Creative Card: Heart-Air Balloon Card

“Thanks” Heart-Air Balloon Card by Pearl Lui

Materials Used: Silly Season Milk & Cookies (P728), Gingerbread (P729), Friends Rub-on (RB891);
Other: Embroidery floss, Bazzill cardstock, EK Success and Martha Stewart punches

Pearl Says:
” I love dimension, but dimensional cards are hard to get through the mail without them getting crushed. So today, I’m here to share with you one of my favorite ways to create a dimensional card but still have no issues mailing it.
Here’s what you’ll need: Shape punches, scoring tool, embroidery floss” :

“My favorite part is that you can flatten the card to mail it without bulk.”

“And then your recipient can very easily fold the heart balloon right back up.”

1. “Punch a few shapes (3-5) of the same size and score down the middle of each
2. Attach shapes to base cardstock with embroidery floss or a strong sewing machine down the scored middle
3. Fold the shapes up create dimension”

“It’s so easy and fun to make, so I hope you’ll try these kinds of cards too. You can use circle shapes to make circle ornaments or bubbles of all sizes. You can use square or diamond shapes to make dimensional kites. The possibilities are endless! If you give it a try, don’t forget to comment with a link of your card, so we can see what you’ve made!”

Tuesday Tip: Spiral Stem Flowers

Hello everyone. I hope the week has started off well. To kick start our Tuesday we have Toni Crane from our Contributing Design Team showing us how to make Spiral Stem Flowers.

Toni Says:
“With the release of the Kaisercraft Mini Blooms, I thought it would be a good idea to share with you how easy it is to make the little spirals for the flowers with the wire stems, rather than cutting them off.

You will need: A packet of Kaisercraft Mini Blooms and a pair of needle nose pliers. I use a pair of curved ones but a straight pair will work perfect as well.

Grip the end of the wire stem at the tip of the pliers, then wind the wire around the pliers to the bottom of the flower, keeping the spiral tight together.

Ease the flower off the pliers and gently tease the spirals apart, pulling it to one side of the flower so the wire lies flat on the bottom of the flower.

Team these gorgeous flowers with other embellishments from Kaisercraft to add the right touch for your next project.
