Scrapbooking - Card Making

 

Stickers are great for scrapbooking, but they can also be used to make beautiful cards for your loved ones. In this article, we look at two beautiful cards made with PSX stickers which you can personalise for any occasion. They are great for friends, mothers, grandmothers or daughters!

 

Scrapbooking - Card Making

 

This first card was made using PSX Pink Hydrangeas stickers, pink Bazzil cardstock, pink patterned paper, pink vellum and cream cardstock.

 

To begin with, cut your card from your Bazzil cardstock. The textured nature of this cardstock provides an excellent background for your card. The front of my card measures approximately 12cm by 17cm.

 

Next, cut a piece of your patterned paper. It should be just over 10cm wide and about 15-16cm tall. This piece is to be angled across your card. The long sides are to keep their straight edge, but the shorter edges are going to be torn. Before tearing, play around with the placement of your paper on the card. You want to make sure that you tear your edges so they are approximately parallel to the bottom edge of your card (even though the piece of paper is angled). When you are happy with your placement, tear the edges and then adhere the paper to you card. This is also a good time to adhere your main sticker - the pink hydrangeas.

 

Now take your vellum. You can either cut a small rectangle to angle in the bottom left-hand corner or make it into a little envelope by folding the sides under. In the end, it should measure about 5cm by 3cm and be placed in the bottom left-hand corner so that it slightly overlaps your patterned paper.

 

Finally, we are going to use the two butterfly stickers and the quote. Place these three stickers on your cream cardstock. Cut them out around the edge of the sticker. This will give the stickers are cream border (the background to the stickers is clear). They are now ready to be adhered to your card.

 

There is a trick to adhering your butterflies. Butterflies basically comprise of the body and the wings. What you want to do is gently fold along the two lines where the wing meets the body. When gluing to the card, apply your adhesive ONLY under the body of the butterfly. When it is dry, fold up the wings slightly to give your butterflies a more three dimensional feel. 

 

Scrapbooking - Card Making

 

This card is slightly more difficult to make than the one above, although it can still be achieved by even the novice scrapper / card maker. It was made with PSX Blue Hydrangeas stickers, purple Bazzil cardstock, cream cardstock and Yellow Flash fibre.

 

As with the last design, begin by cutting your card from your Bazzil cardstock. Again, the front of my card measures approximately 12cm by 17cm.

 

The next step is to make a small tag from your cream cardstock. It can be any shape you like, but try not to make it too big. Mine measures approximately 7.5cm by 4cm. Write whatever message you would like on the tag, but angle it so that when you angle your tag on the card, the text will be straight. Finally, thread a small piece of fibre through the top hole.

 

Now take your Hydrangeas sticker. You will notice that there are two separate groups of flowers on the single sticker. What you want to do is cut the sticker basically in half. Make sure the top group of flowers keeps its stem, two leaves on its right and a small leaf on its left. As a result, the bottom group of flowers will have four leaves around the top left and another at the bottom right.

 

Place the top sticker at the top of your card. Make sure you angle it slightly. Next, place your tag on top so that it covers some of the stem. I suggest not placing an adhesive under the fibre end of the tag as you may wish to tuck the next sticker underneath it. When you are happy with your placemat, add the bottom hydrangeas sticker. Angle it in the opposite direction to the first sticker. 

 

Now all you have to do is add the bees. The bee in the bottom left was adhere directly onto the card. I then took the two identical bee stickers, placed them onto the cream cardstock and cut them out. I place one in the top corner of the tag. For the other one, I followed the same technique as with the butterflies on the first card. I gently folded along the wing line. I then placed glue behind the body of the bee only and placed it on top of the other bee sticker. When the glue was dry, I folded the wings up to give that three dimensional feel.

 

Both these cards are a great way to show someone how you feel or with them a wonderful day on a special occasion. They both are relatively simple to put together and yet have a stunning effect. And what's even better is that they are made with archival materials, so your friend or family member will be able to treasure them for many years to came (and maybe even use them in their scrapbooks!).
