TUTORIAL TUESDAY

I hope you all had some quality time with your loved ones at Easter, and didn't eat too many Eggs! Today it's Tuesday again, and I have a SPRINGCARD to make. This is what you need: - Piece of Cardstock 5 x 10 inches - Cutting tool - Scoring tool - Adhesive (I use tape from Scorepal) - Design Papers and embelishments - A digi from Shelly's Images

Take your piece of Cardstock and score at 2,5 and 5 inch

Mark the Cardstock at the long side at 7,5 inch (above and beneth) and at the short side at 2,5 inch

Now score diagonal from 2,5 till 7,5 inch both sides and fold as shown

Cut off the outside triangles

Fold the Springcard and to make sure it can stand, put some adhesive as shown.

Now you can start decorating it, as you wish. I made mine with papers from Maja , used last week's featured Image once more cause I love it so much, the text says Cows and Mills, really Dutch. I hope to have inspired you to make a Springcard, and make sure to be back on Thursday to see the new Featured Image and all the work of our wonderfull DT-ladies!

TUTORIAL TUESDAY : FAUX PAPER PIECING

Do you love the look of perfectly paper-piece projects but couldn't be bothered by all that extra printing and fussy cutting?

If you answered "YES, that's me!" this tutorial is for you ...

FAUX PAPER PIECING 

STEP ONE

Print your image onto patterned paper :

(TIP : an all over pattern in lighter colours achieves a better final product)

STEP TWO

Colour your image in your medium of choice:

 

STEP THREE

Create and embellish your card.

That's it ! You're done!

How easy is that?!

I hope you come back and show us what you've made using this technique.

Spotlight On...

...Easter

I love making Easter projects.  And I LOVE this "sour cream" container that Jen made using our Easter Chick digi stamp.  This is perfect for some special treats at each place setting at the Easter table.  Or the perfect addition to a special Easter Basket.

Be sure to browse through our other labels in the right sidebar.  We have lots and lots of inspiration there for all of your projects.
