Cards and Tutorials!



It is time to show off some more of our DT Member, Lynette Jacobs' work!  She created some wonderful cards for us using her kit from Scrapbook Studio!!


Today I am going to show you how to make some pretty cards in a few simple steps.  First we will be making this card:

 Step one:  Cut a piece of cardstock 21,5cm by 14 cm, fold it in half and score it along the center.
 Step two:  Cut a piece of printed paper slightly smaller than your card front.
Step three:  I pasted a doily to the front of the card.  Cut off the excess from the doily.
Step four:  Tie a piece of matching ribbon around the front of your card.  Make it long enough to enable you to make a bow.  Before you make the bow, thread a piece of twine through a metal heart and tie it to the ribbon at the same place where the knot of the ribbon is.
Step five: Tie the ribbon and the twine into bows.
Step six:  Attach a tag to the front of the card with the edge under the ribbon.  I used a Martha Stewart tag cut in half.
Step seven:  Choose a sentiment.  I used a rub on.  Make sure of your placement before you attach it.
Step eight:  Apply the rub on.  I then attached a glittered chipboard heart to the side of the ribbon.  If you have naked chipboard.  Cut out a heart, paint it white or cream.  When dry apply Glossy accents and then immediately sprinkle white glitter onto the wet glossy accents.  I finished the card by applying a Prima flower onto the heart.

The second card we will be making is the following:

 Step one:  Cut a piece of cardstock 21,5cm by 14 cm, fold it in half and score it along the center.
 Step two:  Cut a piece of printed paper slightly smaller than your card front.
Step three:  Attach a journal tag to the front of the card.  Again I used a Martha Stewart card.
 Step four:  Apply a strip of lace to the front of the card.
Step five:  attach a glittered chipboard heart to the side of the ribbon.  If you have naked chipboard.  Cut out a heart, paint it white or cream.  When dry apply Glossy accents and then immediately sprinkle white glitter onto the wet glossy accents.
Step six:  Layer a star over your chipboard heart.
Step seven:  Finish off your heart embellishment by threading twine through a button and then pasting it to the star.  
Step eight: Work out the placement for your sentiment and apply the rub on.
Step nine:  I added some pearls and it is done.
