Just made this one up for my daughters birthday, Of course you don't have to have the square cut out at all and could in fact substitute the square for any shape.
Thought I had better mention that the shoe is a decoupage, (don't know if I spelled it right) and is designed by Jean.
I saw a similar card on "Create and Craft" and decided to try a version for the CR. The main card uses a sheet of A4. I have also attached a second sheet to provide the inner mat and the stripes on the front. The original A4 card can obviously be decorated in many ways.
Make sure you check that the red lines in Tools/Cutting settings/Cutting settings are set to Dashed Line.
I also switched off Track Enhancing, to save the rollers marking the card. (Track enhancing refers to the action of moving the media back and forth several times before cutting is started to stabilise the quality of the cutting and is on the final screen before cutting takes place). The pictures show the unfolded A4 sheet, the folded card as it will come out of the envelope and the completed card.
The boy and girl on the swings come from a GSD I purchased from Paperthreads.
Hope someone may find this useful. It is the first thing that i have taken from an idea to a template. I did post it in the general forum. I have added a couple of fold lines now.
Been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks thanks all that helped. It's a simple card that can be used for lots of things. Sorry it's in GRA format as I haven't got around to working out how to convert them yet.
Okay - here it is.
After, an entire day of trying to work this file out, I am going to post it.
I really had a hard time lining up the back layers. I finally ended up hand
trimming them.
Right now, I love this card and have so many people that want it - but.......
as of this moment, I never want to see it again.
I hope you pros have felt like that at times.
Maybe an expert may want to play with the back layers and get them right.
Or, maybe someone would like to tell me the easiest way to get it straight-
that is if I can manage to look at it again.
My brain just can't function in backwards mode - so trying to turn those
layers around to match the folded card was difficult.
They don't seem to be too much off.
Anyway, I think the card part is okay. I designed it in different colors so
the different images could be cut in different colors. (I know you pros
know that but maybe a newbie doesn't.)
Ok everyone, reinstalled the original software and had to do the foldback card from scratch. Let me know if it cuts alright, I've tested it and it cuts fine.
If it works then I hope to share some more templates.
