Shutter Card

Following on from my scan and cut post on Monday. I thought I wouldxshow you what I did with one of the card blanks I cut.



I cut this shutter card blank on my scan and cut. When folded flat the card will fit in an 8 inch square envelope.



I chose a Hunkydory kit that I had in my stash. I started by cutting a square of card to fit the centre panel, leaving a small border around the card.



Next I chose a topper that sat nicely in the middle. The topper has a gold edge which makes it look as if it has been matted onto mirri card.



I chose a contrasting card for the side panels. The gold foiling pulls it together with the topper.





I chose another contrasting card for these panels. I thought the border framed the topper nicely.



I completed the panels with a green card in a similar colour to the card with the blue borders.



The final addition to the card was a little sentiment in the same shape as the topper.

A very pretty card for any occasion.

Christmas Mini Album Page 1

Today I have done the first page of my mini album. It's a simple gatefold page. I cut the page to 7.5x7.5 ins. The two side flaps are cut at 5.5x5.5 ins and scored at 1.5 ins on the short side. I stuck the flaps at each side of the page to form the gatefold. I chose complimentary papers in traditional Christmas colours from rhe Classic Christmas Collection by Hunkydory. I cut all of the papers .25 of an inch smaller than the pages and flaps to give a border all of the way round. If you are using magnet closures remember to place them before you add your decorative papers. If you would like to see a video showing how I made this album page here is the link  page 1 I have also done a short video showing how I add my album pages which you can find here  adding pages to album Until next time Happy Crafting

Christmas Mini Album

As part of my Christmas in July Event I have today started work on a new Mini Album The papers I am using for the Album are The Classic Christmas Collection from Hunkydory. I have the Hunkydory at Home usb so I can print as many sheets as I need which is a good thing. I started with the cover today. The album is 8x8ins so I cut a piece of gold mirri card 7.75x7.75ins to go on the front. I then cut a piece of paper from the Collection 7.5x7.5ins and stuck it on top of the mirri card. I chose a topper to match the paper to add to the front. It's worth adding here that I cut the topper out on my scan and cut. All of the Hunkydory at Home toppers have lines that in the original die cut toppers were where you popped out the different layers. If you scan your sheet and use the direct cut function your machine will recognise these lines as cut lines and cut the toppers out perfectly. I added handmade paper poinsettias and Holly leaves that I had in my crafty stash. Now it just has to dry ...
