Tales Ftom the Orient

Today I have made this card using printouts from the Debbi Moore Oriental Digital Collection.

This is how I made it.

I started with an A5 card blank. I made this one using a piece of A4 card folded in half.

I cut two matching pieces from the backing paper and stuck them in place like this.

Then I stuck the first layer of decoupage in place like this. You can use foam pads here if you wish but I prefer to put the first layer down flat.

Add foam pads to the next layer. You may think this is overkill but I don't want the image to collapse over time so make sure it is well supported.

Carefully line up the image and stick in place like this.

Repeat this process with the remaining pieces. Start with the largest and end with the smallest.

You will end up with a beautiful 3D image like this

I finished the front of the card with some pretty faux gems.

This design also has a matching insert. Simply fold it in half like this.

Add some adhesive to the front side of the insert. Line it up inside the card. Fold the card in half press firmly to stick the insert in place.

Because you put the adhesive on the front of the insert it will give a very professional look when you open your card.

I hope ypu enjoyed this tutorial.

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
