Hello there, Colorado Craft Company is celebrating the Anita Jeram October 2021 release.
This new release is small but the images are big!
For today, I made large format projects but you can make projects in any size.
Any image will fit perfectly on the front of a C6 card, you can also make tags, boxes, or any other papercraft project.
For the previous release here, I did some partial die-cutting to make the card bases and I got many questions about how to do this.
So in the video below I’m sharing 3 easy ways to do it.
The Cardmaking Process
- To make the cards bases, I recomend to use 250grams cardstock.
- Avoid using thick cardtock to easy the partial die-cutting, specially when the dies needs to gro though various leyers of cardstock.
- To add colour to the cards I used Zigs.
- To stamp the images, I used Versafine Onyx Black ink over Strathmore whatercolor paper.
- I used the Misti to be able to stamp shrap images.
- I also used the Platinum 6″ Spellbinders die cutting machine.
- For the eyes, I used a Sakura black glaze pen.
- To add details I used a sakura white gel pen.
*** All supplies used are listed at the bottom of this post.
