Hello Ai Fans !!
Are you ready for some blog Hop Fun ?We are launching lots of new things today and the much awaited 2013 girlfriends , I am creating with the new kit Ai will be offering , great Bazzill papers and Prima 6*6 designer papers ( I totally love 6*6 paper as the prints are totally sized for card making , smaller patterns perfect for paper piecing ) and the new Beauty in progress set sku# 4240 . I made three 5.5 square cards and still have tons of paper left , I wanted to give you lots of ideas , when I started with this set my mind was reeling with creative ideas and your will too , something about these girlfriends make you want to create stories and share with your girlfriends.For the new girlfriend launch , I will be giving away a New Girlfriend set ( winner’s choice ) on my blog from April 4-17 , one commit per person please .I will be posting the randomly selected winner April 18 ! Visit each design team members blog and leave commits, as we each will have a winner ,see the Ai blog for their links , Good Luck !!
I used Kit # 1 in all my cards this time.
My first card
 |
card two
|
Third card
I embossed the designer paper with SU square lattice folder and inked edges
next I am going to make a half fan fold rosette ( like TH die ) I am using the 6″ designer paper so cut 2 pcx of 13/4 ” by 6″ strips , use any edge punch the design the edges
next score every 1/2″ down the back sides of each strip
next flip your paper to show pattern side and score at every 1/4″ , by scoring each side it is much easier to fan fold
fan fold and add score tape to edge ( we need a 12 ” strip but we are using 6″ paper so we have to join to make 12″ strip
cut a half circle and hot glue rosette down to edge of half circle , set aside.
next we are going tom add glitter stripes to card , I use 1/8″ score tape and attach and peel tape and add glitter , how pretty does this look
assemble your card
