Hi EverybodyThis simple card is created as a smaller sized card using A2 Matting Basics
I have embossed the top layer with the Bricks and Bark embossing folder from Spellbinders just to add more texture to my design
I have been asked how I join the two base card pieces together ... there is a video to show you what I do and I always use a wet glue for a stronger bond
Double sided tape tends to dry out after a while and the card will start to come apart
And although in the tutorial I am using the 5x7 the principal is the same ... Hinged Card Style whichever of the matting basics that you use
And if you are wondering why you would need two sets of dies that look identical ... here is another tutorial which explains that they are not the same at all ... Spellbinders Matting Basics
I have hand cut the banner shape and topped it with the Rosette Blooms from the Celebrations Collection from Spellbinders
The pink ribbon has just been tied into a bow behind the bloom and some pearls added around the tag
A quick and easy card to make or keep in your "Ready To Go " box for any of those unexpected occasions when somebody needs a card in a hurry. Add any sentiment you have to suit and there you go ...
Just A Note ...
I was due to be on Create and Craft next week but I will not be there. It is Pats' funeral on Tuesday and I will be attending to say my final Goodbyes to my very dear friend.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

ReplyDeleteDear Christina, my thoughts are with you as you say your goodbyes to your dear friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Christina sorry to hear that we won't be seeing you next week, but hope to see you very soon. A sad day for you and will keep you in my thoughts xx
ReplyDeleteA simple card which could be for any occasion. don't have Rosette blooms die, but might try using your pleated card tutorial I found a little while back and see if that works .
ReplyDeleteI have just completed the card I made from the pleated card tutorial and hope to get it into your gallery soon.
