    Blog Design Team: Just a Note

    Hey there, crafty friends! Today, Blog Team Designer Julia Stainton has created a beautiful card using lots of gorgeous layers. Check things out below…

    Julia’s Notes: I love creating layers of paper and embellishments on a card design. One
    of my favorite ways to do that is with a pocket, and the beautiful
    Library Pocket
    die is a great addition to a card layout. I
    love this classic die as the possibilities are endless. Fill it with
    notes, with embellishments, with journaling, or even a gift card.

    Julia’s Notes: Today’s
    project holds patterned paper and a die-cut tag with lots of room for
    embellishments on the front. I’ve had fun mixing and matching die sets
    to create these fun felt flower embellishments. They are cut from felt
    and layered with a button die-cut on top of the flower. You can adhere the
    layers together, or hand stitch them, but I’ve zig-zag stitched them
    together on the sewing machine for a quick finish.

    Julia’s Notes: To create the
    tag note that slides inside the pocket, I used a double-sided patterned
    paper. It’s easy to get a two-colored tag by folding over the top of the
    patterned paper before die cutting it. (Tip: Make sure you have the folded
    edge just inside the top of the tag die or it will cut the edge.) To
    finish it off, I added a stamped sentiment and some stitching.

    Julia’s Notes: I
    love adding texture to my designs and it’s easy to create a more
    dimensional branch by using the Sizzix Flower Tool Kit on the Leafy
    Branch
    die. Simply burnish each leaf with the rounded tool on top of the
    foam mat. By adding gentle, firm, circular pressure, it will curl up the
    edges of each leaf.

    Thanks so much, Julia, for sharing how much fun it is to create a multi-layered card. What a wonderful way to add a pocket, too! Be sure to check out Julia’s blog, Belle Papier to see more of her lovely projects.
