Connie Babbert posted this exact card on her blog and I just loved it- I had to duplicate it exactly! She even shared directions on how to make the origami tie! It was so fun to make. Now, I know what you are thinking, not every dad wears a tie; but, the tie is such an iconic symbol of Father's day that it would be just fine to make and give to ALL the dads in your life! Club members made this card last month and practiced their origami skills on scratch paper first.
This 6x6 Summer Scrapbook page was created to highlight a weaving technique you can do with designer papers! Isn't it beautiful?
To create this look, find 2 coordinating pieces of dsp. Start out with pieces bigger than the actual finished piece. Using your paper cutter, cut 1/2" strips, but don't cut all the way. Leave about a 1/2" at the bottom of each piece. Weave the strips in the pattern you like. Create a base to adhere your weaved dsp to. Trim excess dsp and mount onto your project. For more complete instructions, contact me!
The elements at the bottom of the page were made with the Naturally Serif sizzlits decorative stip and the Cherry Blossom and Sweetest Stem embosslit dies.
If you would like to make projects like these, I'd love for you to join one of my clubs. Contact me today to sign up.
