Happy Holiday season everyone!
Let’s create some easy-to-make Christmas cards together: shop your stash (I did! 😃) and make good use of the tips, tricks & tutorials I’m sharing with you in the below videos! Let me know what you think in the comments.
Have a very merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
You can watch my free video tutorial for my deconstructed envelope card here:
Hope you found these tips & tutorials helpful, either for your Christmas cards or for any other occasion!
Sometimes I only buy 2 or 3 sheets from a design paper collection, mostly when I like the idea of it, but not the entire collection. This was the case with Kaisercraft’s Cottage Rose collection, which had lovely soft colors and some great graphic designs, but which overall I found too generic and boring to buy in its entirety.
So, I chose the sheets I liked the most, and used them all up in one go.
I turned them into four cards, one of which I’m sharing with you this week: a deconstructed envelope card. Also great for Valentine’s Day, btw 🙂
If you’d like to make one yourself, you can check out my free video tutorial!
A little while ago I shared a video tutorial on how to create Version 1 of my deconstructed envelope cards. Today it’s time for Version 2, the original of which I shared in one of my previous posts, it looked like this:
So this week you can learn how to create one yourself, by following along with my new video tutorial! Just pause the video at any time you want to read one of the measurements or instructions, or if you want to study a detail.
Have fun creating, and leave a comment if you like!
I’m still having fun designing what I call Deconstructed Envelope Cards – by which I mean fold-out cards that when closed, resemble envelopes. In previous posts I already shared a square one and a rectangular one.
This week I’m playing around with flaps of different sizes to create a whole new effect. I sized them to exactly fit some Graphic 45 cutaparts, which brings me to another tip: you only have to buy 3 sheets of double-sided paper to get a lot of bang for your buck, as long as one of them is a cutapart sheet!
Paper collections used:
* Graphic 45’s Mon Amour
* Graphic 45’s Midnight Masquerade
Enjoy!
Last week I shared my first Decontructed Envelope Card – this week I’m showing you a different variation of that same design category. This one is actually easier to create, for it doesn’t have any slanted edges like the previous one.
As usual I only modestly decorated, for imho less is still more, most of the times. 🙂
Let me know if you have any questions!
This week I’m pleased to share my latest design category with you all: Deconstructed Envelope Cards. By which mean fold-out cards that when closed, resemble envelopes. This is the first of what will probably be several more variations of this design.
Enjoy!
