PAPER CUTS & SCORING
Coloured Card Stock base cut to 6.5″ x 3.5″ and
Scored at 3.25″

~ now for the tutorial you have been waiting for ~ 
 
Start by die cutting around 20-22 hexagon shapes from patterned paper.  I used the 2nd smallest from the nested hexagon die set.
Glue hexagon pieces to coloured card stock cut at 6.5″ x 3.5″ and scored down middle at 3.25″ in quilt pattern.
  Trim off the over hang of the scallops and use the cut offs to fill in the remaining few small areas that didn’t have a hexagon shape glued down on.
Gently and repeatedly work at score line again to help hexagon shapes fold over.
Use corner rounder to round out edges.
 

 

Cut two of the second smallest scalloped hexagons from the Tales Of Oz Paper Pack.  These are the tabs.  Glue about 1/2 of the scalloped hexagon tag to inside of front and back cover.
 

 

Cut two 3″x3.25″ panels from the Tales Of Oz Paper Pack, corner round them and glue to inside of book on each side.
 

 

Cut both a left and right pocket using the pocket dies and use the corner rounder on both bottom corners of each pocket and glue to inside of book.
 

 

Cut the second largest Nested Frames Die from Tales Of Oz Paper Pack and ink blend edges with antique linen oxide ink.  Trim off maybe 1/2″ and glue flat to front cover.
 

 

Die cut Poppies and ink blend edges of them with Saltwater Taffy oxide ink.  Attach poppies adding white highlights and dots to the petals.
 
Colour duck and attach with dimensional tape.
 
Stamp sentiment and attach with dimensional tape.
 
Hole punch tags and tie with ribbon.

Little Monster

Published on by allie030Leave a comment

Hello everyone! I’m sharing with you today this super scary monster! He’s terrifying! Well…maybe that’s not the right word to describe him. Let’s go with hilarious! Look at the expression! His face says it all!

To make the card I first coloured him with copic markers on Neenah solar white 80lb card stock, then I masked him off so I could do a bricklay stencil for the background. I wanted to keep this card fairly close to one dimensional. I used distress oxide ink in the colour tea dye for the bricks. I taped off at the bottom of the bricks so I could colour the bottom portion of the card with oxide inks in the colour mowed lawn (to give the look of grass)

I finished the card with some diecut flowers in little wooden crates and a sentiment that suited his expression so well. Both were popped up with dimensional tape and I adhered everything to Neenah classic crest solar white 110lb card base.
