Curvy Bracket-Shaped Template Tut

Posted on 03:47 by Unknown


The shape for this card was inspired by this stunning card by the amazingly talented Peet. Here's how I made the curvy bracket-shaped template (and the card) in case you'd like to make your own shape...

(sorry for the sucky photos...)



Step 1) Take a piece of copy or scrap paper & fold it in 4



Step 2) Cut a curve until you have a shape you'd like. (You can draw it on first if you like) You're aiming to draw or cut 1/2 of the finished line that you'd like...



Step 3) Once you have a shape you're happy with, create a template by sticking it down onto cardstock with repositionable adhesive (this is Dotto)



Step 4) Trace the shape onto your template cardstock
Step 5) Cut the cardstock out & label it if you like
Step 6) Trace onto good paper for your project & cut it out.



To make this card...

1) Cut a piece of cardstock to measure 6 inches by 9 inches
2) Score the card at 6 inches to create the fold
3) Trace the curvy shape at the end of the small flap created by scoring
4) Adhere the patterned paper shape to this card
5 Use the template again or just cut freehand with the curvy patterned paper as a guide

Here's a jpg template of the curve I used here:

to use it just right click, select view image (or just click the picture whichenlarges it) then save file as...print on cardstock, cut & trace. :O)

Tomorrow, the other card details & the template for the tall skinny box that's just peeking in at the side of that photo up there...

Thanks for stoppin' in!
:O)
