This is a card that is a little different and it uses the Contemporary Diamonds from Spellbinders.
There are three other shapes in this new style ... one is squares and the other is circles
There are three other shapes in this new style ... one is squares and the other is circles
I chose the Diamonds as it is a lovely shape.
So follow the steps and make this design for yourself with the pretty card colours that you have in your own "Stash"
Spellbinders Supplies:
- S5-131 A2 Matting Basics A
- S5-132 A2 Matting Basics B
- A2 Modern Stationery
- S4-499 Contemporary Diamonds
- S4-563 Phrases One
- GC-200 Grand Calibur Die Cutting and Embossing Machine
Other Supplies:
Instructions:
With die #9 from A2 Matting Basics A cut two pieces in blue and hinge together to form your base card
I have placed mine at the top of the card to use in Landscape
With die #9 from A2 Matting Basics B cut one layer in white and emboss to add texture to the card
(Please remember that die number one #1 is always the smallest)
With #7 from A2 Modern Stationery cut one layer in a patterned card
With the Contemporary Diamonds cut the shape four times from card of blending colours.
I chose white, lilac, turquoise and pink for mine
Decide where on the card you would like the shape to go and paper piece the other colours into the frame
I paper piece from the back and then tape them in place so that they can't fall out again but make sure you get them the correct way with all the "right" sides facing down
I have added foam pads to the back of mine to keep the paper pieces in place and to raise the shape up from my card
Cut the word of your choice in black card and black craft foam and glue the two together.
Assemble the card by adding all the layers together with foam tape between for dimension.
Add to the base card and trim the edges of the Diamond shape that my overhang neatly
Add in some enamel dots, or gemstones if you prefer, as the finishing touch and there you have a card for any occasion if you swap out the sentiment
Keep the other pieces that you cut to make another card with different combinations of paper piecing
Add in some enamel dots, or gemstones if you prefer, as the finishing touch and there you have a card for any occasion if you swap out the sentiment
More tomorrow ...

Morning, Christina,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great contemporary card! Oh dear...I see another Spellbinders die to add to my ever growing wish list, those diamonds are just great. I love the colours you chose for the inserts and, of course, there are loads left over for other cards as well. I love it when nothing goes to waste.

Another die to add to my list. Neat and simple design - very useful xx
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Christina :) Very nice cards this morning. The top one has a more masculine feel to it and the bottom one has a more feminine feel to it. Both are very appealing. Thank you so much for all the work you put into your Tuesday Tutorials. Enjoy a lovely day. Big Hugs.

ReplyDeleteContemporary cards are more difficult for me to create so I really appreciate your card and the tutorial. The card is very pretty and could definitely have multiple uses!

I think you've finally convinced me that I want this die, Christina. I've seen projects before, but never really thought I'd want the die..but after seeing the variety of cards you made..I've decided. Thank you!
