You will simply need an A4 paper (if insert is for A5 card) and some imagination.
I created this insert with MS Word, by first searching ‘frame’ in clip art and then applying words inside the frame. The frame needs to ‘be sent behind text’ in text wrapping (right click and go to format picture). I have also applied a paw print picture which I found on the net. This is sent to back & behind text again from format picture.
Type the greeting, print and fold in half. You can also cut the edges of the insert paper with scissors having a decorative cutting edge instead of a straight one. Also shapes can be punched with a card punch, showing the paper underneath. Put it inside the card and attach with double-sided tape or photo corners next to the fold... and it’s done!
3D decor foil
The corner on the card was decorated with a decor foil. This is another great way to decorate paper, wood, plastics, textiles and wax (as in candles). It is very effective when designing monograms as I’ll show here.
You need:
A5 colored paper
3D glue for foils
Decor foil
Stamps & stamp pad (optional the pic shows an acrylic block with clear stamp)
Pattern design
It is possible to create brilliant effects with the decor foil and the 3D glue for foils. I applied the 3D glue for foils directly out of the bottle and onto the paper to be decorated. I printed the design directly on the paper and went over it with the glue. The bottle has a medium fine nozzle and it is easy to use – given a steady hand :-P
The 3D glue for foils dries up transparently, but it remains sticky. Now you can apply the decor foil. Important: the metallic or coloured side has to be above and facing you!
Press on well and gently go around all the corners and then peel it off. Repeat on all areas as needed. You will be left with the colour from the foil attached to anywhere the glue is applied. Foils are available in different colours. Clean any tools with water and soap.
Enjoy trying them for yourselves. Take care x
