I am up on the Core'dinations blog today! With Mother's Day fast approaching I am on the lookout for ways to make the day even more special. A handmade touch is one sure way to make mom smile and today I am going to share with you a card that you can make for her using a few simple tools and cardstock!
Supplies Used:
- Core'dinations Essentials Cardstock - Neutrals
- Core'dinations Tim Holtz - Nostalgic- Kraft-Core 6 X 6 Pad
- Darice Quilt Embossing Folder
- Triangle Punch
- Leaf Metal Die Cut
- Button
- 1-2 inch circle from scrap paper
- Quick Drying Liquid Adhesive
- Sand-It Gadget and Dust Buddy
- Mom Electronic Cut File
Step 1: Use the embossing folder to emboss the blue cardstock. Sand it to bring out the Kraft color and dust it off with your dust buddy.Cut it down to be a 4 X 4 inch square and attach it to a 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 card base.
Technique Tip: Embossing weakens cardstock so as you are sanding be gentle and try be deliberate in what direction you are going. I like to sand all one direction and then turn the card and sand another direction until you have brought out as much of the core as you want to show.
Step 2: Punch out triangles and fold the short side of the triangles over like pictured.
Step 3: Fold the triangles in half so that they will have dimension.
Step 4: Using a strong adhesive like hot glue attach the "petals" to the circle (the circle won't show so any scrap paper is great - it just gives you a base to build before adhering it to your card).
Step 5: Once all the petals are glued down attach it to your card and add a button to the center.
Step 6: Add leaves underneath the flower petals and attach the Mom sentiment. I cut my sentiment on my Silhouette Cameo but letter stickers would also work great!
