Card Tutorial – Metallic Masculine card

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 07:23:13 +0000

Today’s card is a VERY masculine card. This card incorporates real metal, from a Pepsi can I (very carefully!) cut up, flattened, punched out several squares and cuttlebugged using the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I’ve used thin chipboard squares to create a chess board effect alongside the metal squares. I stapled the chipboard squares in a cross just to add to the metal theme. I then had to run these through the Cuttlebug to flatten the staples to allow me to adhere them down to the project. I did this by stacking my A plate, an embossing folder (with nothing inside it – this is just to pad out the stack), then a B plate (embossing plate), a piece of card to cushion the staples and a final B plate (cutting plate). Sounds complicated, but essentially all I’ve done is create a stack thick enough to compress the staples, without causing damage to my machine ;0) You may need to vary this stack as each machine may differ. DON’T FORCE your machine, just remove a layer of c.s. if it’s too difficult to turn the handle.

The sentiment part of the card uses a Fun Doodle Tags stamp set from MyGrafico.com. I just *HEART* this stamp set! It has so many uses! I’m always flapping around trying to find something suitable to stamp my sentiment onto, so this a great stamp set that’s a must-have for everyone’s crafting stash. And don’t forget, as it’s digital, you can resize any of the 8 tags to fit any width of sentiment, and therefore to suit any project – so that makes it great for scrapbooking too.

When scrapbooking and buying special background paper, do you still use the album paper?

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 00:07:08 +0000

I am just getting into scrapbooking due to the new addition in my family. I am wondering, when you go out and purchase the nice pretty background paper, do you glue that to the provided white paper of the scrapbook or do you omit the white paper and just use the pretty paper?

I have chosen to not glue anything to the scrapbook white board. I figured if I need to change my mind on order of the pages, it’s impossible with something glued to both sides. So I just get a background paper and attach everything to that, then slide it in (in front of the white page). If you mean, do you utilize the white paper as part of the background, and just decorate the white paper…no, I don’t do that either. I like lots of decoration and cover every square inch.
Either way, your choice.

What are good websites for free scrapbook downloads?
