Saturday Showcase: Shabby Chic Card with Prima Lavender Collection

Hello, Friends! Welcome to another edition of Saturday Showcase.  I'm excited to be here, and hope you have some creative time set aside this weekend as I have a lovely shabby chic card tutorial using Prima's Lavender Collection.  Many of us love the look of richly patterned papers, but have been timid about cutting into them.  I think today's project will set us free to dig into our paper stashes and create beautiful things!


Isn't this collection just gorgeous?  And look at all the layers!  I'll show you exactly how to put this 5" x 7" top fold card together in the YouTube video below.  


In addition to the supplies from the Funkie Junkie Boutique, you will need the following to make this card:


  • Two 8.5" x 11" sheets of plum colored cardstock
  • Two 8.5" x 11" sheets of lavender cardstock
  • Adhesive
  • Scoring Tool
  • Ribbons and buttons from your stash
  • Hot Glue Gun or other quick setting adhesive



So go grab a cuppa and a snack, notebook and pencil and we'll get this show started!

How To Create a Shabby Chic Layered Card with Prima Lavender Collection






Wishing you a weekend filled with joy and creativity!

Cheerio,
kathy

      Gina, if you watch the Really Reasonable Ribbon YouTube channel, there are several bow tying videos. That's where I learned. It takes lots of practice, but you can do it!
