Welcome to another fun day of the
CardMaker,
Teresa Collins and
Xyron Blog Hop! I've enjoyed seeing what the team members have been creating and hope you have as well. I have adapted a tutorial for a
Building Block Card and changed the dimensions to accommodate the size of the Teresa Collins stenciled letters. My version makes a tall and skinny card.
1. Cut a piece of cardstock 8 1/4" x 12". With the long side against the top of the scoring board, score at 4" (mountain fold) and 8" (valley fold).
2. Pull the valley fold up like a mountain fold, and cut 1 3/4" in at the following intervals:
1/4"
2"
2 1/4"
4"
4 1/4"
6"
6 1/4"
8"
8 1/4"
3. Add a score line to the ends of each of the wide blocks ( at the 6 1/4" and 9 1/2") and fold as shown. Ink the edges of all of the folds.
4. Use a spatula to spread the Teresa Collins Basically Essential Modeling Paste over the letters from the Basically Essential Stencil to spell your sentiment. Do this over a heavy or textured paper (DCWV Burlap Paper Stack was used). Allow to dry and cut out the letters.
5. Decorate the panels with patterned paper. Use the Xyron 5" Creative Station to apply adhesive to the panels.
Hint: If you accidentally get adhesive in the wrong place, use the
Xyron Adhesive Eraser Cube to remove the boo boo. (This is also found in the T
eresa Collins/Xyron Adhesive Kit)
6. Cut letters from the patterned paper, ink the edges and apply adhesive using the
Xyron Mini Sticker Maker.
7. Add ribbon to the card using the
Xyron 1/4" Double Sided High Tack Tape.
8. Die cut flowers - cut two of the largest flowers from WorldWin's Spring Water paper. Cut the next two sizes using the WorldWin Translucent Vellum White Plaid. Ink the edges and shape. Add a Zva Creative Mini rose to the center of the flower. Assemble using the Xyron/Teresa Collins Clear Hold Adhesive.
9. Cut panels for the back of the card (for a place to write your message) using WorldWin Beargrass Petallics Cardstock. Ink the edges and adhere using the Xryon 5" Creative Station.
10. Finish assembling the card as shown.
