Masculine Card Tutorial

Hello Crafters,

Today we have a quick and easy card tutorial for you based on the theme of the month. This is a fun and easy card that you can make utilising your dies and embossing folders.

Here's a look at the card

Supplies used:

• Nakshatra Designs - Master and Mister Collection 6x6
• Embossing Folder- Kaisercraft Diamonds
• Kaisercraft Decorative Rectangle Die- Fancy Frame
• Spellbinders Matting Basics A Die
• Sizzix Framelits- Stephanie Bernard Sentiment Collection
• White Cardstock
• Vintage Photo Distress Ink
• Archival Ink Vermillion
• Scoreboard
• Foam Tape

You could use any dies and embossing folder that you have.

First, prepare your base. Score a 8"x 12" cardstock at 6" on the 12" side. Fold and this makes your card base.

Next, cut a 6" patterned paper at 5 1/2" . Use another patterned paper at cut 1 1/2" x 5 1/2". Distress the edges of both these pieces using distress ink. 

         

 

Emboss the above two pieces using any embossing folder.

Next, using assorted pattern papers, cut different sizes with your dies. 

Once done, play around with your arrangement and begin adhering everything with foam tape. Most paper packs also come with some element sheets. So you can cut out some elements and use them as well to complete your card. 

Hope you enjoyed this easy tutorial!

Altered Bottle project by GDT Hema

Hi Dearies.....

I have a new altered project to share with you and the supplies used here would be from Crafts Need a place for all our crafty need.  I have used Magnolia and Animal print card stock from DCWV from the store and other crafty supplies.

In today's project I have used a empty box of Jack Daniel.  So let's start the tutorial for the same and alter this box together.Let me share some close ups of the bottle before that.

 

I have picked two 12x12 scrapbook sheets, which co-ordinate with each other for this project. I picked one animal prints and one plain thick card stock for this project.  I covered the box with pattern paper …...here I wanted make a corset dress form so I measured a inch gap and punched holes and inserted eyelets and fixed it. Later I took a silk twine and inserted into the eyelets and stuck the box.  

 Next I covered the box with plain CS which matches the pattern paper.  I stuck it and gave a fold at the edges and stuck some lace and pearls around and decorated the box.

Now after I finished embellishing I die cut CS and further decorated it....as shown in the pics.

  This is how I decorated the altered box.  Hope you guys liked it and would surely give a try.  This box can be used for gifting as candle box, for artist brushes....ideas are many...and choices too.

Will be joining with you all very soon.

Lots of love and Happy crafting

Hema
