Birthday Card with a Gift Card Pocket

 

Hello! Welcome back to the Blank Page Muse Blog. I am wrapping up this month with my last post using the recently released BPM Denim & Lace Digital Printable Kit. If you have missed my first two posts, I linked the posts below:

• Birthday Card with Gift Card Pocket
  
• Gift Card Holder on a Burlap Background
  

After I uploaded the digital sheets, I cropped the image and resized it a little over 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I also cropped the buttons, resized it and duplicated it four times. I cut the buttons using a circle die. I also die cut circles from scrap cardstock so I can stack it and create a chipboard like embellishment.

I applied glue on the circle die cuts.

I used a pick up tool to stack the circles on top of each other placing the button die cut on the top. I set this aside to dry with something heavy over it.

I inked the edge of the button with a brown ink to cover the white and colored cores of the button die cuts.

I poked a hole on the buttons using the printed button holes as a guide.

I threaded a blue metallic floss through the button holes. I set this aside while I work on the card panel.

I flicked micah gold watercolor paint on the print out panel. I set this aside to dry.

After the paint has dried, I added Ranger Glossy Accents to the centers of the flowers. This is my choice of adhesive in adhering non-flat items like the buttons. 

I adhered the buttons to the flower centers. I set this aside to dry.

I fussy cut the blue flowers. I cut it on the outline.

I tucked the flowers behind the die cut sentiment.

I was able to tuck in the flowers since some parts of the sentiment die cut did not adhere to the panel. To secure the die cuts, I applied glue to a spatula.

I inserted the spatula with the glue under the loose parts of the sentiment die cut to transfer the glue to the back of the die cut. 

I trimmed the pocket print out using a paper trimmer. 

I used scissors in cutting the corners of the pocket print out.

I scored the pocket print out on the lines included in the design.

I applied glue to the tabs of the pocket print out.

I adhered the gift pocket to the inside flap of the card front.

I hope you like today's project. Thank you for visiting the BPM blog.

Gift Card Holder on a Burlap Background

 

Hello! Welcome back to the Blank Page Muse Blog. For today's card, I used the BPM Denim & Lace Digital Printable Kit. This is my second post in this month using this digital kit. If you are interested to see my first card using this digital kit, please head on to Birthday Card with a Gift Card Pocket.

I used one of the pocket digital print outs on my card. This page includes two pocket images. After I downloaded the page, I cropped the pocket image I used on my card. You don't have to. I just like to maximize my paper by collating all the images I will be using on a project. 

I resized this image to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". I used Word for Windows in editing the image. I set the margins to zero to maximize the area on the white lightweight cardstock.

The pocket print out has outlines included in the design for folding the image into a pocket. I scored on the line print outs.

The pocket print out also has a notch line printed as part of its design. I used a circle punch to create the notch but you can use scissors instead.

To create the burlap, I adhered a heavy weight kraft cardstock to a double adhesive sheet. 

I burnished the double adhesive sheet to the cardstock. I ran this through my die cut machine using a burlap die. With the adhesive on the back of this intricate die cut, it was easier to adhere it to an acetate and make it look like its floating.

For the sentiment, I prepped the digital print out for embossing using an anti-static powder tool. After stamping the sentiment using a black pigment ink, I poured clear embossing powder over it, then heat set it. 

I adhered glue to the sides of the small flap to create the pocket to insert a gift tag into.

I stamped a sentiment on the inner first flap of this gift card holder. I trimmed off an 8th of an inch from the top and bottom of this gift card holder before adhering it to the burlap background.

Doesn't that digitally printed burlap look real?

I hope you like today's project. Thank you for visiting the BPM blog.

Birthday Card with a Gift Card Pocket

Hello! Welcome back to the Blank Page Muse Blog. Last month, Blank Page Muse released the Denim & Lace Digital Printable Kit. This kit includes 4 zip files. It features junk journal images for printing at home. But who said it can only be used for junk journal, right?

One advantage of digital prints is that you can crop out the image that you will use on your project. You can combine all these images on a sheet for easy printing and also to save on paper. Another advantage is being able to resize these digital images. You can also maximize the printing area by rotating some of the images which I did on the tags on the bottom of the paper. 

I used a paper trimmer to cut the printed digital images.

I used a craft knife to trim off the tags.

I switched to the scissors to cut the curves.

I used a small circle punch for the small buttons. 

For the larger button, I used a small circle die to cut it off. The circle die I used is not open on the center so I created a cutting template to guide me cut the digital print button. I die cut the circle on a scrap cardstock. I lined the opening to the digital print button. I secured the papers together with a washi tape. I positioned the circle die over the opening of the cardstock template.

I ran this through the die cut machine. If the button does not get cut with the first passing, this trick should leave a marking on the digital print button to guide you in positioning the circle die. Just run it through the die cut machine without the template and it should cut the circle.

I blended brown ink on the edges of the rectangular brown digital paper.

I also inked the edges of the digital print tags, strips and buttons.

For the sentiment, I used gold letter rub ons. I used a bone folder to transfer the rub ons to the digital printed tag. 

It might not be perfectly aligned but I like it. 

I used a hole punch to add a hole to the tags.

I added metallic snaps to the tags using an eyelet setter. 

When I was editing these images, I resized this brown panel to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" but somehow, the print out it is about a fourth inch shorter than an A2 card.

I adhered a gold washi tape to the ends of the front card panel to cover the white edges. I adhered the brown dotted panel to the front of the note card.

I adhered the tags to the card front. I adhered the wide digital print strip over the tags making it look like the tags are tucked inside this blue strip pocket.

I love the print on this wide blue strip. It looks very realistic.

I need to create a pocket for a gift card. I adhered the same gold washi tape to the sides on the inside of the card, on the bottom part, mimicking the design of the card front. I added a thin line of glue to the sides and bottom edge of the digital print strip. I adhered this on top of the gold washi tape. I made sure that the bottom of the strip is aligned to the bottom edge of the card.

I adhered the buttons to both strips as additional accents.

I hope you like today's project. Thank you for visiting the BPM blog.
