Doodle ‘n Tute

Published by leslierich at 8:56 pm under Cards, Stampin' Up! projects, Tutorials

Doodle n TuteHere’s three 4 1/4″ square cards, each using a different sheet of the SU! Petals and Paisley double sided designer paper.  The layers are the same sheet of paper, just alternated sides.  Two of the cards feature the Doodle Alphabet and the middle card features a flower from Doodle That.  The cardstock colors are Pretty in Pink, Cool Caribbean, Regal Rose, So Saffron, and Certainly Celery.  Each has a paper covered slide mount forming a frame for the main image.  For anyone who hasn’t tried covering a slide mount before, I’ve shared easy instructions below:

1.  Slide 1      2.  Slide 2

1.  Cut a piece of designer paper slightly larger than your slide mount.  Adhere slide mount to the back side of the paper and trim snugly around the edges.

2.  Sand the edges, if necessary, to smooth out any uneven or rough spots.  I use fine grain sand paper, but a sanding block or emery board will work, too.

3.  Slide 3      4.  Slide 4

3.  Lay the slide mount paper side down and cut an X through the frame.

4.  Fold the paper flaps from the front to the back and adhere flat to the back of the slide mount.  Trim off any overhang.

Now you’ve got a cute little frame and all you need is an image or greeting for the inside!  I hope you enjoy!

    This is a really cute idea - if I had a cuttlebug with a slide mount diecut (do they have one for a cuttlebug) then it would be awesome to use chipboard.

    Leslie these are just adorable! Thanks for the slide mount tutorial — it’s almost like covering a light switch with wallpaper.

    Don’t we just have the most fun projects at our hostess parties?!? These cards look so complicated, but it was just lots of altenate sided layering of really cute SU designer paper. The cards are actually 4 1/4″ X 4 1/4″. Thanks again Leslie for a fun, fun stamping party. Nancy

    Leslie, I love using things I already have. My husband worked for Eastman Kodak for 35 years. I have plenty of slide monunts laying around. You have just inspired me to use them thanks.
