Products used:

 

Tools:

  • Paper Trimmer

  • Ruler

  • Ink Sweeper

  • Paint Brush

  • Basic Grey Precision file (or emery board/sandpaper)

Instructions

  • Cut the white Bazzill into size 17.5cm x the width of the Bazzill (30cm). Fold into three equally sized pieces (width 10cm each).

  • Fold the remaining piece of Bazzill in the same way (three folds the same width as the others).

  • Glue the piece onto the last piece of the taller (first) Bazzill. Glue it to the plain side: glue the left hand pane on the smaller card onto the right-hand pane of the taller piece with the edge against the spine of the last fold. You now have a five-fold piece of Bazzill. The width should be 50cm. See the sketch below for guidance. Lilac folds is the first taller piece, yellow is the second. Note how the second piece overlaps the first.

 

  • Draw an undulating line from the top left-hand side down to the right-hand side of the last smaller panel - see pictures for guidance. Cut along the line you just drew. Sand down any rough edges then ink both sides of the top edge with pink ink. On the textured side use a paintbrush to draw the ink further in from the edge.

  • Using an ink sweeper "sweep" acrylic paint to entirely cover the plain side of the Bazzill. Leave to dry.

  • Brush the edges of the painted side with the pink ink.

  • Cover the undulating line with Berry Sweet Floral Die-Cuts. Ensure that you do not cover the folds. Leave the florals poking above the edges on every other edge but you must ensure that the die-cuts are in line with the edge on the second and third panel. We do not want to see them poking out when we fold the card (see picture of front of card for guidance).

  • Add some Berry Sweet rub-ons here and there where you need to cover a space

  • Add some more Berry Sweet Die-Cuts to two of the panels. Add rub-ons to the others. You can leave one blank for your own written message.

  • Sewing needle and paper piercer

Instructions

  • Cut the Bazzill into size 12" x 7". Fold the two edges on the longer side towards the middle to form two 3" panels.

  • Glue a coordinating paper on top of the other (I used a pink paper from the Berry Sweet Mat Pad).

  • Rub-on a sentiment. You can also print one on the paper first.
