Today’s tutorial is for a framed vellum birthday card. Creating a frame for the vellum is just another way of hiding the adhesive that would otherwise show through it.

I’ve used the Scalloped Contours dies to create my frame but many other die sets would work equally well (eg. the Countryside Corners die set).

In the tutorial below, I take you step by step through creating the framed vellum birthday card. I also have a supply list for purchasing anything you don’t already own.

Colour Combo

This colour combo mixes Moody Mauve, Bubble Bath and Old Olive.

Framed vellum birthday card

Start with an A6 landscape card (tent fold ie. the fold is at the top) of Moody Mauve. Cut a (3-7/8″ x 5-1/2″) card front layer of Delightfully Eclectic DSP. Using the Scalloped Contours dies, die cut a frame from the centre of the DSP layer. Adhere a panel of Vellum Basics Specialty DSP behind the window and use dimensionals to pop the layers up on the card front (see video). Using Blackberry Bliss ink, stamp a sentiment from the Pansy Patch set onto a small label die cut from Basic White card with another of the Scalloped Contours dies. Adhere the sentiment label to the centre of the vellum panel.

Here’s a short video with tips for creating a vellum frame. Please subscribe to my Youtube channel to see my quick cards and quick tips each week.

Framed vellum birthday card insert

On the Basic White insert, using Blackberry Bliss ink, stamp another sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set. Add a border of Delightfully Eclectic DSP across the base.

If you need further ideas for using vellum without adhesive showing then please see how I used a sentiment panel for one card and created a vellum skirt for another card.

Thanks for stopping by.
