Hello........! Vintage Telephone (plus video) #affiliate

 

My Vintage Telephone video is up at last...Nicco is waiting on the line to answer your calls lol 

I've had this die set for a few weeks and have only just got around to trying it out. I wish I had made it sooner because it looks beautiful on my craft shelf. I have taken my time to show you every step of construction and it's really easy. You can let me know in the comment section below the video, what you think and what colours you would use for your telephone. Nicco is back on screen today as several of you asked to see him again :)

You can see the video here

Fold Back Aperture Card video #ad

 Good morning. I have a new Friday video (I just published it early because I felt like it lol) You can see it here -

In this video I'm showing you how to use layers and frames of patterned paper to easily create a folded back aperture card. You will only need 2 squares of patterned paper! (one measuring 13.5cm x 13.5cm and the other measuring 12.5cm x 12.5cm)

You don't need any special tools or products as you can adapt this to suit whatever you already have. The only thing you need to remember is to use double sided paper for the actual folded part. You can use a craft knife to cut the paper and a topper or stamped image inside the aperture. You can then add whatever other embellishments you like :) You can see my blog post with photos showing an earlier version of this card here - https://apassionforcards.blogspot.com... If you're interested in the products I have used, these are my affiliate links etc to where you can find some of them..

4. Glue the second large circle on top to cover the glue tabs

5. Glue the pink paper to the lid skirts and shape with a bone folder.

6. Glue these to the lid tabs.

9. Die cut 2 large side panels from ivory card and 2 pink decorative panels.

10. Glue these together and shape with a bone folder.

11. Attach these to a small ivory circle in the same way as you made the lid.

12. Cut 2 ivory stitched strips and glue around the top of the gift box.

13. Glue a smaller ivory circle to the base of the box to cover the glue tabs.

14. Die cut 2 handles from the ivory smooth card, and 3 strap joins from silver card.

15. Attach the 2 handle die cuts together by folding the tabs at one end of each through the strap join.

16. Fold the tabs back and glue in place.

17. Glue a strap join on the back to cover the glue tabs. Glue the other one on the front.
