THANKS FOR EVERYTHING CARD

Posted on October 10, 2016 in 3D, Cards, Recent Works, Techniques, Tutorials

Hello crafty friends, today I want to share with you a fall card that I made using two of my top products for creating cards.  These are total “must-haves” in my crafty bag. If you want to know what they are, take a look at my card and follow my tutorial.

Creating this card is easier than it looks and it is called Double Z-Fold card. Here is how I made this:

Cut the base of the card using Soft Suede card stock. The size is 4-1/4″x11″. Then I made score in 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″

Cut and strip of card stock in a contrast color. The size is 11″x1-1/2″. Make score in 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″

Cut and paste the layers to decorate the fronts of your card.  To paste the layers of my cards, I always use Helmar Quick Fix Permanent Adhesive Runner as this is my number one product. I pasted the inside layer first. The size of this is 4″x5-1/4″.

Then with the same adhesive, I pasted the outside layers. The size of the pool party mat is 2-1/2″x4″ and the decorated layer is 2-3/8″x3-7/8″.

Now comes the moment to stamp and cut your images. For this purpose I used different designer papers for the base and different colors of inks for the leaves. I fussy cut the leaves with scissors.

Then I pasted the Z-Fold banner using Helmar Quick Fix Permanent Adhesive Runner only on the left and right sides on the opposite side of the card as you can see in the photos below.

I stamped the sentiments thanks for everything and pasted the leaves using Zapdots, my second essential product as a cardmaker, white and clear.

As final touch I added an Aqua Skittle using Helmar Gemstone Glue on the center of the leaves. This adhesive is perfect to paste plastic, glass beads, rhinestones or pearls on my projects. You may notice in my photo that it looks white, but the advantage is that when it dries, it is totally clear and looks transparent.

This is another view of my card – this is how it looks from a top view.

I hope my project inspired you, and come back soon for more creative ideas using Helmar Products!

Thank you for stopping by and Thanks for Everything!
