Pyramid Card Tutorial

This is the first of what I hope will become a regular tutorial feature. I thought I would go back to basics and make a simple pyramid card.



Let's start with what you will need.
1) Printed sheet to make the card. This one is a die-cut sheet from my crafty stash.
2) A sheet of plain A4 card to make the card base. This one is white, but you can use any colour.
3) Decorative paper to comment your card image.
4) Foam pads or 3D glue, whichever you prefer.
5) Regular glue. There is a huge range of glues on the market, so use the one you are happiest with.
6) Embellishments.
7) Gold Mirri Card



First of take your sheet of plain card to make your card base.



Fold the card in half like this to make an A5 card blank. This is the base ypu will use for your card.



To create the background cut a piece of the decorative card 1/4 of an inch smaller on the width and length of the front of the card. This will give you 1/8th of an inch border all of the way round. Glue it in place like this. Do not use a lot of glue. You just need a small amount.



To create the base layer of you paramage image take your latest picture image, cut a piece of the gold mirror card 1/4 of an inch longer and wider than your image. 



Glue your image onto the gold card like this. Then glue the image to your base card in the centre of the top half of the card front.



Next take the second layer of the pyramage. This will be the next smallest layer. Put foam pads or 3D glue on the back like this. Make sure the layer is well supported so it doesn't sag anywhere.



To position the layer I find it best to stand over the card so I am looking down on it from above. This makes it easier to match the pattern up. Carefully match up the pattern with the layer below and fix into place.



Continue like this working from largest to smallest image and you will end up with some thing like this. The shape gives this technique the name pyramage because it looks like a pyramid.



Add a sentiment which has also been mounted on gold mirri card. If you wish you can mount this on foam pads so it matches up with ypur main image.



Finally add some embellishments. Hete I have added some butterflies and faux gems in complimentary colours.

Once you have practiced you can make lots of variations of this type of card.

Enjoy.

Creative Christmas Crafting

     Today's card is made using the Paper Pantry Vol X11 USB by Creative Crafting World. I used an 8x8 in card blank. I used a mat of gold mirri card which I cut to 7.75 by 7.75 ins and then glued it onto the front of the card. I chose two matching backing papers. These paper patterns are also reflected in the topper I chose. I chose the decorative paper first and cut it to 7.5x7.5 ins and glued it on top of the mirri card. Next I cut a piece of gold mirri card at 5.25x5.25 ins and glued it in the middle of the card. I cut the green paper at 5x5ins and glued it on top of the mirri card. The plain green paper is one of the coloured cards from the Collection. As it was just going into mats and layers I just printed it onto paper. I chose the topper and when I had cut it out I measured it and cut a piece of gold mirri card quarter of an inch bigger all around. Then I carefully glued them into the centre of the card. You could leave it at that but I wanted to add something extra. I had...
