Serviette cards

The other day I bought a large plastic container to sort out all my serviettes and have them all together instead of in 3 places.. so whilst sorting out all my serviettes, I decided I had to have a play so I made these 4 cards using 1 serviette using 4 different techniques.. giving me 4 different looks.. I hope you like them

For this card I adhered my serviette to some card with Jac paper then used my versamark inkpad and UTEE to make a tile.

For this card I attached the serviette with glad wrap and a hot iron

                                           

for this card I used a product similar to modge podge to adhere my serviette to a piece of card

For my 4th card I looked to YouTube for inspiration and found a tutorial for glitter serviettes

Circle Flip card variation with instructions

I just made another circle flip card but I did this one slightly different

to make a card you will need
Scissors
knife
cutting mat
bone scorer
d/s tape
pencil
eraser
either 3 circle dies or a compass ( I used spellbinder dies they cut out circles approx. 7.7cm, 7.2cm and 6.5cm)
ruler
2 different colours of card
patterned paper
 score board (optional)
If you wish to do decoupage flowers on them like I did then you will also need
A decoupage sheet with flowers (or other pattern if you wish)
silicone or mounting foam
The syringe in the picture is what I use to apply the silicone( I purchase them from the chemist, they are real cheap)

Take the largest die and from a piece of scrap card die cut a circle, fold it in half and set aside for later.
Cut out your decoupage and set aside for later. ( I like to do this now as it usually takes me the longest)
Cut out a piece of card 16.5cm x 11.5cm

Using a pencil and ruler measure from the left side 7cm top and bottom and draw a line. and do the same from the right side.
From the top of the card measure down 2cm on the left hand line and put a small dot.

Now using the circle you previously die cut, place the fold on the circle on the line on the left with the top of the circle touching the dot and trace around the circle.

Using your knife and cutting mat cut around the circle being careful not to cut in between the 2 lines, score and fold the 2 lines being careful not to score inside the circle. Then erase all pencil lines.

With 2nd piece of card cut out 2 pieces measuring 7cm x 11cm and

with the patterned paper cut out  2 pieces measuring 7cm x 10cm

adhere the patterned paper to the card pieces.

(I thought I took a photo of this whilst I was doing it, I hope you can still see what I mean)

Lay card base flat, place the card /paper layer on the card in the position you wish to attach it, Using the large circle die cut you used previously, line up the fold and with a pencil trace around the edge on both pieces.

cut with scissors and erase any pencil lines

attach to card base with d/s tape

Using your 2nd piece of card cut  2 circles using the 2nd largest die.
Using the smallest die an a piece of the same card you used for the card base cut out 1 circle.

attach the 2 larger ones to your card

On the smaller circle stamp a sentiment ( I use the misti because the stamp I want to use never stamps perfectly the first time)

adhere to card

                     

                                 

Use silicone to add your flower..

and your card is finished

Circle Flip card instructions

I was asked for instructions for how I made these cards. for all the cards apart from the 2 Marigold flower cards I used patterned paper, the 2 Marigold ones I used an embossing folder on pieces of card.

to make a card you will need
Scissors
knife
cutting mat
bone scorer
d/s tape

2 different colours of card

6 gems or brads or something similar for embellishment (optional)
score board (optional)
If you wish to do decoupage flowers on them like I did then you will also need
A decoupage sheet with flowers (or other pattern if you wish)
silicone or mounting foam
The syringe in the picture is what I use to apply the silicone( I purchase them from the chemist, they are real cheap)

Cut out your decoupage and set aside for later. ( I like to do this now as it usually takes me the longest)
Cut out a piece of card 16.5cm x 11.5cm

Using a pencil and ruler measure from the left side 7cm top and bottom and draw a line. and do the same from the right side.
From the top of the card measure down 2cm on the left hand line and put a small dot.

Now using the circle you previously die cut, place the fold on the circle on the line on the left with the top of the circle touching the dot and trace around the circle.

Using your knife and cutting mat cut around the circle being careful not to cut in between the 2 lines, score and fold the 2 lines being careful not to score inside the circle. Then erase all pencil lines.

Cut the patterned paper 2.5cm x 11cm an 5cm x 11cm.

Using your 2nd piece of card cut 3cm x 11.5cm and 5.5cm x 11.5cm also die cut 2 circles using the 2nd largest die.
Using the smallest die an a piece of the same card you used for the card base cut out 1 circle.

Using d/s tape adhere the patterned paper pieces to the card pieces. if your using brads add them now.
Now attach to card base with d/s tape and add gems if desired.
Put d/s tape to the back of the 2 circles you cut them same size and attach to the card.
with the smaller circle stamp a sentiment and adhere to circle that is at back (Remembering when card is flat the circle at the front is actually the back one when folded.)

Now you can use your cut out flower pieces and silicone and assemble them on the front circle.

and when finished your card should look something like this
