Happy Saturday everyone! Michelle here with you today and I want to share one idea for creating your own 3×4 PL card from scratch! As much as I love the set of cards that are included in the monthly PL Kits, occasionally in order to fit my layout design I need to make my own like I did here using the October PL Kit:
To make this card, I cut down a piece of white cardstock to a 3×4. Next I cut out a piece of patterned paper so that it would go diagonally across the top of the card. Next, I chose a blue sticker strip and sewed it down on top of my patterned paper.
At this point I felt like the white space was going to be too bare, so I stitched a quick border with my sewing machine and then added some mist droplets. After drying, I layered a flower and gold leaf over the patterned paper and applied a rub on to the bottom. My final touch was to add some puffy heart and a few sequins from my own stash.
Want to create layouts like this? Our monthly kits include coordinated papers, embellishments, and supplies to bring your scrapbook pages to life.
Here’s what it looks like on the completed page:
As you can see, the flower card wasn’t the only card that I made. I was needing to add a neutral color into the design to balance out all the colors, so I cut a 3×4 rectangle out of the black plaid paper from the Main Kit. Here are some closeups:
Thanks for stopping by the blog today!
