Craftsulove Design Team - September Card and Tutorial

Morning everyone

I'm back with another card and tutorial for you using products available in the Craftsulove store and in their online store. For my tutorial today I'm using the wonderful 'Snowflake Wreath' die set from John Next Door, the gorgeous 'Winter Feelings' Christmas paper pad from Studiolight which I've absolutely fallen in love with, along with Kraft card, glitter and gems. To add extra dimension to my card I die cut several deer heads and wreaths which I then glued and stacked together, this creates a fabulous mount board effect without the expense. Why not try it on a few of your projects. :)

So onto what we are making today....I hope you like it x  You can find the product links below or click here for a direct link to the store.


You Will Need
(Products available from Craftsulove):
‘Winter Feelings’ Paper Pad by Studiolight
'Snowflake Wreath' by John Next Door

Silver Mirra Card

From My Own Stash:
7” x 7” Card Blank
Kraft Card
‘Vintage Photo’ Distressing Ink
Double Sided Tape
Glitter
Foam Pads
Gems

To Make The Card
1. Trim down a piece of Kraft card to 6½” x 6½” and ink around the edges with distressing ink.

2. Separate a sheet of the paper from the pad and add glitter to the snowflakes (as shown in the photo below). Adhere this to the centre of a piece of mirror card 6¼” x 6¼” leaving a border around the edge and then onto the Kraft card. Add them all to the front of a white card blank.

3. Using the snowflake wreath die set cut out a circle from white card, then add distressing ink and glitter around the edge.

4. Die cut 4 deer heads from Kraft card, then glue and stack 3 of the heads together. Add distressing ink to the edges of the remaining head and glue it on top of the stack.


5. Die cut 4 snowflake wreaths, then repeat the steps as above. 


6. Glue the wreath and deer head to the centre of the circle.


7. Add the circle to the card front using plenty of foam pads.

TIP: You can use kid’s white funky foam as an alternative to foam pads, simply cut up large pieces and glue them into place.

8. To finish the card, add large and small gems to the centre of the snowflakes.
