Teddy Bo Top Tips

 

Today we have a great teacher for you it's the one and only Hazel with another fantastic tutorial for us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For this tutorial I have concentrated on how to make the twisted easel card blank and how to make the stopper so your card stays upright.

• In advance make and decorate two 14cm square panels.  One with your Teddy Bo image on and with just the same backing paper on. 

• Cut A4 card to 29cm by 14.5cm and fold in half.  With the card blank in front of you in pencil mark the fold you need to make and then score.  See photo below.

• Your card blank should now look like this.

• You now need to attach your two square panels that you made at the start to your card blank.  Begin by glueing you plain panel onto the base of your card(the side that has no score line running diagonally across it .

• Now comes the only tricky bit.  Turn your card over so that the base panel is on the left underside and you can see the fold line as in the photo.

• Use glue or tape to attach your prepared card front to only the section shown in red (see photo above)

• You now need to decide which type of stopper you want on your card.  Either a strip of card that matches your card or some sort or round stopper, like a large button or a die cut shape like I have used below.

• Here are photo's to show you the placement of both stoppers so you decide how you would like your card to look.Your stoppers need to be on foam pads as you need it raised up so that it will stop your card falling flat.  I usually use a depth of 2 foam pads.  First the strip stopper.

• And here is the other version of a stopper.
