Butterfly Card

I made this pretty card today.



I used The Kanban Designer Collection Vol. 1 to make it. The Collection on the usb is Butterfly Collection.



I used an A5 card blank. Then I printed two commentary papers, and a sheet of toppers. I chose these two toppers from the sheet I printed.



I stuck the first backing paper in place using a general craft glue. I cut it 1/2 cm smaller than the card which gives a 1/4 cm border all around.



I stuck the next backing paper on top again with a 1/4 cm border all the way around.



This is the pretty topper I chose to go on the card.



I wanted to give some dimension to the card so I put double sided adhesive foam pads on the back. Make sure you use plenty of foam pads to support the topper. If you don't it's likely over time the topper will collapse and spoil the look of the card.



Choose carefully where you want to place the topper on the front of the card. The Paper I used has a lovely butterfly border so I thought just to the side of it looked good.



Finally I finished of the card with this little bumble bee topper. Again I put those topper onto foam pads to give some dimension and to match the rest of the card.

I hope you like this tutorial and take some inspiration from it.

Until next time

Happy Crafting.

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...

Making Videos

As you know I am busy getting content onto my YouTube Channel. I have made several videos over the last couple of weeks. I am not 100% comfortable with talking on videos. I am very aware of my very Geordie accent. I also get very nervous and feel like I am stumbling over my words, or in some places I feel there are awkward silences. I have tried making videos with no commentary in them, but they aren't right either. I am hoping I have found the solution to my problem. I have discovered this handy little app. It has enabled me to edit photos together and add text instructions to the pictures. I have been playing with it over the past couple of days, and so far I am impressed. I shall be adding videos made with this app soon. In the meantime if you would like to check out my YouTube Channel  you can find it here  Celticmoon Crafts YouTube Channel Until next time Happy Crafting
