Tutorial - Diagonal Cut Cards

Quick, resizable, folds flat for postage AND it's a two-for-one!!

1. Start with a piece of cardstock - I'm using an A4 piece but the size doesn't really matter, so use whatever you have in your stash. Place it vertically on your scoreboard and score at the halfway point. Turn it 90 degrees so that it's horizontal and score again at the halfway point.

2. Cut the cardstock diagonally from one corner to the other. Your cut should pass through the intersection of the two scored lines. These two pieces will be individual cards (the two-for-one I mentioned earlier).

3. Fold along the score lines to form the card base.

4. Time to decorate! Cut a piece of patterned paper that is 1/4" shorter and 1/4" narrower than your card base. (For example, if your card base measures 6" x 4", cut your patterned paper to 53/4" x 33/4")

5. Cut the patterned paper diagonally from one corner to the other. These two pieces will fit on the front panels of your card base with a small border around the edges. Secure them in place with glue or double sided tape.

6. Decorate the front in whatever manner you wish. I found that an image panel fixed on one side of the opening provided enough weight to hold the card closed. Just remember to only apply adhesive to one side... you don't want to glue the card closed!

7. I added a white panel to the centre of my card for a personalised message, as well as a little image and some sentiments.

A Little Bird

Glittered edges and a big blue bow are the perfect embellishments for the cute card Deanne created with the new For The Birds set of digital stamps. Head over to her blog for more great projects!

Using the pre-coloured digital image made this card super quick and easy to create, and the narrow strips meant that I could use up some of the cardstock offcuts that accumulate so quickly in my drawer!

Make Mine A Budgie

It's handy to have versatile images that can be coloured in various ways for different people or occasions, such as this little bird. In the digital set, he is a Peach-faced lovebird, but with a few colour tweaks and added markings, he becomes a cute budgerigar.

I've coloured the image with alcohol markers, but you can easily use your favourite colouring mediums to complete the project. Remember to use the appropriate paper for your medium, which will make the process much easier.

Colour the head, neck and wings with a bright yellow, then add shading around the eyes, under the beak, either side of the neck and under the wings. Blend the yellow shades using a variety of markers for a nice smooth transition.

Now colour the rest of the bird with a light green shade. Add your darkest green in the shadow areas - under the tail, at the bottom of the stomach, and under the loose feathers. You can even add some additional texture to the bird if you wish. Blend with the medium markers for a nice, smooth transition.

Beaks and feet are generally the same colour - a warm grey or earth tone.

Colour the stick however you wish, remembering to contrast the colour of the bird's feet with the colour of the stick so they are both discernible.

Time to add the markings that will make this bird recognisable as a budgerigar. Use a dark, warm grey to add little lines around his chin... a bit like a goatee beard.

Now use a blue-green pen to place markings on either side of the face, right next to the beak. These markings should resemble upside-down commas.

Finally, use a lighter shade of warm grey to add textured "stripes" on the sides of the face and shoulders. Make sure you keep them quite rough and textured like the tips of feathers, rather than having smooth sides like a triangle.
