Materials: Patterns with instructions (your choice)
Thick parchment paper
Tape
Ruler
White pencil
Tracing pen
White Tinta ink
Embossing pad
Embossing tool
Felt pad
Scissors or a single- or double-needle tool (your choice)
Optional: pastel color pens and tissue - Place the parchment paper on top of the pattern of your choice and tape it down so it won't move during the tracing process.
- Use a ruler to mark the outline of the pattern with a white pencil. This will be your folding line.
- Dip the tracing pen into the white Tinta ink and trace along the outline of the entire pattern (figure A).
- Turn the traced outline parchment paper upside down and place on an embossing pad.
- Rub the design with an embossing tool (figure B) -- the embossing tool is used as a burnishing tool. This technique will "raise" the design on the parchment paper when you turn it back over.
- Remember to go by the instructions that are given with the pattern you chose.
- Fold the card together and cut the excess paper with scissors or a single- or double-needle tool. Note: Be sure to place the parchment card on a felt pad before using either needle tool.
- If you use a needle tool, simply punch holes around the design, then push down on the excess paper with your thumb to tear the paper away.
- If color is desired, use pastel color pens on the back of the design, then roll up a tissue and rub it out. This creates a subtle color on the front. Also, you can use the embossing tool to create some lines or a design on the colored portion of the card.
Products: All products can be found at a crafts store. Be sure to ask for "thick" parchment paper.
