i made these cards last night. i used sketch #57 from card positioning systems
i find that i don't want to use the cards that i have made, so if i make a few that are the same, then a least i use some of them. also, making 2 or more of the same goes quite quickly. i will pop these in my card tin, to use later.
i used white treasures cardstock, the red scollop is from bazzill, and the blue 'happy birthday' paper is from pebbles. the birthday charms are part of a pack from making memories.
i figured out how to cut one sheet of 12x12' / 30x30cm cardstock to make 3 cards.
cut off the barcode strip, if there is one. measure 20cm or 8' from the top of the page, and cut across. fold the narrow piece of paper in half, so you have one card. the bigger piece you cut in half again from top to bottom as shown, and fold both pieces in half, to make 2 cards. the resulting cards are all about 10x15cm or 4x6'. you can cut some sheets of cardstock in different colours this way, and keep the 'blanks' ready for when you need to make a card. of course, if you use your scraps to make cards, then the size of your card will be according to the size of your scrap.
as there are people who read this blog who do not have access to scrapbooking classes, i have planned a few 'tutorials' to post in the next few weeks. i will show you how to make a shaker box, and how to fold an origami box. i'll even show you how to ink/distress. would you like that? let me know. also, if there is something you would like me to teach you, tell me, and i'll see what i can do.
