Making your own shaped card blanks

Good Morning Crafters
 
Well today is known as "Hump Day" only 2 more days and it is the weekend.
 
Today we have a great tutorial by Pandy on creating your own shaped card blanks
 
Products used are from Personal Impressions website.
 
For this project you will need the following:
 
 

Sweet Dixie Decorative Circular Frames die (SDD094)
Personal Impressions Premier Quality Smooth White Card
PVA glue

 

For each card cut 2 of the size circles you want.

To make the front flaps – score the 2 middle size circles at 2.5cm in from the outer tip – and the larger circle 3.5cm in from the outer tip.

 

For the larger card - cut a back piece 13.5cm x 15cm

For the smaller card - cut a back piece 9cm x 10.5cm

 
 

Run a thin layer of PVA glue onto the back of the scored front flap and stick it to the back section of the card.

Kitten tip – if you use a tiny amount of PVA rather than double sided tape you will have a little time to line the flaps up properly before it sets.
 


 
 Decorate your card blanks as you wish.
 
Many thanks for visiting today
 
Do you have any hint or tips you would like to share?
