked out great...

go to the Splitcoaststampers tutorial on Felted Cardstock for more info...

I used a Stampin Up flower punch and a paint sample thing,

for the flowers...oh what a great idea to recycle those out of date

paint chip samples...

 

Want to own this darling stamp set?

 

 

Well all you have to do is create a card using tissue paper,

Challenge 45

Stand Up Z Fold Card

 

 

Are you ready?

 

Lets get started...

 

here is what you will need...

 

Card base 4 ¼ x 11   ~ score @ 2 ¾ & 5 ½ on the long side

Base card stock color 3 x 4 ¼ and a 2 ¾ x 4 plain card stock to stamp front main image on

Mat designer series papers 4 x 2 ½ & 4 x 5 ¼

Adhesive of choice

 

Flower or Button or something to put at the top to secure it for displaying. (I used a brad to secure the flower to the back base card and covered it with a charm.)



Fold card at the 5 ½ score and then at the 2 ¾ score fold it back to the back edge of the card, creating a ‘Z’ in your card base…

Add your designer series papers as shown.

Stamp your image/images on the 2 ¾ x 4 plain card stock.



 

Adhere the stamped image to the 3 x 4 ¼ card stock base.

Place the matted stamped image over the front half of the z fold card, ONLY putting adhesive on the bottom to attach it to the Z card base…as shown.

Now add an embellishment to the top of the back, this will hold the card together so when you stand it up it will not fall over or collapse down.

 

How fun was that...?

 

Now it's up to you...

Join in on the fun...

Follow this tutorial and

go to Tutorial Time on Speedy TV 

look for Challenge # 45
