Hi everyone. today I would like to share with you my first attempt at a ' hinged filigree ' card. Ok, so I checked on you tube how to make one. Lots of good instructions, but no what thickness of card to do it with. Tried with 250 gsm....no...…!!! So obviously thicker card was a no no. Used 220 gsm and just about managed it. Tricky ? yes ! On the one inch fold score line for the filigree card , where you are going to attach front to the back, after running it through your machine, if it does not cut through the die, add a shim just along that one inch fold and it should work. I wish some one had told me so that there would not have been oodles of screwed up card !
So here is my final finished go.....elegant, clean and I really like it !
I used a Spellbinder die ' Timeless Rectangles '
The flowers were made from cream pearl paper, die cut , scrunched up and shaped.
Should you decide to make one, try it out on some card that you no longer like using then if not happy with the result you won't feel too bad !
Take care, hugs xxx
