Hello Dear Friends,
Shalini Pahwa here,
It's time now - to sing out; Tho' the story never ends
Let's celebrate; Remember a year in the life of friends

The above lyrics from a song from the Broadway Musical “Rent” captures the human emotions of Autumn. There is something about the Autumn season that is magically romantic. Trees bursting into hues of red-gold -orange, the weather getting cooler, the nights drawing in, birds chirping everywhere and a sense of energy in the air. Autumn is the season of love.

To celebrate this lovely weather and the nature’s cycle and message to “Let go and release the negativity of our lives”, I present to you a lovely mini album appropriately titled “The Season of Love” using Indie Chic Collection and 3D shaker Chippis.

Hello,

This is Ujjwal and I am showcasing the mesmerizing Indie Chic Papers through this step fold card that I created. I also have a step by step photo tutorial on how to make it, so I hope you enjoy making your own.



The papers in the Indie Chic collection are so vibrant and pretty. The color palette is unique and beautiful and I had the most fun creating this project.


Tutorial for Step Fold Card



Step 1: Use the coordinated 12" X 12" cardstock available in the collection and cut two pieces of size 12"X6"


Step 2: Score one piece of 12"X6" at 6" on the longer side, such that when you fold it, it becomes a 6"X6" card base.


Step 3: Cut the other piece of 12'X6" at 9.5" and score the 6"X9.5"cardstock at 1.5", 3", 6", 9"



Step 4: Reinforce the folds and adhere the two pieces together as shown in the picture. It will now become a long piece folded piece measuring 6" X 21"



Step 5: Pick 2 pieces of pattern papers from the Indie Chic Collection and cut matting papers for the card keeping a 1/8th margin on all subsequent layers. Exact measurements are mentioned in the image.


Step 6: Using a distressing tool or the edge of your scissors, lightly distress the edges of the pattern papers.



Step 7: Fussy cut the journaling sheet and the element sheet to create your unique, coordinating embellishments.
