Nestabilities - Wibbly Wobbly Card

I'm calling this week's card a "wibbly wobbly" one - the name just suits the type of card and effect you get. This is a very easy card to make, but the result nevertheless looks good.

Materials needed:
8" x 4" Black cardstock - centre scored
3.3/4" Square of red card embossed with
Cuttlebug Happy Birthday folder
2 Nestie circles
2 Nestie squares
Stamps and a coil of thin wire

After stamping the images on the circles - next secure the wire
to the back of back circle and glue the two circles together.



The wire is then attached to the back of the embossed square - not very tidy, but the front looks okay.













Your embellishment can now be mounted on the base cardstock.

You could leave your card like this, but I promised last week to show you how to get a different use out of your Nestie Squares which will add to the overall effect and is well worth the effort.

I have used them to make photo corners. I have been looking for a punch to do this, but couldn't track one down. So....I improvised.....

Using a magnetic mat, position two squares as shown and cut.










After cutting, remove the inner square and keeping the card
inside the outer, with an embossing pen emboss run round the edge.







This is the the effect you get and you then only need to cut across the corner. Your photo corner!

The best of this is that you can do different thickness of corners by using
different sizes of squares and you could also vary the length. Something
that you cannot do with a punch! Thinking about it now....you could place
more than two squares on the magnetic mat and make lots...and the middle is not wasted...you can always use this as a mat!

I have decorated the inside of the card, but time restraints mean I will have to show you this on Tippy Thursday's post. I can tell you, however, that I was really chuffed with the result. This time I did use a punch, with a twist!?!?!?

Hope you'll have time to drop by.
