Bloom Street Turn Around Cards by Kelly Daye


Thursday, April 30, 2020

Hello friends, it’s Kelly Daye here and hooray, we’ve made it through April! Hopefully we’ll be seeing some happy turn around in our communities really soon. Today I’m sharing cards I designed with a turn around of sorts in mind. From left to right the cut files and papers I've used are: Circles Doily from Paper 03, Flower from Paper 14, and Globe (without the stand) from Paper 23. I resized the cut files to fit my card design. The finished cards measure 6x6”.
Each features a miniaturized Paige Evans cut file that’s been paper-backed with Bloom Street. I used both the 6x8 Paper Pad and 2x2 Paper Pads for the smaller prints and other bits leftover from previous projects. For a little glamor, I used silver metallic thread to sew on matching sequins from my stash.

When you minimize a cut file by this much, the lines tend to get quite thin. So I used the Offset Tool in Silhouette Studio to make the lines thicker. Simply offset the original cut file to 0.055, then drag away the offset and erase the original. Ta-da, the lines are now thicker.

The Globe was decorated with a pretty little sticker that says, "the earth laughs in flowers" from the 4-Page Sticker Book. The other two cards have iridescent foil greetings from the Cardstock Stickers. Just dust the back of any sticker with baby powder to change it from a sticker to something you can pop up with foam dots.

I made a cut file for the card base in Silhouette Studio and it’s available for free at my website. Once assembled, a Butterfly Sticker flutters around the card.

The tab attached to each butterfly is made from Washi Tape and allows you to pull the butterfly around the card. There’s a short tutorial on my YouTube channel if you’d like to make one for a friend.

Until next time, stay well dears!
