I'm b-a-c-k!! I apologize for being "silent" the last 2 weeks. I was called upon to wear my other "hat". I've spent the last 2 weeks substituting for a PRESCHOOL teacher (remember I taught High School) who has Covid!! Teaching 13 4-year olds is EXHAUSTING!! And, I'm not done, yet! I have a full day on Monday, and then we'll see.. Perhaps half days. Whatever I can do to help! So, today is World Cardmaking Day! I hope you'll take some time today to make some cards!! I am participating in a Virtual Event with 12 other demonstrators throughout Iowa. My presentation (which is taped) will be at 2:00 pm CDT. Here is the card that I will be showing!
Measurements:
- Real Red: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
- Whisper White: 4" x 5 1/4", 4 1/8" square
- 'Tis The Season DSP (N): 4" square
- Red Velvet Paper (N): 3 3/4" square, scraps
- Vellum: 3 3/4" square
- Red & Green Foil (N) : green scraps
To Make this Card:
- Trim 1 1/4" from front of folded Real Red card. Attach layers to front of trimmed card, and white inside piece to inside of card.
- Use 3rd largest circle to cut an opening in the front of card. Discard this piece.
- Cut "berry" Wreath from Vellum square and "leafy" Wreath from Red Velvet Paper. Set center of Red Velvet piece aside.
- Use Multipurpose Glue to carefully glue both wreaths to opening.
- Adhere Red Velvet scraps to pieces of Foam Adhesive. Cut out with word of your choice. Adhere to opening on right side of card.
- At this point you are done, except for the embellishing! I cut small "sprigs" from Green Foil to scatter in the Wreath, around the word, and inside the card. I added small Red Rhinestones near the sprigs, and Basic Pearls to the front.
- Finish with a greeting in Real Red ink, stamped through the opening.
