Layered Border Card with Maker’s Movement

Make a layered card with a border die from Maker’s Movement.

Working with Maker’s Movement today I am making a layered border card. Using only one die from the Borders Die Set, I achieved this beautiful activity on the front of the card. The cardstock is created by brushing Distressed Oxide onto each layer before using the die.

I used the first die in the set above, I am excited to try out all the other dies as well after making this card!

Materials:

white cardstock
Borders Die Set
Distressed Oxide inks
cosmetic brush
double-sided tape
Xyron sticker maker
sentiment stamp
paper trimmer
scissors
Make Art board

Making a Motion Card with a TLC Die

Follow along as I made a motion card using a die from TLC Designs.

I received this Double Dial Die from TLC Designs. This is my first time using a die with motion or activity and making a motion card. The process is rather two-fold in that you put the mechanism together and then design the visual elements for the card. It was fun trying to decide what images would work well with the motion.

Double Dial Die
Hampton Art stamp set

Mini Embroidery Pattern for a Card

Today I have a post on the ScraPerfect blog sharing how to make faux foam tape. The card above uses it to lift the sentiment up from the card. The card also includes a mini embroidery piece.

Here is the rough sketch for the embroidery work. You can download a PDF pattern with stitches indicated by clicking on the image above.

The french knots and flower petals use 6 strand embroidery thread, all other stitches use 2 strands.
