TUESDAY TIPS & TECHNIQUES

I must be honest and say that this project probably better fits the ‘fun fold’ category but I’m sharing it today.

The main technique today is a card closure.

Who has never made a bellyband? I can’t imagine there are many of you who haven’t because we all know it is a simple way to hold our cards closed.

The card itself is a centre, gatefold card that uses this bellyband to keep it closed.

The card and band have been decorated using the Joyful Days Memories & More Cards.

When the card is opened you will find a shutter just like you would find in a camera apeture

TIP: Next time I would make sure that I made the shutter feature in the same colour as the card base so that it is not so obvious!

The card encased with its bellyband and the new products I used to make it.

The card front was embellished using the Traditional Sparkling Sequins (165875 $14AU)

Finally, I tied a triple bow using the new Old Olive Linen Thread.

Tomorrow I will have another card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. As you read through this post, you will see the products I used for this project. The new items are available from September 3rd.
