Front Step Card Video

Uncategorized

21 Jun

Hello, Crafters.

The
heatwave continues! YAY!

Unfortunately, I’m one of the few people who
actually enjoys this weather! 

The forecast is that today’s the last day,
and temperatures will get back to normal tomorrow!

Earlier
today I posted my Front Step Card video. 

I found this idea in a copy of
Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine.

Unfortunately I don’t know when this
was published because, once I’ve finished with a magazine, I tear out
pages I want to keep! 

The three-page article was with a two-page article
called Budget Makes with Doilies, which is from the same magazine.

If I
assume these articles are from the same month, they were in the July
2015 issue. There’s an advertisement on the back of one of the pages
that says “offer closes 31st July 2015”!

I
found this article when I spent the day in my studio having a good
clear out the day after Liz passed away last week.

I’ll have to have a
closer look at other aticles I’ve kept to see what else I can find! 
 
When
I made the first Front Step Card, I really made hard work of it. 

On the positive side, it
also helped me work out the easy way of doing it. 

By the time I made
the video, I’d finished up with a very smooth and easy process. 

This card
does fits into one of our standard envelopes.

It
was a bit of an effort to get the card to stand up because the ceiling
fan above me was on! 

It was quite funny to watch! LOL! 

The fans were
still on when it came to photographing the cards, so I needed something
to make them stand still and upright!

I found if I put a smallish punch,
like the now retired Petite Petal Punch, inside the box, it stayed put
brilliantly. 

Unfortunately I had to remove the punch when I wanted to
take side view photos, so I had to allow the card to rest against the
white backing. 
 
Just a little tip if you, or someone you know, receives a
Front Step Card greeting card!

This
was the fifth week of five weeks of fancy fold cards I promised. 

I will
try and keep the fancy folds coming, but no promises! 

I hope you enjoy today’s video. ☺

Until tomorrow, happy crafting.

JanB.

    Absolutely love this card and looking forward to trying it today! Really like the paper-piecing on the lady and the lovely contrasts of the DSP on the rest of the card. Beautifully done, Jan … as always!! TFS

      Hi, Geraldine. I was pleased with how this turned out, although I do think it needs some embellishments to finish it off. ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.

    Beautiful card as always… sorry to hear of Liz's passing…. we all do different things when we grieve… I sleep… cleaning would probably be a better use of time… going to try this card with the flamingo in the "Pop of Paradise" and some retired botanical blooms DSP I have been hoarding…. thank you for all of the splendid tutorials!!

      Hi, Chelle. I’ve just found your post! I can see by the date you posted this when I was still with Blogger, and they had stopped sending me notification when crafters had left posts for me! Anyway, I’m pleased you enjoyed this project.Happy crafting, JanB xx

    I love this card. Does this card collapse so you can fit it into an envelope?

      Hi, Jennifer. Yes, this card does fold flat, and it fits into a standard size envelope. Happy crafting, JanB. xx
