Recipe *Ü*
| 1. |
I used a colored
card to compliment my design, you can use plain and then brayer
or decorate it how you wish. Using your scissors decorate the
edges of your card |
| 2. |
I measured
the card to see how many "squares" I could fit on then
if YOU use your stamp positioner to make sure they are straight
etc stamp your design all over the card equally (mine was 12
times) |
| 3. |
While that
dries, on your cardstock stamp up the same design as many times
as you want in your selected colors, emboss if you want and then
carefully cut out when ready. (I used 4 of each color) |
| 4. |
To create
an interesting effect use fiskers to cut some of your "squares"
in half diagonally or straight. Some of these I then glued straight
onto the card over a pre-stamped "square" |
| 5. |
With your
remaining "squares"/"halves" use the sticky
fixers/pop dots to attach them for a 3D effect. |
| 6. |
I didn't have
space on my card but you could then add ribbon/lace along an
edge for a more "Quilt" like effect. Add a charm or
anything you think will make your card come alive! |
Manic Mum says there are no limitations to these cards, She is
currently working on a Tigger one! Use alphabet blocks, anything
you can imagine really, just play. |
