Tiddly Inks Tutorial!

I put together a tutorial this week for Tiddly Inks on two techniques I use to create shaped cards...

Style 1: Creating a hinged card

1) Taking a folded card (any size) and using a die cut, slightly overlap the edge of the creased fold...


2) Run it through the die cut machine & voila! You have a shaped card :)


3) Finally.. decorate & embellish your card and you're done :)

Supplies:
- Annie w/present (Tiddly Inks); All Occasion messages (Hero Arts)
- Circle nestabilities
- Scallop border punch (Stampin' Up!)
- Ink: printer, Frost white colorbox, Uniball signo white gel pen
- Copics: {hair} Y21, Y23, Y26; {skin} E000. E00, R01; {clothes} BV13, BV17, RV02, RV04, RV06
- Other: ribbon,

For those of you that don't want that flat edge where the card folds, here is another technique I use...

1) Die-cut 2 shapes of your choice


2) Take one of those shapes and using a scoring tool, score a line about 1/2" on one side


3) Fold on the score line and add adhesive to that 1/2" space


4) Place the other die cut and press firmly to adhere the two together, and now you have another shaped card!


5) Again, decorate & embellish...

Supplies: 
- Daddy's Girl (Tiddly Inks)
