Hexagonal Dimension Cards. *VIDEO*

Hi everyone, I've got such a fun card fold to share with you today.  It's a hexagonal card that folds completely flat for mailing, but automatically pops open into a very dimensional card when taken out of the envelope.

 

 

Paper Rose Studio Supplies:  Rainbow Village Basics 6x6 Paper Collection 35319 , Rainbow Village 6x8" Embossed Die Cuts 35343, Rainbow Village 6x8" Quick Card Collection 35352 , Rainbow Village Basics 12x12 Paper Collection 35322.   Other - 8 mil Acetate

 

 I've used acetate for each of these cards, and I would definitely recommend using a thicker acetate for these if you choose to do the same.  However, you can just as easily make the horizontal bands from cardstock or a thicker patterned paper.  All of these cards are in a 5 x 7" format, but again, you can easily adjust that to suit whatever papers and dies you are using.  You just want to aim to have roughly even 1/3 sections that correspond on the card base and on the horizontal bands.  On my cards, the middle section is slightly wider than the outer edge sections.  If you would like to join me to watch the video, PLEASE CLICK HERE.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a happy, creative day!

Use Your Scraps to Add Inside Interest! *VIDEO*

Hello everyone!  I've got a fun Valentine's Day card to share, but it could be used for any occasion.  It's a great way to use up some of your scraps, either white or coloured cardstock scraps, or even patterned paper scraps.  And it's easy to do!

 

 Paper Rose Studio Products used: Perfect Pairs 6x8" Embossed Die Cuts 35800, Perfect Pairs 6x8" Tags & Tickets Embossed Die Cuts 35842 , Perfect Pairs 6x6 Paper Collection 35776, Nesting Hearts Metal Cutting Die 28813, Jumbo Alphabet Metal Cutting Die 17946

 

 

So as you can see, I've kept the front of the card quite simple as this card is likely going to be displayed open.  There is a bit of bulk to the card, so it's the kind of card that is best suited to being handed over to the recipient.   But wouldn't it be fun with birthday balloons, cake and presents? It's a great way to use some of those beautiful die cut images that Paper Rose has.  I hope you will come join me for the video to see how it's made.  To watch the video, PLEASE CLICK HERE.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rainbow Fun! *VIDEO*

Hello again everyone - I hope you all had a very happy Christmas.  I've got 3 card styles to share with you today, ranging from very quick and easy to slightly more complex.  I've used Paper Rose Studio's Rainbow Village collection for these and I think you're going to love this collection!  It's super bright and whimsical.

Paper Rose Studio supplies used:  Rainbow Village Basics 12x12 Paper Collection 35322, Rainbow Village 12x12 Paper Collection 35487, Rainbow Village 6x8" Quick Card Collection 35352, Rainbow Village 6x8" Embossed Die Cuts 35343, Rainbow Village Cut Aparts 35346, Rainbow Wood 6x6 Paper Collection 31040, Window With Bricks Metal Cutting Die 22501 

So as you can see, the first card is very simple and quick to make.  The second card is a swing fold card, and I love that the front and back of the circle can have completely different images.  The third card is a Bay window style card, and I've got some of the birds from the collection peeking in the window.

I have all the measurements and instructions in my video, so I hope you will come join me there.  To see the video, PLEASE CLICK HERE. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
 

Super FUN Card Fold. *VIDEO*

 Hello everyone, and Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate it!  I've got a really fun card fold to share with you today, and while my card is a Christmas card, please remember that this card fold could be used for any occasion and you may already have everything in your stash.

Paper Rose Studio Supplies used:  Joy to the World 12x12 Paper Collection 35503, Joy to the World Basics 12x12 Paper Collection 35536, Joy to the World 6x8" Embossed Die Cuts 35524, Joy to the World 6x8" Cut Aparts 35527 

I think you can see a little more of the dimension in the last photo.  When the card comes out of the envelope, it's very intuitive to see how it needs to be "fluffed" up to stand properly.  However, it will fold completely flat for mailing.  I love how there are so many areas where you can add images or die cuts, maybe even sentiments.  You could also attach acetate strips to have things hang down from the top if it suited your card.

I have all the instructions in a video for you, so I hope you will come see how this card is made.  To watch the video, PLEASE CLICK HERE.

Thank you for stopping by today and I truly hope you have a very happy Christmas!
