Hello, my crafty friends!
I literally have an Extra special card to share with you today. When I saw these new dies from the latest Picket Fence Studios release, I knew exactly what I wanted to create. My vision was clear: to elevate the feathers on this card to a whole new level and make it so extra. And what better way to achieve that than an off-the-edge card design.
CARD RECIPE
SO EXTRA
- Apply a thin layer of Paper Glitz - Sparkle to a white piece of cardstock and allow to dry.
- Die-cut a couple of layers using the You Are So Extra Word Die, and stack and glue them together.
- Die-cut another layer using the Sparkle Glitz layer and glue on top of the previous layers. Set aside.
- On a piece of white card stock blend out the colors you want to use for the feathers. I used yellow, pink, and blue ink.
- Over the blended inks add a layer of the same Paper Glitz - Sparkle paste. Allow to dry.
- Once dry, die-cut the feathers using the More Fanciful Feathers Dies. Glue them onto another black die-cut layer.
CARD BASE
- Line up the feather dies along the top edge of an A2-sized black card panel. Tape them in place.
- Line up the top plate of your die-cutting sandwich over the top half of the feather dies, so that only the top of the feathers are cut out.
- Trim away the extra space around the feathers using a straight edge or a slicer.
- Line up the colorful feathers from the previous step onto the off-the-edge panel.
- Glue the You Are So Extra Word layer onto the bottom of the panel.
- Next, glue the finished panel onto a horizontal A2-sized card base, ensuring that the feather edge aligns with the fold of the card base.
- Trim off the excess bottom of the card base. This results in a card that extends off the edge, perfectly sized to fit into an A2-sized envelope.
- Finish the card with some gemstone stickers.
Do you know someone who's just a little extra? I sure do, and I think this card would be perfect for them! Stamp a happy birthday sentiment on the inside or something else to make them smile and send it to them.
Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
