Paper Rose Heart & Home Shaker Card Folio Tutorial for Wonderful Wednesday
Hello, Friends! Don’t you want to just cozy up inside this Paper Rose Heart & Home Shaker Card Folio? Today’s Wonderful Wednesday tutorial is filled with lots of easy techniques and ideas that will help you create a card so beautiful, you might want to live in it!
My “go to” card size is 5″ x 7″ (A7). I also prefer a top fold style card because they are so pretty when on display (and they photograph better, too!). But how do you make an A7 card base with 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper? If you haven’t seen me do this in the past, you’ll learn just how quick and easy it is in today’s tutorial.
Most of the elements in today’s project are made using the Heart & Home Quick Cards Kit. With a lovely selection of 6″ x 8″ patterned papers and 4 sheets of embossed die cuts, it has a lot to offer.
Shaker Cards are the Best
Arch shaped dies are all the rage right now. So I used one of the Heartfelt Creations Eyelet Frame Gateway Dies to create my shaker window. This creates that “I could walk into this card” feeling because of the depth and dimension it adds to the card design. You can use any arch die, or any of the Heartfelt Creations Gateway dies to create this effect.
Surprise Pop Out Box
Y’all know that I enjoy creating the insides of my cards as much as I enjoy embellishing the outsides. Add a simple flap feature inside the card along with an easy to make pop out box. This surprise element adds fun and elevates the design, too.
