Inside
This week we would like to see you decorate, embellish or otherwise enhance the inside of your card.
Ww are attending a close friend's daughter's wedding in a month. Dave has known her since the day she was born, and I have known her since she was 5 (ouch thats a long time!!). So I have used this challenge to make a wedding card for them.
This is the outside of the card, the serious bit ...
I generated the text on the computer and cut it out and matted it using my labels nesties. I added organza ribbon to the dp and a prima flower and a heart charm. The swirls are made using my EK success punch. The navy organza is fastened at the back of the card and holds the card closed so it fits in an evelope more easily.
And the inside is more cute, and a pop up ...
I watercoloured the image and cut it out using my fiskars cutter. I used the same labels nesties for the greeting, and followed the ribbon and flower detail through from the front.Oh and I decorated the back to in order to secure the navy ribbon tie.
OK so this is how I made the pop up bit inside ...
First I made the card blanks, the outer measuring 13.5cm by 27cm, and the inner 13cm by 26 cm. I used pearlised card for both to add some strength to it, but you can use paper for the inside one if you want. I scored and folded them.
I covered the inner with my design paper, putting a thick width of glue across the centre fold so the paper is secureed to the card.
Next from each edge I marked in 5 and 1/2cm on the centre fold, and 2cm above and below the fold at this point and joined the marks to make 4cm parallel lines.
I scored these lines and then eased the pop out section out so a tab is formed.
To make the image with the daisy sitting outside the circle I used my Fsikars shape cutter. I placed the template as shown so I got a flat bottom and could have the flower sitting outside the circle rim.
Finally I stuck the image onto the tab and decorated the inside.
Finally assemble the card by putting the inner and outer together, making sure the centre folds sit flush so it opens and closely properly.
