Offset Panels

By Anita Light

Materials Required:

Thick Green hand made paper and Pinky Brown

hand made paper.

Dark Natural corrugated paper 13cm x 5.5cm:

COR01.

12cm Length of raffia.

8cm Length of wood approx. 2mm wide or a

dried grass stem.

Rubber stamp from Superstamps: Happy

Birthday.

Gold embossing powder and a clear slow drying

ink pad.

Embossing heater: HOT01.

P. V.A. Craft adhesive and 2 sticky fixers.

Card mount: SF03U-44, Linen Cream.

To Make The Card:

Place the opened out card face up on the

work surface and using the clear pad, stamp the

greeting along the side of the front panel close

to the open edge.

Sprinkle the gold embossing powder over

the stamped wording and shake off any excess

powder, check carefully for any loose flecks and

remove them as they will show very clearly after

embossing.

I make my own paper but this type of paper

is available in shops or you could use mulberry

paper for a similar effect, layering it to make it

less see-through. Tear the paper to make the

three sections with nicely rounded corners using

the photo to guide you.

Protect the work surface with some old news-

papers or cardboard. Heat the stamped wording

using the gun, keep it

moving gently across

the design to avoid

overheating any part

of it. As the powder

warms up it will start

to emboss, stop heating

as soon as the whole

design is embossed.

Place the three sections in ‘tree shape’ position

(face down if your paper has a right side). Cut a

pot from the pinky brown paper and position it

beneath the tree sections.

Cut the wooden stick to length and lay it in

position on the shapes. Cut two sticky fixers in

half and using one piece for each section, peel the

backing from one side only and stick across the

stem and onto the paper beneath. Tie the raffia

round the stem making a small bow at the front.

Allow the embossing

to cool then glue the

corrugated paper panel

onto the front of the

card mount.

Peel all the remaining backing pieces from

the sticky fixers and press the tree and pot onto

the corrugated paper to finish.
