CUTTLEBUG TUTORIALS IN THE CUPBOARD

Hi, I'm late this morning, but as they say "better late than never". Lots of reasons why, but I won't bore you with them, I'll just get on with it!

This is my "it" this week. I'm told "it" is not my usual style, and I think that's right - but then perhaps I'm a changing like the times?!?!??!


To make the card:
Card 11" x 5 1/2"
Borderabilities - Spade
Crafts-two Daisy folder
Cuddly Buddly stamp
Basic Grey papers
various bits and pieces
Centre score the card, and then score again to make a "Z" card
On the front: shape with the border die cut and emboss. You do need the tan mat to do this.
Next placing the embossing daisy folder up to the cut pattern, emboss. Please take care not to force through the bug, you don't want to break it at this busy time of the year!

Embossing like this creates interest to the inside of the flap. Unfortunately at this stage I forgot to photo what I did next! Mind must be going! But, you will see from the finished card that I taped a patterned paper under the die cut and then stuck the flap down.

To complete the inside of the card - here I was adventurous for me, (which is probably why I forgot to photo the previously stage) I actually used stamps to enhance the paper!
The inside, after stamping and playing around with a couple of flowers, wire, ribbon and leaves.

The front flap - the embossing and die cut came out well!Not sure whether I should have added the image, but I do like her!
Have a good week, I'll be back on Thursday with an update on my DAC appeal and ....?????? See you then.
