I've been meaning to post this awesome tutorial from CT Member Joyce. This is a fantastic tutorial showing off how easy it is to take digital products and turn them into cards. Take it away, Joyce!
1.Create your cardstock pieces with a program like Photoshop Elements. I created 4x4, 5x5, and 4x5 shapes and clipped the patterened papers to them. I flattened the image and printed it onto white cardstock.
2. Next I trimmed my patterned paper pieces and used my Quickutz Epic
to cut out the butterfly and label shapes from the patterned paper. I
gathered up a few more supplies like green cardstock, butterfly
ribbon, Maya Road stick pins, and some buttons.
3. I embellished my butterfly by adding 3 tiny buttons to the front,
foam tape to the back, and stick pins pushed into the foam tape for
antennae.
4. I cut my green cardstock to 5x10 inches, folded in half at the top,
and layered on my elements. Brown patterned paper trimmed to a 4.25"
square, then yellow patterned paper that was cut into a label diecut,
and butterfly in the corner. Another embellishment technique I used
was to add a butterfly flight trail with my punch tool and dot the "i"
of precious using a rhinestone.
Now I have the perfect unisex card for my next baby shower! The Basics
papers are so versatile you can create something for most any occasion!
