Hi, I hope you are all well. I was looking for an unusual card to do for my turn at card class.  I came across this card.  Its another very simple and easy to make card, but i think it looks very effective. 1         Cut the paper to the following sizes: Plain Lilac Paper – 5 ½” x 5 ½”          Single Side Spotty Paper – 5 ¼” x 5 ¼ “ Single sided Flower Pattern – 5” x 5” Double sided Flower Paper – 5 ¼” x 5 ¼” 2           Mat and layer the papers, 1 st Plain, 2 nd Spotty and 3 rd Floral single sided. 3           Using the double-sided piece – (floral side up), mark the centre of the paper. 4           Fold the corner points to touch the centre point, so there should only be the spotty paper seen.  5           Once all the corners have been folded in,...

Cardmaking Templates Creating a particular cardmaking template can help you to make some really stunning cards plus it will serve as a reminder for you when you need to make it again. Not only do templates help you to see the required measurements but it allows you to build up your confidence as you make them.

Tips Use some of your old scraps or card, if your like me, there will be loads knocking around Make all your lines and instructions clear and bold, so that you will see what you need to follow Store them safely in a folder to be re-used again and again whenever you need them.  I find this particularly useful if it has been some time since I did a project, and need a little refresher on what to do.     This beautiful Japanese Dream Bridge Card   has been c...
