Hello friends, it’s Kelly Daye here and hooray, we’ve made it through April! Hopefully we’ll be seeing some happy turn around in our communities really soon. Today I’m sharing cards I designed with a turn around of sorts in mind. From left to right the cut files and papers I've used are: Circles Doily from Paper 03, Flower from Paper 14, and Globe (without the stand) from Paper 23. I resized the cut files to fit my card design. The finished cards measure 6x6”.
Each features a miniaturized Paige Evans cut file that’s been paper-backed with Bloom Street. I used both the 6x8 Paper Pad and 2x2 Paper Pads for the smaller prints and other bits leftover from previous projects. For a little glamor, I used silver metallic thread to sew on matching sequins from my stash.
When you minimize a cut file by this much, the lines tend to get quite thin. So I used the Offset Tool in Silhouette Studio to make the lines thicker. Simply offset the original cut file to 0.055, then drag away the offset and erase the original. Ta-da, the lines are now thicker.
The Globe was decorated with a pretty little sticker that says, "the earth laughs in flowers" from the 4-Page Sticker Book. The other two cards have iridescent foil greetings from the Cardstock Stickers. Just dust the back of any sticker with baby powder to change it from a sticker to something you can pop up with foam dots.
I made a cut file for the card base in Silhouette Studio and it’s available for free at my website. Once assembled, a Butterfly Sticker flutters around the card.
The tab attached to each butterfly is made from Washi Tape and allows you to pull the butterfly around the card. There’s a short tutorial on my YouTube channel if you’d like to make one for a friend.
Until next time, stay well dears!
